David Patrick Green is the Canadian actor who portrayed Xeno Fenner in "Dirty Hands".

Green graduated in 1989 from the University of Guelph with a degree in consumer studies, with the intention of working in the advertising field; additionally, he took his first acting class while studying at Guelph. His first job was a six-month stint selling cellphones, which at the time averaged $5,000. For a year after that, he backpacked through Europe, working as a ski instructor and ski shop employee in France in order to finance his personal expedition. Green then worked for three years in Canada as a collection agent, moving to Poland (near or in Warsaw) to work as an accounting manager for an advertising company.[1]

In 1996, he attended University of Southern California working for a Master of Business Administration degree, so as to advance his career with the Poland-based advertising company. Instead of returning to Warsaw, he worked as a management consultant in the tech industry prior to the dot-com crash, as he was attracted to the southern California sights.[1]

After the crash, the then-36 year old Green pursued his passion: acting.[1] Since then, he has appeared in skits for Jimmy Kimmel Live (in 2004), as well as in Veronica Mars (having read for the series six times before being booked)[1], CSI, Smallville and ER.

In February 2006, he began interning at Ulrich/Dawson/Kritzer Casting, having interned there for at least six months.[1]

As a aspiring child actor, Stuart attended nighttime tapings of sitcoms such as Happy Days and Mork and Mindy, convincing his parents to support his acting ambitions.[external 5]

Career

edit

Early Acting Career

edit

Acting under the name Patrick Stuart, the young performer was spotted by a talent agent in a local production of A Christmas Carol.[external 5] This led to landing the role of Doctor Zee in the short-lived television series Galactica 1980, beginning with the episode "The Super Scouts, Part I."[external 3][production 1] Stuart was 11 years old when he joined the ABC series, becoming a member of the ABC family that would continue throughout his career.[external 3]

He later changed his professional name from Patrick Stuart to James Patrick Stuart to avoid confusion with Star Trek: The Next Generation actor Patrick Stewart, who portrayed Jean-Luc Picard.[external 2] After high school, Stuart attended university in San Francisco.[external 3]

Film and Television Work

edit

Stuart's film credits include a memorable role as a bellhop in Pretty Woman (1990) with Julia Roberts,[external 3] and significant roles in the Civil War films Gettysburg (1993) and Gods and Generals (2003), where he portrayed Colonel/General Edward Porter Alexander.[external 1] Other film work includes It's Complicated (2009).[external 5]

Stuart has appeared in numerous television series throughout his career, including memorable guest roles in Seinfeld (as Brett, Elaine's boyfriend with an affinity for the song "Desperado"),[external 3] and Frasier (as Gee, a French ski instructor in the iconic "Ski Lodge" episode).[external 3] His television credits span diverse programs including CSI, CSI: Miami, Judging Amy, The Closer, The Mentalist, 90210, Two Broke Girls, How to Get Away with Murder, Bones, Castle, Medium, Still Standing, and Ghost Whisperer.[external 6][external 5]

Stuart had a recurring role as the villain Dick Roman on The CW's Supernatural (2011-2012).[external 3][commentary 1] The character was described as "a very canny, charming, well-connected new adversary" sought out by the demon Crowley to join forces and pursue common interests.[commentary 1] From 2022 to 2024, he starred as the lead character Vic Madden/Kraniac on the Disney Channel series The Villains of Valley View.[external 6]

Soap Opera Work

edit

Stuart's first daytime television role came in 1989 when he was cast as the villainous Will Cortlandt on All My Children, a role he played until 1992.[external 5] His performance earned him a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actor in 1992.[external 5]

In July 2016, Stuart returned to daytime television when he joined the cast of General Hospital as Valentin Cassadine.[external 7] Originally intended as a short-term role to kill off fan-favorite Nicholas Cassadine before being arrested, Stuart's portrayal proved so popular that the character was expanded into a long-term role.[external 3][external 8]

Stuart has earned three consecutive Daytime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work as Valentin Cassadine in 2020, 2021, and 2022.[external 9] Stuart maintains recurring status on the show rather than being under contract, which allows him flexibility to pursue other projects.[external 10]

In mid-2024, Stuart and his wife relocated to Portland, Oregon.[commentary 2] His character was written into a storyline that sent Valentin to Steinmauer Prison on March 24, 2025, with Stuart's final words being "Till next time," leaving the door open for future returns.[commentary 2] Stuart has expressed openness to returning to the role in the future, stating the exit "was no skin off my teeth" given his recurring status.[commentary 2]

As of 2024-2025, Stuart continues to appear on General Hospital in recurring capacity, with his character departing and returning at various points in the storyline.[external 9]

Voice Acting

edit

Stuart has maintained an extensive voice acting career spanning animation and video games. His voice work includes performances in Duck Dodgers, the film Cars, and the Disney Channel series Phineas and Ferb.[external 6] He is particularly known for voicing Private in Nickelodeon's The Penguins of Madagascar animated series.[external 3]

Mystery Incorporated, Winx Club, Monsters vs Aliens, The Powerpuff Girls, Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, Lego Star Wars: All-Stars, Spirits Riding Free: Pony Tales, Vlogs From the Bog, Amphibia, and Blaze and the Monster Machines.[external 6][external 5]

Musical Career

edit

Following in his father's footsteps, Stuart has pursued a music career alongside his acting work. In 2019, he released his debut album, The Apple Tree, as a tribute to his father Chad Stuart.[external 5][commentary 3] The album featured Jeremy Clyde, his father's partner in Chad & Jeremy, performing a cappella versions of the duo's songs "Rest In Peace" and "You Are She."[commentary 3] The 12-song album was released on October 1, 2019, and also included a track titled "Lullaby with My Father."[external 11]

In July 2021, Stuart released his second album, Clean Slate, which featured more personal selections and a dedication to his General Hospital co-star Scarlett Fernandez, who played his on-screen daughter Charlotte.[commentary 4] The album included his father's final song and featured a departure from the string-heavy sound of his first album, incorporating more brass instrumentation including saxophone, trumpet, and trombone.[commentary 4]

Stuart has performed original music at the annual Nurses Ball on General Hospital on multiple occasions.[external 5] He has also participated in numerous fan events and concert performances with his General Hospital co-star Wally Kurth, performing a mixture of original songs and Chad & Jeremy classics.[commentary 5] Stuart has noted that his voice is very similar to his father's, particularly when performing Chad & Jeremy material.[commentary 5]

Stuart's music is inspired by irony, love, and life experience, and he credits his 20-year marriage to his wife for much of his songwriting inspiration, stating, "she makes every moment a melody."[commentary 5] He approaches acting dialogue with a musician's sensibility, describing his process: "You start to pick up the melody. If you go over it a few times and you go over the scene, you start to see where the story goes. The actual order of the words comes last."[commentary 5]

Personal Life

edit

Stuart has been married to Jocelyn Jane Stilwell since September 9, 2000.[external 2] The couple has two sons: Graham Parker Stuart (born May 18, 2002) and Colin.[external 5] The family resides in Los Angeles, California.[external 5]

Stuart's father, Chad Stuart, passed away on December 20, 2020, at the age of 79 from pneumonia following complications from a fall.[external 4][commentary 6] Stuart honored his father on social media with a heartfelt poem: "Higgledy piggledy hi-de-ho... Miss you, kiss you, daddy-o... Wish you'd stuck around a bit, but you were sick and had to split. Just know that I could not be sad when I'm this grateful you were my dad."[commentary 6]

Early Life and Career

edit

Patrick Macnee (born Daniel Patrick Macnee on February 6, 1922 in London, England, died June 25, 2015 in Rancho Mirage, CA) was a British stage, film and television actor.

Born and raised in a wealthy family with turbulent changes caused by his father's lifestyle, Macnee was raised by his mother, Dorothea Mary, and her female partner.

Graduating from Eton College (despite a near-expulsion due to his involvement in a gambling ring), Macnee began his career as an extra in the 1938 film, Pygmalion (starring the film's star and director, Leslie Howard). World War II interrupted his acting career as he served in the Royal Navy, after which Macnee entered into a drama school for additional training in Britain.

Macnee landed additional minor and extra roles in some of the first BBC televised movies in the latter 1940s, including Wuthering Heights, Macbeth, Othello and Hamlet. One of his earliest credited film roles was the 1951 production of Scrooge starring Alastair Sim, where he played the young Jacob Marley.

Seeking more substantial roles, Macnee left to work in Canada and the neighboring United States. From 1955 to 1960, he appeared mostly on Canadian and US television, chiefly in dramatic anthology series such as Playhouse 90, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and the first season Twilight Zone episode "Judgment Night" which starred Nehemiah Persoff. Another notable role was in the Kraft Television Theatre production of A Night To Remember about the sinking of the Titanic. Macnee played Thomas Andrews, the doomed builder and designer of the liner in a live broadcast that required 107 actors and 31 sets, described at the time as "the most complex live television show ever attempted."

The Avengers

edit

Because he had failed to achieve notable stardom in the US, Macnee returned to England to co-produce an ambitious documentary series about Winston Churchill, The Valiant Years. He wasn't sure about continuing as an actor until he received the offer in 1960 that would change his life forever as John Steed, the derby-wearing, umbrella-carrying secret agent in the British TV series The Avengers. In the first season, Macnee largely played second-fiddle to the nominal star, Ian Hendry as Dr. David Keel. After Hendry's departure following the first season, Macnee became the first-billed star of the show, playing opposite a series of female partners, first with Honor Blackman (as the leather-suited Cathy Gale), followed by Diana Rigg (as Mrs. Emma Peel), and finally Linda Thorson (as Tara King). Macnee lent his costume designing skills to the series as well. The series ran from 1961 to 1969, and reached American audiences starting in 1966 when ABC began airing the episodes featuring Macnee and Rigg. Macnee subsequently reprised the character of Steed in The New Avengers, which ran from 1976 to 1977 in Britain. In the 1998 film remake of The Avengers he had a voice-only cameo as "Invisible Jones."

Return to the US

edit

Following the end of The Avengers, Macnee returned to the US as his primary base, appearing in many American films and TV shows for the next three decades. His credits included such shows as Night Gallery and Columbo. He reunited with his Avengers co-star Diana Rigg in an episode of her short-lived 1973 sitcom Diana as an old flame of hers. His iconic status as John Steed also led to other spy-oriented projects such as a regular role in the short-lived spy series Gavilan (1982), the 1983 TV-movie Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E and the James Bond film, A View To A Kill. (1985) He also played Dr. Watson in three different Sherlock Holmes TV-movies between 1976 and 1992.

Galactica and Glen Larson

edit

Macnee first worked for Glen A. Larson in an episode of Alias Smith And Jones and later The Hardy Boys. For the Original Series he was first hired to do the uncredited voice of the Imperious Leader and the opening narration that began, "There are those who believe, that life here began out there." This led to him being cast as the mysterious Count Iblis in the two-part episode "War of the Gods," which became perhaps his most famous role outside that of John Steed.

After Galactica, Macnee also guested on the Larson co-created Magnum P.I. and had a recurring role on the 1997 Larson series NightMan.

Personal Life and Death

edit

Macnee married his first wife, Barbara Douglas, in 1942. They had two children, Rupert and Jenny, and a grandson, Christopher ("Kit"). The divorced in 1956. In 1959, while working in the US, he became an American citizen. His second marriage (1965−1969) was to actress Kate Woodville, who appeared in the Star Trek episode "For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky". His third marriage was to Baba Majos de Nagyzsenye, daughter of opera singer Ella Némethy. It lasted from 1988 until her death in 2007. The notable British television magician David Nixon was his cousin.

Macnee died in 2015 in Rancho Mirage, CA at age 93. Longtime friend Roger Moore tweeted, "We were mates from 1950s and I have so many happy memories of working with him. A true gent."

Discussing his role as Captain David Singh on The Flash, Sabongui told Pop City Life in 2014 that he was initially drawn to the character's drive and self-confidence, as well as the interesting dynamic of a police captain whose partner is a vigilante who breaks the law.[commentary 11] He emphasized the importance of playing the first openly gay character in the DC Universe, noting that Singh is treated with respect and that representing diversity in a meaningful way could inspire viewers who feel marginalized.[commentary 12]

On The Hunting Party

edit

In a 2025 interview with Nerds That Geek, Sabongui discussed his role as Jacob Hassani in NBC's The Hunting Party, expressing that the project represented everything he had worked toward in his career. He described Jacob as a multidimensional character who balances being the strong arm of the government with a human, family-oriented side.[commentary 13] He explained that what grounds him in the role is the extensive narrative Jacob must balance mentally, including the mission at hand, secrets to keep, protecting the team, and concerns about his family's safety.[commentary 14]

Sabongui praised the collaborative environment on The Hunting Party, noting that the cast genuinely enjoys each other and actively engages with the material, bringing ideas and questions to the showrunners.[commentary 15] He described the show as a successful blend of true crime, procedural storytelling, and serialized family drama that pulls together popular cultural elements.[commentary 16]

Interest in Comedy

edit

Despite being primarily cast in dramatic and action roles, Sabongui has expressed interest in comedy. In the Chloe Magazine interview, he noted that people who know him personally often assume comedy is his genre because of his personality, recalling that a casting director once told him he would find his real success in comedy—a prediction that had yet to materialize a decade later.[commentary 17]
