The 411
Born in Hollywood and raised in Bethesda, Md., Ted King started acting in college and received his undergraduate degree from The University of California (Santa Barbara). He later studied film direction at the Tisch School of Arts at NYU and has worked in film editing as well as acting. King began his daytime career as Danny Roberts on LOVING and later THE CITY and then came to GENERAL HOSPITAL in 2002. After his character was killed off the first time, the show had a surprise for King and the fans — they were bringing him back on as Luis Alcazar's brother, Lorenzo. Adding to a list a daytime dramas, independent films and feature films, King has also had guest-starring roles on many prime-time shows, including SEX AND THE CITY, FRASIER, LAW AND ORDER: SVU and JAG.
He is also heavily involved in theater and is credited with co-founding the Portal Theater Company, an Off-Off Broadway repertory company.
Et Cetera
— His full name is Theodore William King. In the earlier days of his career, while he was on LOVING/THE CITY, he went by the name T.W. King because there was another actor registered with the actors union under the name Ted King. Years later when the name became available, King was able to use Ted King.
— Favorite television show is JEOPARDY!
— Favorite actor is Marlon Brando
— During his childhood he never lived anyplace for more than a five-year stretch.

Memorable Quotes
"The only way I could be a doctor plus a rock musician plus a stockbroker and everything else was through acting." — Soap Opera Weekly, 3/26/96
"If people watch, you'll get big ratings, and if they don't, then you go find a new job. Try not to take it too personally. That's the hard part." — on the acting business, Weekly, 11/19/02
"I've admired Maurice's work for a long time, since I was on THE CITY, and so I was looking forward to working with him. Then when it actually came time to work together, it was like stepping into a boxing ring: You're excited, you're thrilled to be working with this icon but at the same time, your characters are trying to outmaneuver each other. I think that shows on-screen."— Weekly, 4/20/04
