Vincent Irizarry (Dr. David Hayward)

Vincent Irizarry first joined the cast of "All My Children" in November of 1997, in the short-term contract role of the manipulative and menacing Dr. David Hayward. Due to his incredible popularity, Dr. David Hayward returned to Pine Valley in June of 1998 in this contract role. While in town, the doctor has been practicing his bedside manner on the dynamic Erica Kane.

Vincent Irizarry has always had a passion for the arts. When Vincent was just 11 years old, he began his creative climb, studying photography, which he has enjoyed as a form of creative expression for more than 20 years.

At the same age he began to study piano, becoming classically trained, then continued his studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was there that he fell in love with acting while performing in numerous productions with a regional theater company. He decided to move back to New York to sow the seeds for a career as a professional actor, soon winning a full-time scholarship with the late Lee Strasberg, at his Theater Institute.

Vincent's first professional job came on the off-Broadway stage at the New York Shakespeare Festival, where he was directed by the Tony Award-winning director, Des McAnuff, in The Death of Von Richthoven. Other theater credits include Lennon, in which Vincent portrayed the role of Paul McCartney (he learned the bass guitar for the role); the title role of the tortured yet gifted artist in Modigliani, The Taming of the Shrew and Tennessee Williams' The Long Goodbye.

This talented and versatile actor has quite an impressive resume. In television, Vincent scored as the anti-hero, Lujack, in Guiding Light, a role which earned him a Daytime Emmy nomination. Soon after, Vincent moved to Los Angeles, where he worked opposite Nancy McKeon in the CBS television movie, Firefighter; with Treat Williams and Peter Coyote in Joseph Wambaugh's Echoes in the Darkness, as well as many guest-starring roles on series such as L.A. Law. Vincent also won critical acclaim when he was offered the lead role of Gino Santangelo in Jackie Collins' NBC miniseries, Lucky Chances, where he portrayed 40 years in a man's life. In features, Vincent played Sissy Spacek's abusive husband in Marie -- A True Story, and starred in Clint Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge for Warner Bros.

Vincent moved back east once more when the producers of Guiding Light approached him to return to the show in the newly created role of Nick. In cultural New York, Vincent returned to developing his voice to the level of legit tenor. After studying with premier voice coach Tad Motyka, Vincent realized a dream by performing as a soloist with the Orchestre de Lyon, France.

Vincent's most recent credits include the starring role in the NBC telefilm, Lying Eyes, a passionate portrayal of a man whose insatiable desires lead him to live a double life of deceit, eventually at the expense of losing everything of real value to himself; and a recurring role on Beverly Hills, 90210, as the charming but lethal pimp, Riggs.
