COMMENTS FROM THE PANEL:
Alan Carter: Who ever thought a pimp could be sexy? Anthony brought a strangely-endearing, sometimes scary, often confounding role as a pimp and made him...likable. To find yourself rooting for the bad guy...as millions did, speaks to the complexity of what he did on screen.
Patrick Erwin: An intense, authentic performer who brought the unforgettable Marco Dane to vivid life on both OLTL and GH.

Loved the adventures of Marco Dane, Mario Corelli and Karen Wolek. Gerry Anthony was a wonderful actor.
I would have placed Anthony much higher. One of the two best actors (Michael Zaslow) I ever saw on OLTL. There's never been another successful Marco-type character on a soap.
OLTL was my first soap. Marco Dane, Karen Wolek, Vicky/Nicky Joe Reily, Brad & Jenny.......he was part of a golden era. Gerald Anthony made a memorable character.
