Chris Beetem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chris Beetem (born Christopher Lapinski on August 8, 1969 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a television and occasional film actor perhaps best known for his short-lived contract role as Jordan Sinclair on As the World Turns (March 2004 to January 2005). He may also be remembered for his role as Lt. Gregory Vukovic JAG; he was brought on the show as part an effort to avoid cancellation, but JAG was cancelled in 2005. In the fall of 2006 it was announced that Beetem had signed a contract with One Life to Live to play the character of Tate Harmon, to debut in early 2007.

Beetem was also a temporary replacement for the character Nikolas Cassadine on General Hospital in 2005. He made his film debut as Sgt. James "Casey" Joyce in Black Hawk Down and followed that up with the 2005 film, A Perfect Match.
