Brad Maule
Port Charles Presence
Tony Jones (1984 to Present)
At a Glance
"Tony Jones is one of the good guys," explains actor
Brad Maule of his popular character. "He's honest,
compassionate and thoughtful." However, his long
marriage to Bobbie Jones (Jacklyn Zeman) was
shattered by a series of events, most notably the
accidental death of their daughter, B.J. "Now Tony is
doing everything he can to find a center in his life."
Fortunately, the actor has found that center for
himself.
Raised in rural West Texas, Brad Maule attended
Stephen F. Austin University, graduating cum laude
with a B.F.A. in theater and English. The actor, who
grew up on a farm, was educated at one of the last
remaining country schools (which had an enrollment
of 150 students in 12 grades).
Soon after he journeyed to Los Angeles to get into
the acting profession, Brad was cast in many
productions. At the Westwood Playhouse, he starred
in Billy Barnes' musical revue, Movie Star, for seven
months. He portrayed Hamlet in Somethin's Rockin'
in Denmark at the Odyssey Theater Ensemble in
Los Angeles. In 1983, he won the DramaLogue
Award for his performance in the two-character
musical, Stephen Sondheim's Marry Me a Little.
In addition to his 14 years on General Hospital and
numerous other guest-starring roles, Brad is also a
popular talk-show co-host, having shared the duties
on A.M. Los Angeles, Home, and Live! With Regis &
Kathie Lee, among others.
Brad is also a writer and performer of country music.
His first album, called Livin' It Up, received popular
acclaim; and he now has another CD/video on the
market, titled Chameleon. Most recently, Brad
performed two songs, one of which he wrote, on The
Music of General Hospital, which was released this
past year.
Throughout his career, Brad has found time to
contribute to his community. He co-hosted the
annual West Texas Rehabilitation Telethon in
Abilene, Texas, which helps raise more than a
million dollars each year for the victims of stroke,
heart disease, and other medical problems requiring
physical therapy. Brad's own brother was a patient at
the West Texas Rehabilitation Center. Brad has also
endowed scholarships for students of theater at both
Stephen F. Austin University and his high school in
Snyder, Texas.
In his spare time, Brad and his family enjoy an
outdoor lifestyle. For relaxation, he likes to paint
abstracts in acrylics and charcoal. He and his wife,
Laverne, live in Los Angeles with their two sons and
a daughter: Michael Benjamin, Hunter Nix and Lily
Alexandra Nix.
