Hospital, Loving, & Port Charles and in the film In the Middle of the
Night as Nalle.Anders Hove was born in Greenland on 16 January 1956 to
Birthe Hovea, a nurse, and Elliott Crosset Hove, who worked as a
meteorologist. His father was politically involved in Greenland and
helped the country work toward the government it has today. Spending
most of his childhood there, Anders later moved with his parents to
Thisted in Denmark when he was 14 years old. In the 1970s, Anders
attended the Det Kongelige Teater school in Denmark to learn formal
acting. Before this, he had studied law and economics, and had planned
on taking over his father's business.Hove began his professional
career in the 1980s, working mostly in Denmark before moving on to
horror films in the United States. He soon found work on soap operas
in the US and Canada. He has since carved out a place as a popular
performer among Danish directors. His first real movie role was in the
Danish movie In the Middle of the Night (1984), in which he played
Nalle. After working in Denmark for a time as a stage and screen
actor, Anders decided to try his luck on the American front. He and
his wife sold their belongings and moved to the States. There he
landed parts in shows like Tales From the Crypt and the sci-fi movie
Critters 4 (direct to video) as 'Rick', the critter-infested ship's
captain, and the role that many know and remember him for, as the
fiendish and obsessive Cesar Faison on the ABC daytime soap opera
General Hospital. Hove also had two crossovers with his character from
General Hospital on Loving in 1993 and Port Charles in 2000. He also
worked in a Canadian soap opera called Family Passions with General
Hospital co-star and friend Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin). Another
former co-star on General Hospital, Michael Watson, suggested that
Anders should play the villainous vampire Radu Vladislas in the Full
Moon movie Subspecies (1991). He ended up being in three sequels to
the movie during the 90s playing the long-fingered, drooling, infamous
Radu. Hove returned to Denmark in the mid 90s and has continued to act
there, being a favorite actor of the 'Dogme'-directors, usually
playing bad guys.In 1999, Hove returned to General Hospital. Hove made
another return in 2012, and continued to make recurring appearances
through 2014. Hove about his return in 2012 and beyond said in an
interview with Michael Fairman said, "I don't know. At least this time
around Faison won't be dead â€" though that's never stopped him
before! They'll probably send him to jail but maybe there will be more
down the line." On January 19, 2018, Soap Opera Digest announced
Hove's return to General Hospital as Cesar Faison.
