Emmy Award-winning Roger Howarth joined One Life to Live in December 1992, turning what was a day player role into a compelling, long-term character. As a result, he was awarded the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor in 1994, and received another nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in 1995. Soap Opera Digest named him Outstanding Younger Leading Actor in 1995.
Following one semester at George Washington University, Roger decided to pursue acting, his childhood dream. He enrolled at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center and performed at prestigious regional theater centers, such as Williamstown (Massachusetts), Stagetown (Springfield, MA), and the Cleveland Playhouse. In addition, he has appeared in a New York Shakespeare Festival production of Macbeth, and as Probst in the WPA's The White Rose. Roger was selected through a nationwide talent search and subsequently won roles on Loving and Guiding Light.
Roger currently resides in Manhattan.
