**Dane Witherspoon** was an American actor renowned for his roles in daytime television soap operas, particularly as Joe Perkins in *Santa Barbara* (1984) and Tyler McCandless in *Capitol* (1985-1986). With a diverse filmography that includes *Chameleons* (1989) and *Seedpeople* (1992), where he portrayed Brad Yates, Witherspoon also appeared in the TV movie *Asteroid* (1997).

Born on December 27, 1957, in Denton, Texas, Dane embodied the traits of a **Manifesting Generator** in Human Design, characterized by his ability to respond to life’s opportunities with energy and enthusiasm. His **Sacral Authority** guided him to make decisions based on his gut feelings, allowing him to navigate his career with a unique blend of creativity and practicality. With a **2/4 Profile**, he was naturally inclined to seek solitude for reflection while simultaneously building strong connections with others, a balance that served him well in both his personal and professional life.

At the young age of 19, he made history as the youngest student accepted by the American Conservatory Theater (ACT) in San Francisco, where he showcased his talent in productions ranging from Shakespeare to Tennessee Williams. It was during the auditions for *Santa Barbara* that he met actress Robin Wright; the couple was married from 1986 to 1988. Dane later had two sons with his second ex-wife, Tracy Shaffer.
