Hello.

Can you identify this character? He was a bad guy, a criminal. He was a middle aged white guy. Not Keriakis, but another guy who was somewhat similar.

I loved this guy because he was hilarious. Evil but hilarious. Actually, there is a line of dialogue I still use today 30 years later...

"i would rather have my body shaved by a chainsaw."

Who is this guy. I watched the show around 1985-1990.

Is he still on the show? If so, it's probably Stefano DiMera.

Maybe it was Tony DiMera.

Doubt that it's Tony or Stefano, they weren't on very much during 1985-1990.

Possibilities:

Larry Welch
Orpheus
Harper Devereaux
Ernesto Toscano
