THE 411
The youngest of four children, Tyler Christopher was born in Joliet, IL, but he grew up with his two sisters and brother in Delaware, OH. Accomplished in sports, he graduated from high school and attended Ohio Wesleyan University for two years, before heading to California to pursue a career in acting. It didn't last long: He returned home shortly after heading West, then gave Hollywood another shot in 1995. His hard work and perseverance paid off when he landed the part of Laura Spencer's son, Nikolas, on GH in July, 1996. He left GH to try his luck in prime-time and film three years later, but after some notable guest appearances on TV series, he was lured back this year to the character he originated.
