Bio

Justin Deas (Buzz, GL)

Considered one of daytime's finest actors (if six Emmy wins are any indication), as well one of the most press shy, Justin Deas has carved a notable career in the medium. He was born in Connellsville, PA, but due to his father's travels, lived in such diverse places as Mexico City and Tehran, Iran. He got his undergraduate degree at The College of William and Mary and then studied drama under John Houseman at Juilliard. MORE
