Joseph Gallison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Gallison (born March 9, 1935) is an American actor who worked steadily in television soap operas for twenty-seven years. He is probably best known for his role as Dr. Neil Curtis on Days of Our Lives (1974-1991).
Gallison is also well known for playing the character of William (Bill) Matthews, Jr., on Another World (1964-1969). Other soap roles have included Tom Edwards on One Life to Live (1969-1971) and Steven Cord on Return to Peyton Place (1972-1974). He is also heard in the You're Under Arrest series, dubbing the voice of Inspector Tokuno.
Gallison was one of the few actors in Days of Our Lives to be fired without an explanation as to what happened to the character. In his final scene, he told his love interest that he had to go see some patients, and that he would be back soon. He never returned and his absence was never explained.
