Wally McCandless

Wally McCandless is a fictional character on Capitol

He was portrayed by Bill Beyers.

Brief Character History
The youngest son of Baxter and Clarissa McCandless, Wally was the black sheep of the family.

From the outset, Wally's biggest problem was an affinity for gambling tables. His addiction often got him into trouble: either the physical kind (from grumpy loan sharks) or the emotional kind (from grumpy girlfriends). Wally's life was further complicated by the attentions of Brenda Clegg, who spent three years trying to snare him, only to jilt him for another guy.

Later in the series, he pursued a singing career, first at Corky's Bar, and eventually as a recording artist. The singing thing ended up being as problematic as his gambling addiction, particularly after he got mixed up with D.J. Phillips, a sleazy record promoter.

In the final weeks of Capitol, Wally reunited with Brenda and looked forward to a successful career.
