McKenna Trivia:

Despite many sources we've seen on the web, Eric Close's acting debut was not on the McKenna TV show. Among other earlier roles, he appeared on 22 episodes of the daytime drama, "Santa Barbara". He also appeared on episodes of "Major Dad" and "MacGyver" before appearing on McKenna.

Those early acting jobs lead to quite an impressive career for Eric Close. Since his role on the McKenna TV Show, he's had starring roles on "Dark Skies", "Now and Again", "The Magnificent Seven", and "Without A Trace"!

Brick McKenna had been estranged from his family who owned "McKenna Wilderness Outfitters", located in Bend, Oregon. When his brother died in an accident the business began to fail so Brick returned home to take up his brother's duties in running the business.

Chad Everett starred on "The Dakotas" and "Medical Center TV Show" before starring on McKenna. Five years after McKenna he starred again on the "Manhattan, AZ TV Show".
