He was the host of his own SOAPNet show, "1 Day With", in which he spends a day with another soap star. He has spent a day with several of his "General Hospital" pals such as Tamara Braun, Alicia Leigh Willis, Ingo Rademacher, Anthony Geary, Scott Clifton, Rick Hearst, and Tyler Christopher, as well as actors from other soaps. He also narrated the History Channel series "Battle 360". He also played the character of Sam Hutchins on "As the World Turns" for several months in late 2007 and early 2008.
