Kevin Bernhardt

He landed a coveted contract role on General Hospital, and was the center of attention in the 'Laurelton Murders' storyline, and with it General Hospital led the ratings for two years. Bernhardt took acting seriously enough to study in the small master class taught by Stella Adler, and he continued to work steadily as an actor for several years; in TV with another contract role as a priest on Dynasty, as well as several mostly 'bad-guy' leads in films such as Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth. But once he saw his first screenplay produced – he devoted his undivided attention to writing.
