FBI agent John “Jagger” Cates has resurfaced on General Hospital, and he has a brand new look. Blond-haired, blue-eyed Adam Harrington is playing the character originally portrayed by dark, brooding former Calvin Klein model Antonio Sabato, Jr. from 1992 to 1994.
Albeit new to the daytime genre, Harrington has an array of primetime and film credits, including leads in the comedy series Show Me Yours (Showcase) and drama Whistler (CTV) and guest spots on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Smallville, Daytime Divas, and numerous others. He also appeared in the critically acclaimed film Passchendaele as well as the horror cult classic, Valentine, and comedy The Ugly Truth.
