[edit] Career
Easton has made appearances on television shows such as Ally McBeal and The Practice. He had a recurring role on the science fiction television series Mutant X. He played the dual lead role in the 1996 thriller series Two, as well as starring roles in the sci-fi series VR.5 and Total Recall 2070.
Additionally, Easton has appeared on soap operas, first starting out in the role of Tanner Scofield on NBC's Days of our Lives from 1989 to 1992. He went on to a two-year stint as vampire Caleb Morley on Port Charles from 2001 until its cancellation in 2003. Easton currently portrays John McBain on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live, a role he has played since the creation of the character in October 2003. On September 6th 2011, it was announced that Easton had signed a contract with Prospect Park to follow One Life to Live in the online series.However, due to funding issues, they have now abandoned those plans (November 23, 2011). Thus, the last day the series will be seen is on January 13, 2012 on ABC.[1]
A collection of Easton's poetry was published under the title Eighteen Straight Whiskeys. He is the author of the Soul Stealer series of graphic novels, drawn by Christopher Shy, as well as several currently unproduced screenplays. He collaborated with author Peter Straub on the graphic novel The Green Woman, which featured art by John Bolton and was published by Vertigo Comics in 2010. Easton and Straub met and became friends after the latter, a fan of daytime soap-operas, visited the set of One Life to Live.[2]
