[edit] Daytime television

In June 2003, Gauthier became the tenth actor to play former Lieutenant Governor Kevin Lord Riley Buchanan on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live until November 2006.

As of August 23, 2006 Gauthier has been released from his One Life to Live contract. According to the actor's website, the show indicated that unfavorable feedback from focus groups about the character played a role in their decision. The character of Kevin had been a "good guy" for most of Gauthier's run, but in the last year, had been written with more of a dark edge. Kevin left town for London on November 16, 2006.
