Here’s what General Hospital Alum Stephen Kay Has Been Up To

Do you remember Reginald the Quartermaine’s butler on General Hospital? Stephen Kay memorably played him from 1992 to 2003. His post-GH career includes becoming a successful force behind the scenes of some of your favorite primetime and streaming TV shows.

Director and Executive Producer

On GH, Reginald answered to the Quartermaines. But in real life, Kay gets to call the shots on various TV and movie sets. In fact, he has directed Friday Night Lights, Sons of Anarchy, and The Shield episodes.

Over the years, he has also worn directing and producing hats for several shows, including the late USA Network drama Covert Affairs. That’s the show where he met his now wife of ten years, Piper Perabo.

The actor has wisely hitched his wagon to prolific streaming creator Taylor Sheridan. As a result, Kay doesn’t just direct. He also executive produces several Sheridan shows. The list includes the Paramount+ shows Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, and Landman, which recently debuted to huge numbers. The series stars Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, and another GH alum, Demi Moore.

In fact, Kay directed the extremely intense season 2 finale of Lioness, which stars Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Kelly, Dave Annable, and ex-Young and the Restless star Thad Luckinbill.

However, the New Zealander hasn’t limited his talents to the small screen. In 2000, he directed Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine in Get Carter. In 2005, he helmed the horror movie Booygeman. Current GH actor Charles Mesure (Brennan) appeared in the hit film.

Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, and Landman are currently streaming on Paramount+. New episodes of Landman drop each Sunday. The ten-episode season will conclude on January 12, 2025.
