THIS IS LIFE MADE FOR TV

From then on, he played lawyer Joe Kelly on General Hospital all the time.

Doug talked about his TV fame and how hard it is to become famous on an episode of The Arsenio Hall Show in 1989.

“Everyone knows that casting directors, not producers, run Hollywood.” They don’t watch what you’re doing…Basically, I’ve spent the whole time breaking down walls with daytime, nighttime, and half-hour comedy. They don’t know if I’m ready for regular comedy shows yet, so I need to make a name for myself.

Ten (1979), Victor/Victoria (1982), and Cops n’ Roberts (1995) were the three movies he was in.
