Acting career

After once working as a door-to-door Fuller Brush salesman, Shriner began to appear on "GH" as Scotty Baldwin. He would play the role in four decades and say that the role has "been a part of his entire adult life."

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 most 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".
