He's played Hamlet, MacBeth and directed and starred in Taming of the Shrew,
which should tell you about Lane Davies aspirations as an actor are away from
his role of Mason Capwell on Santa Barbara.
The native of Dalton, Georgia first came to daytime prominence as Dr. Evan
Wyland on Days of Our Lives from 1981-82, took two years off from the
daytime grind and then created the role of Mason when Santa Barbara went on
the air in July of 1984. In between he did guest shots on Dallas and C.H.I.P.S.
Prior to Days of Our Lives, Lane appeared in the television movie The
Suicide's Wife with Angie Dickinson in 1977 and the 1978 motion picture The
Magic of Lassie with James Stewart. Just before Days of Our Lives, Lane had
his introduction to daytime in a small role on the Young and the Restless.
If you've wondered why you haven't seen or read so much about Lane Davies
in your favorite newspaper or magazine, it could be because he prefers to keep
a very low publicity profile and rarely, if ever, grants interviews. In the two years
Soap Set has been in existence, all of our efforts to get him to talk to us or
pose for pictures have been to no avail. It isn't that Lane isn't nice...In fact, he's
very friendly when you see him in the halls of NBC or at a Santa Barbara
party...we think he just doesn't want to call attention to his work on soaps, he'd
rather be remembered for the Shakespeare he does!
