Kenny Rogers' first role dates back to 1973, and he's kept a steady stream of acting gigs ever since. He played a race car driver in the 1982 comedy "Six Pack", and had the title roles in his longtime made-for-TV movie series, “Kenny Rogers as the Gambler,” as well as the "MacShayne" TV flicks. In between, Rogers has continued to work on his music and even found time to start up the chicken food chain Kenny Rogers Roasters.
