Roscoe Born is famous for having played in the most soap operas (male star). I'm a fan. Anyone want to say something nice about him as an actor? He's supposed to be returning soon to one of the soaps he left behind.

Aha! On the OLTL thread I surmised Jessica's stalker would be ... Mitch, whom Roscoe Born played so wonderfully on two separate OLTL storylines. Why did I pick him? Storywise, he's the only former villain who's the right age to be Rex's insane homicidal Dad.
Yes, he is (? certainly WAS) one of the handsomest actors to ever appear on soaps. I'm sure his shower scenes on Ryans Hope made that show's ratings soar. His appearances and OLTL and AMC were good stories and he's simply a brilliant actor.
OLTL has not yet revealed the stalker because they're still into Vickie and Dorian running competitively for Mayor as well as the climax to the "Cole undercover" storyline.
I can't recollect Mitch's end the last time, after he sealed Star's dad in Victor Lord's vault, I think he was supposedly shot and his body vanished in Llanview River, but would not be at all surprised if he returns to OLTL. Stay tuned. I'm sure, at any rate, he's still a good looking man ... but is he as hunky today as he was 3 decades ago? Time will tell.
My "wet" memories of Roscoe come from Santa Barbara. Nice shower scene with Kelly Capwell (played by Beverly Garland's daughter Carrington Garland). Also there were some beach scenes he had with Eden Capwell Castillo (played by Marcy Walker).
Undeniably one of the sexiest actors on soaps, he generally played villains, semi-reformed villains, or just the general bad boy you wouldn't want your daughter to date. My favorite Roscoe Born role/s are Robert Barr/Quinn Armitage on Santa Barbara. He was so good at being bad, a lot of viewers really wanted him to break up Super Couple Eden Capwell/Cruz Castillo. I was one of those pushing for first love to win.

According to this source http://filmguy76.blogspot.com/2009/09/roscoe-born-has-more-life.html Roscoe Born began taping One Life To Live this week for a November sweeps return.

Born is definitely a daytime icon who continues to work and entertain. My first exposure to him was as Joe Novack on RYAN'S HOPE. He took over the role from the originator Richard Nunez and made it his own. He and Marg Helgenberger were electrifying togethr. I also enjoyed his roles on SANTA BARBARA and THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS and I also noticed that he has recently resurfaced on ONE LIFE TO LIVE as Mitch Laurence, another memorable character. Definitely an actor be reckoned with.
