Adam and Stuart Chandler Adam and Stuart Chandler on All My Children 
Six-time Emmy Award-winning actor David Canary, who began his career on the Broadway stage and in Hollywood film and television productions, joined the cast of "All My Children" in 1983 as the powerful and mercurial Adam Chandler, as well as Adam's shy, gentle twin, Stuart.He was honored with Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor for his portrayal of Adam and Stuart Chandler in 1988, 1989, 1993, 1995 and 2001 and has received nominations in 1997, 1998 and 1999. "It's fun playing two roles," said Mr. Canary. "The roles provide a wonderful range of emotions. Stuart is childlike and sensitive. Adam is ruthless, outrageous. He's flamboyant. He does the unexpected." And Mr. Canary has often done the unexpected. For example, he attended the University of Cincinnati on a football scholarship, played varsity ball throughout his college career, was a Pop Warner Scholastic All-American at Cincinnati, and graduated as a music major specializing in voice in a unique university program that combined study at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. A native of Elwood, Indiana, he grew up in Massillon, Ohio, not far from the Football Hall of Fame in Canton. Mr. Canary went on to make his Broadway debut in Jose Quintero's production of "Great Day in the Morning," with Colleen Dewhurst. Then came a draft call from the U.S. Army, and he entered and won the All Army Entertainment Contest for best popular singer. When Mr. Canary left the service, he restarted his career on the West Coast, starring in "The Fantasticks" in San Francisco. Television and movie roles followed. Primetime television audiences know him as Candy in "Bonanza," as Russ Gehring in "Peyton Place" and from numerous guest appearances in other programs, including the made-for-television film "The Dain Curse," opposite Ellis Rabb and Jean Simmons. Mr. Canary has also appeared on Daytime television as Stephen Frame in "Another World." Among his feature films are "Hombre," "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre" and "End of a Dark Street." He also starred with Marian Seldes in the independently produced comedy film, "In a Pig's Eye." He has also been featured in "Law & Order" and "Touched by an Angel." Periodically Mr. Canary has returned to Broadway in such roles as Edouard in Tennessee Williams' "Clothes for a Summer Hotel," opposite Geraldine Page and Kenneth Haigh, also directed by Jose Quintero. New York audiences have seen him on stage in the title role of Strindberg's "The Father," as El Gallo in "The Fantasticks," in the Broadway musical "The Happiest Girl in the World," "Blood Moon," "Sally's Gone, She Left Her Name," with Michael Learned, "The Night of the Bear," "Cobb," written by Lee Blessing, and "Orphans," by Lyle Kessler. In regional and stock theater he played the title role in "Macbeth," at The Actors Theater of Louisville, Elyot in Noel Coward's "Private Lives," and a reprise of Don Quixote in "Man of La Mancha," for John Kenley in Ohio. He also played Macheath in "The Beggar's Opera," at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Trigorin in "The Sea Gull," at the Pittsburgh Public Theater, and he starred in "Sweeney Todd" at the North Shore Music Theatre. Mr. Canary returned to North Shore in the fall of 1998 to play the mercurial poet in "Kismet." He has also performed "Clarence Darrow," a one man play by David Rintels.
