David Garrison on Married...With Children

David Garrison played Steve Rhoades, the first husband of Marcy D'Arcy (Amanda Bearse). Marcy is a bit of a dominant woman (to put it lightly) and ruled her rather put upon husband. Garrison appeared quite regularly through the first four seasons of the show.

Steve left Marcy to persue a career in forestry--as a ranger at Yosemite. Garrison left the show to persue his theatre career.

Some Quotes

Steve: " So, I guess you guys have a big evening planned, huh?"
Peg: " Oh, pretty much. I'll fix dinner. We'll exchange presents. Then he'll watch midget wrestling."
Steve: " Oh, what time does it come on?"
Marcy: " Steve, we hate wrestling!"
Steve: " I know. I just wanted to know how late midgets got to stay up."
