Joe Lando is an American actor who has a net worth of $2 million. Joe Lando is best known for starring as Byron Sully on the television series "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," from 1993 to 1998. He appeared in 143 of the show's 149 episodes.

Born on December 9, 1961, in Prairie View, Illinois, Lando began his career far from the spotlight, working as a cook in Hollywood while pursuing acting opportunities. His break into television came when he landed the role of Jake Harrison on the soap opera "One Life to Live" in 1990. This role helped establish his presence in the television industry and led to his most iconic role.

In 1993, Lando was cast as Byron Sully in "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman." The series ran for six successful seasons until 1998, with Lando appearing in nearly every episode. His chemistry with lead actress Jane Seymour was a significant factor in the show's success, and their on-screen romance became one of television's most beloved relationships of the 1990s.
Following "Dr. Quinn," Lando continued to work steadily in television, appearing in numerous TV movies and series. He had recurring roles in shows such as "Higher Ground" and "The Secret Circle," and starred in several Hallmark Channel productions. He also reunited with Jane Seymour for two "Dr. Quinn" television movies that continued the series' story.
