John has younger twin brothers, Bruce and Neal, while his older sister Carol died in 1970 due to epileptic seizures as the age of 17. He went to Kingswood-Oxford School in West Hartford, Connecticut, and later studied at Providence College, from where he graduated in 1976 with BA degree in Theatre.

O’Hurley had his television debut in the TV series “General Hospital” in 1963 in a minor role, but he waited for ten more years before appearing in “The Young and the Restless”, and later in “Loving” in 1983. In 1988, O’Hurley played Remar in the mini-series called “Something Is Out There”, and in 1989 he was cast in “Billy the Kid” starring Val Kilmer. From 1990 to 1991, John played Stephen Slade in 75 episodes of “Santa Barbara”, which only increased his net worth, before he had parts in “White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd” (1991) and “Night Eyes II” (1991).

In 1992, O’Hurley appeared in “Mirror Images”, “Seduction: Three Tales from the ‘Inner Sanctum’”, and in two episodes of “Baywatch”. In the mid-90’s, John played in TV series such as “Valley of the Dolls” (1994), “A Whole New Ballgame” (1995), “Over the Top” (1997), and “Seinfeld” (1995-1998). By the end of the 1990s, he also had roles in TV movies “The Killing Secret” (1997), “Murder Live!” (1997), “Blood on Her Hands” (1998), and “Tempting Fate” (1998). O’Hurley also acted in “Life of the Party: The Pamela Harriman Story” (1998), “Three Secrets” (1998), and “Love Stinks” (1999) starring French Stewart.

With the new millennium, O’Hurley`s career began to decline, and he mainly appeared in B-production movies such as “Firetrap” (2001), “Race to Space” (2001), “Buying the Cow” (2002), “Knuckle Sandwich” (2004), and “An American Carol” (2008).

Most recently, he played in “Christian Mingle” (2014), “Devious Maids” (2015), “Swing Away” (2016), and “A Remarkable Life” (2016), which also increased his net worth.

John O’Hurley actually participated in the first season of the television show “Dancing with the Stars” in 2005; he and his partner Charlotte Jørgensen made it to the finals where they lost to opera star Kelly Monaco. However, after fans alleged that Monaco’s victory was a set-up, O’Hurley and Jørgensen were re-instated and won, earning $126,000, adding a significant amount to his net worth.

Regarding his personal life, John O’Hurley was married to Eva LaRue from 1992 to 1994, and later married Lisa Mesloh in August 2014, with whom he has a son. O’Hurley received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in May 2011.
