Mason, Cruz and more: what Santa Barbara’s top hotties look like now

For many, Santa Barbara was a career highlight.

Lane Davis is best known for playing Mason Capwell, the eldest son of oil magnate CC Capwell. This character was especially likable to viewers because there was so much to empathize with: unrequited love, memory loss, coma, and even a split personality—the show’s writers were as creative as they could be.

The actor left the series in 1989, but continued to be active in other television projects. Among his famous works are roles in the series “Third Planet from the Sun” and “Clinic”.

The actor is married and has two sons. Today, Lane works more as a theater director and actor and runs the Tennessee Shakespeare Festival.

In the series, the actor played a representative of another wealthy clan, the Lockridges, rivals of the Capwells. He got the role of aspiring journalist Warren Lockridge. Of course, the gray-eyed blonde with a wide American smile immediately charmed the young viewers of the series. John was the first to play the role of Warren and was filmed between 1984 and 1986.

After that, he continued his career in such popular series as “CSI: Miami Crime Scene Investigation”, “Baywatch”, “Quantum Leap”, “Friends” – however, he played episodic roles in all of them.

The actor was married twice, he has two children from his first marriage. In recent years, Nelson has not been filmed.

One of the most colorful characters of the series is the poor but brave and honest policeman Cruz Castillo, played by Ey Martinez. Viewers remembered his love story with Eden Capwell above all. The “princess” and “beggar” quickly became the main couple of the series and resonated with the audience.

Although at the time of the release of “Santa Barbara” Martinez had been filming for more than 10 years, it was this series that became a real breakthrough for him. The role of Cruise brought him worldwide fame and an Emmy Award in 1990. The actor stopped acting in Santa Barbara in 1992.

The actor continues to appear in TV shows to this day, for example we can see him in small roles in Criminal Minds and Castle. Martinez was married twice. But if the first marriage quickly fell apart, then the actor has been together with his second wife Leslie Bryans for more than forty years. They had three children: one son and two daughters.
