Estes first became interested in an acting career while training to be a stunt double. One of his first acting jobs was in the soap opera Days of Our Lives playing Glenn Gallagher (1986–1987). He later gained widespread recognition for his role as Sergeant Chris Lorenzo in Silk Stalkings (1991–1995), half of the "dynamic duo" alongside Mitzi Kapture.
In 1993, Estes had a guest role on the prime time Fox soap opera Melrose Place , playing Sam Towler. Three years later, the producers of the series brought him back but cast him in a different role, that of restaurateur Kyle McBride. Estes played the role from 1996 to the series' cancellation in 1999.
Following Melrose Place, he had guest starring roles on Providence , Suddenly Susan , Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Gilmore Girls . He also performed in theater, and had roles in Same Time, Next Year (2004) and The Lake (2005).
Estes starred in the comedy film I Do, They Don't (previously titled Blended), which premiered on ABC Family in March 2005 and also starred his Melrose Place co-star and then-wife Josie Bissett. [1] He made his return to series television playing Sean Cole in the ABC television crime drama The Evidence .
He completed a recurring role on CSI: Miami as Nick Townsend, the abusive ex-husband of Natalia Boa Vista. In a January 2007 episode, he was murdered by the husband of a killer to cover up her crime.
Estes then portrayed Lieutenant Tom Hogan, Inspector Lindsay Boxer's ex-husband and current boss in the ABC police procedural and legal drama Women's Murder Club .
In May 2008, Estes was cast as Harry Wilson in 90210 on The CW. [2] The series, like Melrose Place before it, is a spin-off from the original 1990s series Beverly Hills, 90210 , marking Estes' third appearance in the franchise.
On January 20, 2010, Estes announced that the second season of 90210 would be his last. "This is my final season on 90210 and I wish the show, cast and crew nothing but the best. I am looking forward to spending time with my kids and exploring other opportunities", Estes said in a statement. [3]
On May 1, 1992, Estes married actress Josie Bissett, another cast member of Melrose Place. In 2005, they separated, with Estes reportedly moving out of their Seattle home at his wife's request. The couple have two children together, son Mason (born 1999/2000) and daughter Maya (born 2002/2003). [4] In January 2006 the couple announced their plans to divorce. [5] [6]
On June 15, 2010, after a few years living together, Estes married teacher and surfer Erin Bolte. [6] [7] [4] As of 2017 [update] , after repeated moves, including return stays, between Santa Monica, Seattle and San Clemente, Estes and his wife had settled in San Clemente with Mason and the child they have together, son Makai (born 2011).
