Michael Storm

Michael Storm (born August 9, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American actor.

Storm has appeared on many television shows, but is recognized by many for his recurring role as the third Dr. Larry Wolek on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live. He has played this role on-and-off since 1969, last appearing in May 2004, Storm still remains on recurring status with the show. He was preceded in the role of Larry by his real-life brother, Jim Storm, who, in turn, had been preceded by Paul Tulley. In the storyline, Jim's Larry Wolek was badly burned in a fire and underwent plastic surgery, and Michael's Larry Wolek was revealed when the bandages were removed. This new plot device would prove so successful that many other shows, including Dynasty (and One Life to Live itself in later years), would use it when recasting key characters.[1]

Larry Wolek began as the young doctor at Llanview Hospital, and was the love interest of heiress Meredith Lord. He wanted to marry her but became involved with nurse Karen Martin who became pregnant and Meredith became engaged to another. He married Karen Martin but she miscarried and they divorced. He then married Meredith Lord who was later murdered. After her death, he married a distant cousin, Karen (Kathryn Breech, Judith Light), but in one of One Life to Live's most famous storylines, it was later revealed to him in court that she had been working as a prostitute during their marriage. He later married a fourth wife, Laurel (Janice Lynde) who also died. There have also been various girlfriends throughout the run of the show.

In 1970 he played Dr. Larry Wolek for a few episodes on the ABC soap opera All My Children in an attempt to persuade One Life to Live viewers to watch ABC's newest daytime drama.

He is also a stage actor and appeared in the original cast of Lanford Wilson's "Serenading Louie" at Circle Repertory Theater in New York.

He currently lives in California with his wife. He commutes back to the New York studios of One Life to Live whenever the script calls for him to tape an episode.
