.: Steve's Biography
Born Jack Stephen Burton in Indianapolis, Indiana, Burton was raised in the
Midwest, attending several different high schools before settling in California.
Burton graduated from Beverly Hills High School, where he studied drama. He was
also a member of the school's Theatre 40.
Versatile actor Steve Burton brings an innocent vulnerability to the
fiercely intense Jason Morgan, the youngest son of Dr. Alan Quartermaine, on
General Hospital. Although born to the Quartermaine family, a near-fatal
accident caused Jason to lose his memory. Thus was born Jason Morgan, who would
become the leader of organized crime in Port Charles.
The transition from Jason Quartermaine to Jason Morgan has been an incredible
experience as an actor, and for that I am grateful," reflects Steve. Steve
received his first Emmy in May, 1998, for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a
Drama Series. He also received an award for Outstanding Supporting Actor at the
nationally televised Soap Opera Awards in February, 1998.
Steve Burton's background is quite unlike that of Jason Quartermaine. Born in
Indianapolis, Indiana, Mr. Burton was raised in the Midwest and attended several
different high schools in the nation's heartland before moving with his father
to California. Before graduating from Beverly Hills High school, "a world
apart from the environment I was accustomed to," he emphasizes, Mr. Burton
studied drama and was a member of the school's acclaimed Theatre 40.
A very successful career in commercials led to a three-year run on the popular
syndicated comedy series, Out of This World, playing the role of Chris Fuller.
Mr. Burton made his daytime drama debut in the recurring role of Harris Michaels
on Days of Our Lives.
A gifted and enthusiastic athlete, Mr. Burton enjoys and excels at virtually
every sport, but prefers surfing above them all. Mr. Burton is married and
lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Sheree.
