Biography

Following in the footsteps of good-looking Australians on General Hospital -- Tristan Rogers, Rick Springfield, and Ingo Rademacher - Nathan Parsons joined the cast as Ethan Lovett in January 2009.

Though originally born down under, Parsons was actually raised in both Colorado and Texas. He worked as a child actor dubbing Japanese anime (ADV) films, primarily Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Devil Lady, and Jing: King of Bandits.

He attended University of Southern California in their theater program. His credits before General Hospital include two independent films, Teeth in 2007 and The Brotherhood v. Alumni in 2009.

The young actor came to the attention of GH when he read for a role (believed to be Dante). Though he wasn't quite right for that part, the writers created the role of the con artist Ethan Lovett for him.

Though initially on recurring status, he caught on with audiences and was put under contract.

An avid sports fan, Parsons loves rock climbing, playing football, lacrosse, soccer, and also scuba dives and does yoga.

Parsons has stated that he thinks actors should keep an element of mystery about them, so he possibly won't be doing many interviews.
