John Callahan (born
December 23,
1953 in
Brooklyn, New York) is an
American actor, best known for his work as Edmund Grey on the popular
soap opera All My Children.
While his work on soaps stretches back over twenty years (including stints on
Falcon Crest and
Santa Barbara), it is the role of Edmund that has brought him the most fame and acclaim. He played on
All My Children from
1992 to
2005, when the character of Edmund was somewhat controversially killed off.
Along with former co-star
Esta TerBlanche, he played his
All My Children role in an
episode of the sitcom
Spin City in 1997 called
My Life is a Soap Opera.
Callahan experienced an on-set romance with AMC co-star
Eva LaRue Callahan, who also played Edmund's wife on the show, Dr. Maria Santos Grey. The two co-hosted both the
Miss America pageant and
Lifetime's
Weddings of a Lifetime and married on November 30, 1996 on the island of
Lanai in
Hawaii. They have a daughter, Kaya. It was the second marriage for both, and they have since divorced. The couple lived in
La Quinta, California and commuted each week to
New York City where the show was taped.
Callahan appeared on the 1990 revival of the television
game show To Tell the Truth as a celebrity panelist.
