Pine Valley's New Bad Boy
Watch out Pine Valley: A new villain is in town! Veteran actor David Rasche joined the cast of All My Children on Friday, February 29 as Tad Martin's uncle, Rob Gardner. Those familiar with AMC history will recognize the infamous last name. Rob's brother, Ray Gardner, was Tad's biological father and evil to the core. Before Ray died, his many sins included abandoning Tad at age eight, raping Ruth Martin (Tad's adoptive mother) and trying to blow up the Martin family home!
Rob continues the family tradition. He is intimately connected with the mystery surrounding Jesse's "death" twenty years ago.
David Rasche's career spans film, television and the stage. He is perhaps best known for the title role in the cult 80s TV show, Sledge Hammer. Movie credits include The Sentinel, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, United 93, An Unmarried Woman and Flags of our Fathers. Rasche was a member of Chicago's famous Second City improvisation troupe. This is not the actor's first foray into daytime. In 1981, he played the role of Wes Leonard on the ABC Daytime drama Ryan's Hope.
