Dr. Micah DeAngelis,

One of four children, Thaao Penghlis was born and raised
in Sydney, Australia to Greek immigrant parents. He originally had no
intention of entering show business and in fact planned to be an
archaeologist, but instead embarked on a career in diplomacy, which
carried him to the United Nations in New York. It was during his time
there that he met acting coach and director Milton Katselas, who
encouraged him to pursue a career in drama. Thaao subsequently made his
stage debut in the play Jockeys.
Thaao is best known for his portrayal of Tony DiMera on Days
of Our Lives, a role for which he received an Emmy nomination. He also
played Victor Cassadine on General Hospital. Among his other
television credits are the updated Mission Impossible, the
miniseries Emma: Queen of the South Seas and the TV movies Sadat,
Under Siege and Memories of Midnight. His TV guest-starring
credits include Kojak, Cannon, Tenspeed and Brown Shoe, Hart to Hart,
Nero Wolfe and Magnum, P.I.
His film credits include Les Patterson Saves the World and
Altered States. He also appeared on the stage in The Lion in
Winter, The Balcony and No Exit.
Thaao's birthdate is December 15, 1945.
