Reckell’s aim of performing on stage came true, appearing in various productions like “The Fantasticks”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”, “Love Letters” and “Guys and Dolls” to name a few.

Though Reckell only stayed in the show for two seasons, it opened up a new door in his career.

Reckell has also been appearing in various other TV shows, including “Baywatch”, “Women of the House” and “Sheena” to name a few. He has also starred in movies including “Broken Bridges” and “Street Dreams”. His various projects have also helped increase his wealth.
In terms of his personal life, Reckell was married to Dale Kristien in 1987, but the union ended in divorce in 1991. In 1998 he tied the knot once again, this time to singer Kelly Moneymaker, and the two are still together with daughter Loden Sloan.
