	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Mark Lawson, born December 17, 1979, in Bristol, VA, is an American actor best known for his role as Brody Lovett in "One Life to Live".

Lawson's "One Life to Live" audition couldn't have come at a better time. After five years of pursuing acting in L.A., he decided to allow himself just 10 more auditions before calling it quits. But in March 2008, he read for the role of Quinn (as Brody was then named) in L.A. and was later asked to take a screen test in New York. Well, audition No. 4 turned out to be the charm.

"You get the call and it's like Ed McMahon came by to tell you you won the sweepstakes," he recalls.

"I answered the phone and got the news from my manager and then I just kinda fell to my knees and started going, 'What?!' And then I ran outside and screamed, 'What?!' like all over West Hollywood. And 10 days later I was in New York."

Prior to booking OLTL, Lawson worked as a personal strength coach when and guest- starred on Cold Case as a down- and- out boxer who gets killed in the ring. Every day, Lawson continues to train and coach, pushing himself and others to explore their own true potential.

His other passions include reading, writing, and his morning coffee. He credits his family for giving him the tools and self- confidence to pursue his dreams, no matter how outlandish they sometimes seemed.
