About the actors
Steve Burton:
Versatile actor Steve Burton first joined the cast of General Hospital in 1990 in the role of Jason Quartermaine. A near-fatal accident caused Jason to lose his memory and thus was born Jason Morgan, who would become a leader of organized crime in Port Charles. "The transition from Jason Quartermaine to Jason Morgan has been an incredible experience as an actor, and for that I am grateful," reflects Burton, who received his first Daytime Emmy® in May 1998 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. In 2005, he received his first Emmy® nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor. He also received an award for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the nationally televised Soap Opera Awards in February 1998.
Born in Indianapolis, IN, he was raised in the Midwest and attended several different high schools in the nation's heartland before moving with his father to California. Before graduating from Beverly Hills High school -- "a world apart from the environment I was accustomed to," Mr. Burton emphasizes -- he studied drama and was a member of the school's acclaimed Theatre 40.
A very successful career in commercials led to a three-year run on the popular syndicated comedy series, Out of This World, in which he played the role of Chris Fuller. He made his daytime drama debut in the recurring role of Harris Michaels on Days of Our Lives
A gifted and enthusiastic athlete, Burton enjoys virtually every sport, but prefers surfing above them all. He and his wife, Sheree, are the parents of two children. The family lives in the Los Angeles area.

On the East Coast, he appeared on such stages as the Goodspeed Opera House, Paper Mill Playhouse, Arena Stage and Philadelphia Theater Company -- where he was nominated for a Barrymore Award for his role as Billy in Edward Albee's The Goat, opposite John Glover.
