Fifth Time's The Charm

Sometimes, when you suck at something, you should just stop.

Actor Lorenzo Lamas (53) wed girlfriend Shawna Craig (24) at the Casa Dorada Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where three decade age differences are a blessing! I'm sure her parents were proud.

Lamas proposed to Craig over dinner at Mr. Chow's in Beverly Hills in February after only three months of dating, which is how every girl hopes she'll have the question popped. Craig, who is a model, is just one year younger than Lamas' oldest daughter Shayne Lamas, one of six in Lorenzo's brood. Shayne is also married and pregnant with her first child, because there's no time to waste if you're a Lamas for squeezing out kids and running through nuptials.

Lorenzo was most recently married to former playmate and living sex doll current plastic surgery disaster Shauna Sand.

And if you're wondering how Lamas can afford a fleet of ex-wives and children, it's his non-stop acting. Sure he may have been on television with Falcon Crest and Renegade, but he's averaged two films a year for the past twenty years. Maybe you've seen or heard of some of these gems:

• the amazing trilogy of Snake Eater, Snake Eater II: The Drug Buster, and Snake Eater III: His Law

• a couple of films that sound so macho they're dangerously close to gay porn - Gladiator Cop, Midnight Man, Body Rock, and Rapid Exchange

• movies that clearly were made only to air on the Sci-Fi channel - Raptor Island, Succubus: Hell Bent, Dark Waters, and Sci-Fighter

• internationally bad films like Latin Dragon, Mexican Gold, and Chinaman's Chance

• and a few that just sound horrible by the title - The Circuit 2: The Final Punch, Motocross Kids, and CIA II: Target Alexa

And he's the only actor to have worked with Phyllis Diller and Gary Busey in the same film (not counting Cody the Chimp)!

Give the guy his due. He had the honour of having a major role in The Bold and the Beautiful.You mentioned the movie Body Rock but ignored the sonf he sang in it which cracked the Billboard 100! Although he was also nominated for Worst Actor at the Golden Raspberry Awards for his performance in it...
Why, only a couple of years ago he starred in the acclaimed Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus in which his character had to kill BOTH; the shark alone managed to attack an aeroplane, for God' sake, which has been described online as "the epitome of monster awesome." Unfortunately Lamas won't be in the sequel- Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus.

he is almost a cottage industry onto himself, bordering on parody with the B-movies and the string of young playthings, but God love him for it...

What really marks him out for greatness is that his wives get hotter and hotter (and younger). he's been married so many times that he's had to change his name!
The current wife's name is practically the same as the last one and has kept the Lamas surname (how's that for respect). As a result, he now goes by the name Lorenzo Lamas-Craig,just so his wives wouldn't get confused.
