Michael Nader (born February 19, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American actor of Lebanese descent, best known for his role as Farnsworth "Dex" Dexter on the nighttime soap Dynasty, a role he played from 1983 to 1989.
Nader returned to soap operas, playing Dimitri Marick on All My Children from 1991 to 1999 and from 2000 to 2001. He was fired from the series when he was arrested for drug possession. Speculation abounded that the actor, who completed rehab, was HIV positive, which he vehemently denied. (SID)
He is the nephew of actor George Nader.
Nader began his acting career as extra/surf stunt double in Gidget and the Beach Party films. The July 2006 issue of Vanity Fair (magazine) (Hillary Swank cover) had an article on Nader, the "real" Gidget and the original surfers of Malibu circa 1957-1960.
