Justin Hartley

Justin Hartley (born January 29, 1977) is an American actor who is most popular for having portrayed the role of Fox Crane on the NBC daytime drama Passions from December 17th, 2002 to February 10th, 2006. After work in commercials, Hartley originated the role of Nicholas Foxworth Crane, a spoiled, rich young man on the NBC soap opera Passions, where he and his character were fan favorites. In October 2005, Hartley announced that he had opted not to renew his contract with Passions after three years with the series. He taped his final episode on January 7 and last aired on February 10. Shortly after his departure from the soap, Hartley was tapped to replace Will Toale as Arthur "AC" Curry in The CW's drama based on DC comic book character Aquaman. The CW failed to pick up the show for fall 2006, though the show's pilot was released on iTunes. Hartley currently has three movies due out in theatres, two of which are completed. Hartley stars as "Joe" in Race You to the Bottom, a film by writer/director Russell Brown; he also just completed a movie called Scorpio Men on Prozac, which he describes as a dark comedy. Hartley recently signed as the lead in Stewart St. John's newest movie, The Next Race (put on my StewdioMedia). In addition, Hartley has been cast as the Green Arrow on seven episodes of Smallville's sixth season.
