Robert Gentry (actor) (born September 29, 1940, in New York City) is known for his work on several daytime soap operas. He played the role of Ed Bauer on Guiding Light on two different occasions, first from 1966 to 1969, then returning nearly thirty years later to play the role on a recurring basis from 1997 to 1998. He initially left the role to appear on a new ABC soap opera, The Best of Everything.
He played two different characters on Another World. From 1979 to 1981, he played the character of Philip Lyons, then returned in 1997-98 to play the role of Detective Craig Morris.
His longest tenure, however, was on All My Children, where he played the part of rapist Ross Chandler for five years (1985-1990). He also played the part of Giles on One Life to Live and Richard Hunt on Days of Our Lives from 1994 to 1995, as well as several other shorter roles on other serials.
He has also turned up periodically as a guest on a number of primetime series.
