While he stays very busy with acting, Lindstrom manages to find time to pursue his other passions in life. From where he was born and raised to finding the love of his life, here are five fast facts you need to know about the General Hospital actor.
In The Beginning

He has an older brother named Jeff. Lindstrom started acting when he was young and pursued theater at the University of Oregon.
Music Man
Along with acting on soaps like Rituals, Santa Barbara, Generations, and As the World Turns, in addition to GH, Lindstrom has spent his time making music as a drummer with his band called The High Lonesome. In fact, they recorded an album called Feel Free To Do So. The album received praise and two of the songs were added to the Billboard Hot 100.
