Al Corley (born May 22, 1956 in Wichita, Kansas) is an American actor, singer and producer. In the late 1970s, he worked as a doorman at Studio 54. He would later appear in a VH1 Behind the Music special on Studio 54 to recount his experiences. Corley is best known as the first actor to play Steven Carrington on the 1980s soap opera Dynasty. After that, Corley acted in fourteen movies, then produced five. Corley left Dynasty at the end of the second season in 1982 after complaining about Steven's "ever-shifting sexual preferences" and wanting "to do other things." The character was recast in 1983 with Jack Coleman, the change in appearance attributed to plastic surgery after an oil rig explosion. Coleman remained on the show until 1988, but Corley returned to the role of Steven for the 1991 miniseries Dynasty: The Reunion when Coleman was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts. He was also known as a singer in the 1980s. His 1984 New Wave single "Square Rooms," from his debut album of the same name became a number one hit in France (in 1985), also reaching #6 in Switzerland, #12 in Italy (in 1985), #13 in Germany #15 in Austria and #80 in United States. The same year, he released "Cold Dresses," which was also a big hit in France, reaching #5. His second album, Riot of Color was released in 1986, and a third album, Big Picture followed in 1988. Married in 1989 to actress Jessika Cardinahl. They have three children: Sophie Elena, Ruby Cardinahl and Clyde Nikolai Corley. He resides in the Pacific Palisades.

Al Corley, né le 22 mai 1956 à Wichita (Kansas), est un comédien, chanteur et producteur américain. Il a notamment joué dans le feuilleton Dynastie, le rôle de Steven Carrington, le premier rôle dans une série télévisée qui incarne un personnage homosexuel. Il a interprété Steven Carrington dans les deux premières saisons de la série, en 1981-1982 avant d'abandonner son rôle au profit de l'acteur Jack Coleman; il a repris le rôle dans «La Réunion», le téléfilm final de la série Dynastie. Il a aussi enregistré trois albums dans les années 1980, dont l'un d'eux - le premier - se signale par les succès de ses singles (dans la veine synthpop/new wave) Square Rooms, numéro 1 en France et au Top 20 dans de nombreux pays d'Europe continentale et en Amérique du Sud en 1984/1985, et Cold dresses, tube classé au Top 5 en France, également en 1985. Mais ses singles et albums suivants rencontrèrent beaucoup moins de succès; notons tout de même le titre Face to Face en 1986 qui rentra brièvement dans le Top 50 français et dans le Top 75 allemand. Il est également le producteur d'une quinzaine de films, dont Edmond (2005), Derrière le masque (2006), You Kill Me (2007) ou Irish Gangster (2011). Marié en 1989 à l'actrice Jessika Cardinahl, une allemande qu'il a rencontrée en 1984, il divorce en 1999, il a 3 enfants: Sophie Elena en 1986 qui est handicapée de naissance, Ruby Cardinahl en 1989 et Clyde Nikolai Corley en 1992.
