Dynasty: "Jeff Colby" actor John James
Three decades have passed since John James's time on a top soap opera and drama of the '80s. Here's what he's been up to since then.
Following his time on Dynasty, James hit pause on his career for several years. He acted in a 1992 TV movie but appears to have focused on family life in the '90s. James married model Denise Coward in 1989, and together they welcomed two children, Laura (b. 1990) and Philip (b. 1992).
James began to take on the occasional TV role in the late '90s and early 2000s, but he revived his career in 2003, returning to soap operas on As the World Turns, as "Rick Decker." A few years later, he added All My Children to his résumé, playing "Jeff Martin" in 32 episodes.
