Acting Career
After once working as a door-to-door Fuller Brush salesman, Shriner began to appear on GH as Scotty Baldwin. He played the role in four decades and said that it has "been a part of his entire adult life.". From 1980 to 1981, Shriner was cast as Jeb Hampton in the early days of the short-lived NBC soap opera Texas.
Shriner joined the cast of As the World Turns as Julia Larrabee (Sarah Brown)'s brother Keith Morrissey from February 2005 to January 2006. His role drew favourable reviews, though his character wasn't well received by many fans of the show as he broke up popular couple Holden (Jon Hensley) and Lily Snyder (Martha Byrne). Shriner called the ATWT role "The most fun I've had in a long time."
He has had recurring guest-starring roles on Baa Baa Black Sheep, Full House, and Justice League Unlimited.
In February 2011, it was announced that Shriner would fill in for the temporarily unavailable Ted Shackleford as Jeffrey Bardwell on The Young and the Restless. His role ended October 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words acting and/or career:
“Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant.”
—Glenda Jackson (b. 1937)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
