Anthony Herrera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anthony Herrera (born January 19, 1944 in Wiggins, Mississippi) is an American actor.

Among roles in various movies, he is most known for his role as James Stenbeck on the soap opera As the World Turns, a role he has been playing from 1980 to 1984, from 1986 to 1989, in 1996, from 1997 to 1999, in 2001 and since 2002. Herrera's use as a plot device has been criticized as of late, as it seems that if anything mysterious or bad happens in Oakdale, more likely than not, James Stenbeck did it, necessitating the return of Herrera and his character.

James has been presumed dead three times. James committed several crimes and has been in prison quite a few times, only to return and wreak havoc on the town.

Herrera also played Mark Galloway in 1974 and 1975 on the same show. From 1976 to 1977, he played Jack Curtis, a college professor who cheated on his wife, driving her to obesity, on The Young and the Restless.

He has been in remission since 1997 from Mantle Cell Lymphoma, normally an extremely lethal form of cancer.
