Kin Shriner (born December 6, 1953) is an American dramatic actor, best known for his portrayal of Scott Baldwin on the ABC soap opera General Hospital (1977–93, 2000–04, 2007–08, 2013–) and its spin-off Port Charles (1997–2001).
Shriner and his twin brother, actor Wil Shriner, were born in New York, New York to the late Eileen "Pixie" McDermott and Herb Shriner, a popular television personality. The boys' parents died in an automobile accident when the twins were teenagers, after which the brothers moved to Texas to live with their grandmother.
Shriner was employed by Fuller Brush as a door-to-door salesman before becoming an actor. He was originally cast as Scott Baldwin on General Hospital in 1977, the role in which he is best known for playing. In the fall of 1980, he left General Hospital and immediately began playing Jeb Hampton, on the NBC daytime soap opera Texas. He left that role in 1981. He soon returned to General Hospital where he remained until 1983, returning again from 1987-1993. In between those stints, he appeared on the short-lived syndicated daily soap Rituals as hero Mike Gallagher. He played Dr. Brian Carrey on CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful from 1994 to 1995. In 1997, he once again returned to playing Scott Baldwin, but this time on General Hospital's spin-off Port Charles. Port Charles was set in the same fictional city as General Hospital, Port Charles, New York, and featured many of the same characters. In 2000, Shriner returned to General Hospital and quit appearing on Port Charles the next year. He left General Hospital again in 2004. That same year he appeared as Harrison Bartlett on The Young and the Restless. In 2005, he joined the cast of As the World Turns playing the role of Keith Morrissey until leaving the role in 2006. He returned to General Hospital in 2007 and left the series again in 2008. In 2013, he returned to General Hospital where he has remained since. In 2011, he served as a temporary fill-in for fellow actor Ted Shackleford on The Young and the Restless. Shriner played Shackleford's role of Jeffrey Bardwell until September 2011, while he was unavailable.
