In November 2006, Bradford Anderson joined the cast of GENERAL HOSPITAL as the quirky Damien Spinelli. Born and raised in Meredith, New Hampshire, Anderson’s mother encouraged both he and his sister, Jennifer, to get involved in theater. Anderson’s first role was at the age of 6 as Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol as a part of a professional theater company. In 1998, Anderson graduated from high school and went on to attend the Tisch School of Performing Arts at New York University. Following his graduation from NYU, Anderson joined The Philadelphia Theater Company, where he won the prestigious Philly Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Billy in Edward Albee’s The Goat …Or Who Is Sylvia? opposite John Glover. He went on to reprise the role at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. His musical experience includes playing the lead role of Valentine in the Goodspeed Opera House’s revival of Babes In Arms and Arpad in She Loves Me. Upon moving to California in 2005, Anderson landed his first TV job within weeks and has happily called himself a working actor ever since. His official Web site is http://bradford-anderson.com/.
