A dark and handsome 1980s soap hunk who turned to playing hugely-muscled TV comic strip heroes in the 1990s.

Lived in New York City to study acting following college and earned his first daytime claim to fame playing Dr. Kelly Nelson on "The Guiding Light" in 1980.

Won two consecutive daytime Emmy awards for his soap work -- the first for "As the World Turns" and the second for "Santa Barbara."
