Parker Stevenson (born Richard Stevenson Parker on June 4, 1952) is an American television and film actor.
His first notable screen appearance was a starring role in the 1972 movie A Separate Peace. After graduating from college, he moved to Hollywood, where he landed a role opposite Sam Elliott in the film Lifeguard.
Stevenson became well-known from starring with teen heartthrob Shaun Cassidy in the The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries series, which ran 1977–79 on ABC-TV. In 1983 he co-starred in the hit movie Stroker Ace as Burt Reynolds's brash race-car driving arch-nemesis Aubrey James. In 1986, Stevenson starred as Billy Hazard in the TV miniseries North and South. He co-starred with his then wife Kirstie Alley, who portrayed his sister, Virgilia Hazard. He then starred on the short-lived TV series Probe in 1988. He was part of the original cast of Baywatch in the 1989 season, returning for the syndicated 1997 and 1998 seasons. He also had a recurring role as a computer tycoon on Melrose Place during the second season. In 1998 he starred in the film Legion.
He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended Rye Country Day School in Rye, New York. He graduated from Brooks School in North Andover, MA in 1971; he graduated from Princeton University in 1976 and then moved to Hollywood.
On December 22, 1983, Stevenson married actress Kirstie Alley. Alley experienced a miscarriage and later a stillbirth. After this they adopted two children, William True (born September 28, 1992) and Lillie Price (born June 15, 1994). Memorably, when Alley won an Emmy Award in 1991, she thanked Stevenson in her acceptance speech for giving her "the big one".
The two divorced in 1997. According to media reports, Stevenson walked away from the marriage with a US$6,000,000 settlement, after asking for $75,000 per month in alimony. The couple share joint custody of their two children.
