Mark Derwin/George Juergens

Actor
Mark Derwin starred on "The Bonnie Hunt Show" and has guested on such TV series as "For Your Love," "Veronica's Closet," "Cybill," "Party of Five," and "Touched by an Angel." His feature films include "The Minus Man," "Evil Obsession," and "Ballad of the Nightingale" with Virginia Madsen. But he's known best for creating the role of Ben Davidson on "One Life to Live." His other daytime TV credits include playing Adrian Hunter on "The Young and the Restless" (1989-90) and A.C. Mallet on "Guiding Light" (1990-93); that role nabbed him the 1993 Soap Opera Digest Award for Leading Man and a Daytime Emmy nomination for Lead Actor in 1992. Mark moved to California after he left "Guiding Light," and he still lives in L.A.

He will be appearing alongside Ernie Hudson (Dr. Ken Fields) in the 2008 film "Balancing the Books" (not yet rated).

Character
George may not be the perfect role model for husbands everywhere, but there's no question that he loves his daughters, Amy and Ashley. Even so, he finds himself torn between family responsibilities and some pretty bad decisions. Things get a little sketchier when we realize just who he's been making those bad decisions with -- none other than feisty Adrian Lee's mom, Cindy. And, though George breaks off the affair in order to save his marriage, his wife, Anne, may or may not be so willing to work things out again. Will George help the family come together to help Amy through what looks like a difficult year?
