Biography |
Tyler Christopher is an American actor, best known for his
role as Nikolas Cassadine on the ABC daytime drama General
Hospital, a character which he originated in 1996 and has
played off and on ever since. He was nominated for Daytime
Emmys for the role in 1998, 2005, and 2006. He is sometimes
credited as Tyler Baker. He also played Connor Bishop on the
show from September 2004 to January 2005.
Christopher grew up in Delaware, Ohio, the youngest of four
children. He is of Native American heritage, as his mother
Jimi-Ann is Choctaw and his father Jimmy Baker is Seneca.
His original goal was to be a professional athlete, but his
physically small size made this difficult. He attended Ohio
Wesleyan University for two years and then moved to Los
Angeles.
In the mid-1990s, Christopher was engaged to General
Hospital co-star Vanessa Marcil. From 2002 to 2004 he was
married to Eva Longoria, while she was working on the The
Young and the Restless. From 2004 to 2006, he dated his
General Hospital co-star and deceased on-screen fiance
Natalia Livingston, and in November 2006, Christopher
announced his engagement to Brienne Pedigo, a sports
reporter from Indiana.
He has two actor cousins, Derk Cheetwood and Drew Cheetwood,
who play Max Giambetti and Milo Giambetti on General
Hospital. Christopher also shared and was rehabbing a house
with Derk, until Derk got married. |
