Rex Balsom on the ABC Television Network's
"One Life To Live"
John-Paul Lavoisier joined the
cast of "One Life to Live" in May 2002 as Rex Balsom. Rex came to Llanview to
build a relationship with his sister, Jessica (Erin Torpey), but are family
ties the only thing that this young handsome guy is hoping to find?
Mr. Lavoisier was
raised in Phoenixville, PA, where he attended school at Phoenixville High
School and then continued his education at nearby Philadelphia's University of
the Arts. While in college he studied music performance specializing in the
drums. Mr. Lavoisier then went on to study acting at The School for Film and
Television and Michael Howards Studio, as well as studying with a private
coach.
Mr. Lavoisier's contract role
on OLTL is his first major acting job, although his previous experience
includes a small role on ABC Daytime's "All My Children," a featured model on
"Sex and the City" and various student films. The young actor landed a role in
the independent film "One Day in May" due out in the fall of 2002, and will
also appear in the upcoming feature film "Wolves of Wall Street" set to be
released in 2003. He is a member of the Manhattan-based theater company
"Street Light Productions," in which he performs when his OLTL schedule
permits.
In addition to his passions for
acting and music, Mr. Lavoisier enjoys sports, including tennis, skiing and
golf, and in high school he developed a talent for magic.
