Need Help ID-ing soap actor from the past

Featured Replies

  • Member

Hi guys,

 

I belong to a classic tv FB group and there's a guy from the Library of Congress there who puts out all these old unidentified photos, asking us if we can help identify any of the people...can be obscure movie stars, newsmen, soap actors, etc., maybe even just wannabes.  Anyway, I know this guy was on soaps because he looks familiar but I can't place him. Anybody know who this is?

Looks Christopher Holder. He was on AMC, AW, and Y&R in the 1980s.

Yeah, it's him.

 

Whatever happened to him?  He's disappeared completely.

He's done some movies lately and done directing and some writing...he is a recent pic of him.

Yes!!! I think I saw him on AMC. That's where I knew him from. You guys are the best! 

BTW, if you're into this sort of thing and want to try to help identify some old pictures of all sorts of people, here's a link to the LOC site. Every so often they post a series of unidentified photos. My (ahem) background in soap viewing got Larkin Malloy & Sharon Gabet, and he just sent me an email that included a 1980s pic of Lisa Trusel (Melissa Anderson, DOOL). :P

Chris Hoider was also Mark on EON. His character kidnapped Raven while Sharon Gabet was pregnant and had to be off camera. Mark Hamilton(Aldrich) , I think. James Douglas (Grant, ATWT among otheras)  portrayed his father, Desmond.

That's funny that you said this. I'm subscribed to MrEdge80's youtube channel. I haven't yet gotten around to starting my rewatching of EON from his youtube starting point but I've seen when he adds new videos and there are a couple with the image of Holder and Gabet that he added about a month ago right there on my screen, lol.
