Gavin Macleod

Gavin is another American entertainer who has enjoyed longevity in the entertainment industry, with a career that has spanned over six decades. He is also a ship’s ambassador, a Christian activist, and an author. His acting career began in 1957, and he later appeared in The Sword of Ali Baba. With that said, we can agree that his most prominent role was as the ship captain Merrill Stubing in ABC’s The Love Boat. Gavin is also in the movies, A Man Called Gannon, The Thousand Plane Raid, Kelly’s Heroes, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Macleod met and married Patti Kendig in 1974, though they parted ways a few years later. There was still a glint of hope for the couple since they remarried three years after and have stayed together ever since.  Hopefully, they continue living in comfort due to the investments they’ve made along the way.
