quite understood his interest in acting, they never discouraged him:
"I love them for allowing a kid to believe in his dreams."His first
major break came when he landed the role of the young Jock Ewing in

Elvis and Me, and by Dream Street, a short-lived "blue collar" series
set in New Jersey. Midkiff's roles have run the gamut from the wife

boy" cop who discovers his partner/best friend is a murderer in
Vigilante Cop, to the heroic time-traveling fugitive retrieval cop in
Time Trax, to the amiable ladies' man and town protector in The
Magnificent Seven. He is also well known for having played the lead
role of Louis Creed in the film version of Stephen King's Pet
