Michael Easton was
born in Long Beach, CA, and raised in both the United States and
Ireland, his parents' native country. After writing poetry
inspired by such authors as Charles Bukowski and Raymond Carver
during high school, Easton went on to college with a double
major in English and History. Before graduating, Easton took a
break so he could travel throughout Europe. While abroad, he
compiled all his writings for the book he titled Drift.
When he returned to the States, Easton completed his education
at UCLA. There he studied writing and directing. He soon took up
acting and was cast in Coldfire in 1990. He went on to
appear in the films The Art of Dying and The Killing
Zone.
Easton began his soap career in the role of Tanner Scofield on
DAYS OF OUR LIVES, which he played from 1991-92. Soon after
making People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People list in
1992, he quit acting to care for his mother. However, he
returned to the screen in 1994. His television credits include
VR5, the Judith Krantz miniseries DAZZLE and a guest-starring
role on DIAGNOSIS MURDER. He also wrote, produced and edited the
award-winning independent film Daedalus is Dead, which
was sold to the Sundance channel in 2000. The following years
brought continued success in film both in front of and behind
the camera before he made his return to daytime television in
the role of twins Caleb and Michael Morley on PORT CHARLES in
2001. He stayed with the show until its cancellation in October
2003.
Easton currently plays Llanview police detective John McBain,
the character he originated in 2003. He has also just signed on
to write the first installment of The Tales from the Green
Woman series for DC/Vertigo with famed novelist Peter
Straub. |
