Why Paradise Actor Gerald McRaney Still Won't Retire at 77 — Unlike His Wife Delta Burke: 'Just Can’t Do It'


The longtime TV star Gerald McRaney says he's busier than ever, and that suits him just fine — as long as he has enough downtime to spend with the love of his life, Delta Burke.

He credits being cast in Deadwood in 2005 with his career resurgence, and in the last 20 years has starred on This is Us, House of Cards, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Longmire, among others. "The first time we met was at the publicist's guild luncheon where we were both presenting awards, and I was sort of fascinated by her from the beginning, but we didn't exchange phone numbers," McRaney says of their first meeting. "Our neighbors in Florida don't care about celebrity," he says, noting he spends his downtime hunting, fishing, hiking and exploring.
