Wallace Kurth
Ned Ashton on General Hospital

Wally Kurth photo Wallace Kurth brings his intense dark eyes and disarming smile to the role of Ned Ashton, a man truly cut from Quartermaine cloth. Clever, ambitious and indefatigable in his business objectives, his inherited business ferocity took a heavy toll when his beloved wife, Lois, left the confines of the family mansion with their baby daughter to keep her from the family's toxicity. Kurth joined the cast of "General Hospital" in 1992.

Daytime viewers know Wally from his four-year run on "Days of Our Lives," where he played Justin Kiriakis. His popularity among "General Hospital" viewers is evidenced by being selected in 1996 as the Most Valuable Player on "General Hospital" by readers of Soap Opera Update magazine, and nominated as Hottest Male Star by Soap Opera Digest magazine, also in 1996.

Born in Billings, Montana, Wally grew up with a strong interest in acting and music. He put this talent to work in musical theater and songwriting. He has appeared on stage in a variety of works that have been produced from regional theater to the Kennedy Center to Broadway, where he starred as the Pirate King in "The Pirates of Penzance." He has also been active in the Los Angeles Equity waiver theatrical arena, where he has worked as an actor and director. He lent his talents to the musical review "Over the Rainbow: The Music of Harold Arlen" and "Sondheim: Part 3," an annual STAGE event that benefits AIDS-related services in Los Angeles.

Wally also writes and performs music with his partner, Christian Taylor. Their two albums, "Kurth & Taylor" and "Half & Half," have received critical praise from Billboard magazine. Kurth and Taylor recently toured the country promoting their latest album, "Nashville."

Wally has also been very busy producing an independent feature film, "Man on Fire," which he wrote and in which he will star.

Wally Kurth and his "General Hospital" co-star Rena Sofer were married on March 31, 1996 in Big Sky, Montana. The couple live in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles with their daughter, Rosabel, and Wally's daughter, Meghann. He spends many weekends each year perfroming music at charity functions to raise money for various children's charities. PERSONAL INFORMATION
