Jason Morgan on the ABC Television Network's "General Hospital"

Versatile actor Steve Burton plays Jason Morgan, the youngest son of Dr. Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon), on "General Hospital." Although Jason is the "love child" of the late Susan Moore, he was accepted into the fold as an infant by Dr. Quartermaine's forgiving wife, Monica (Leslie Charleson), and raised as one of the family. Like his older half-brother AJ, Jason attended boarding school for his primary education before returning to Port Charles. But that's where the familial similarities end. "Jason has always been very independent and self-reliant," explains Mr. Burton about his character. "He never wanted an easy ride, or something that he didn't work for."

Mr. Burton received his first Emmy nomination in May, 1997, as Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series.

Steve Burton's background is quite unlike that of Jason Morgan. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Mr. Burton was raised in the Midwest and attended several different high schools in the nation's heartland before moving with his father to California. Before graduating from Beverly Hills High school, "a world apart from the environment I was accustomed to," he emphasizes, Mr. Burton studied drama and was a member of the school's acclaimed Theatre 40.

A very successful career in commercials led to a three-year run on the popular syndicated comedy series, "Out of This World," playing the role of Chris Fuller. Mr. Burton made his daytime drama debut in the recurring role of Harris Michaels on "Days of Our Lives."

A gifted and enthusiastic athlete, Mr. Burton enjoys and excels at virtually every sport, but prefers surfing above them all. Mr. Burton is single and makes his home in Los Angeles.
