Early Life, Parents, Siblings, and Education

Born to Jean and Thomas Midkiff, he is the second of eight children, with a sister and six brothers. The world of business intrigued him since he was very young, and throughout his early years. The entertainment business was waiting for him, arms spread, and it was just a matter of time before he embraced it, and joined it. Most certainly, the award that he won in High School, was a big enough motivation for him, to continue his passion and desires. It was not long before his acting skills were recognized, as Dale played Jack in the “Jack and Beanstalk” production, at a very young age, at a local children’s theater.  After that, his skills became even more obvious, and while in high school, stage productions and performances in the school theater became a part of his everyday life, and brought him a lot of rewards and recognition. He finished high school in 1977, after which he attended Salisbury University in Maryland, where he was a student of Communication Arts, combined with specializations in English and Philosophy.

Career Beginnings

After he graduated, there was no stopping him on his way into the acting world. Thus he moved to New York to pursue those dreams which he had as a little kid. Of course, it was not easy for him in the beginning, so to make a living before he got any film roles, so took a job as a waiter at a local bar, and waited. Fortunately, the waiting game finally was finally over when he got to play the role of Duke in the action drama film “Streetwalkin’” in 1985. The following year, Dale secured the role of Jock Ewing in the television film “Ewing and Dallas: The Early Years” (1986), which proved to be successful, and gave him the opportunity to play the famous Elvis Presley in the four-hour mini-series “Elvis and Me” (1988). By playing the part Gil Eaton, in the television production of “Plymouth” in 1991, he proved his versatility, and throughout the ‘90s enjoyed success, with such roles as Darien Lambert in the TV action-adventure series “Time Trax”, then as Thomas Jameson in “Toothless” (1997), the famous Disney movie, in which he starred next to Kirstie Alley.
