Timothy D. Stickney originated the role menacing RJ Gannon in August 1994, a dangerously charming man whose illegal dealings continually cause friction with his brother, Hank Gannon (Nathan Purdee), Llanview's district attorney. His winning portrayal of RJ earned him a 1996 Soap Opera Award nomination for Outstanding Villain, and he was honored with the award in 2000.
Raised in Wilmington, DE, Mr. Stickney is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts whose professional theater experience is deeply rooted in Shakespeare. He toured with the National Shakespeare Company for three years -- his first role, as Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet, came shortly after answering an ad in Backstage -- and appeared in the New York Shakespeare Festival productions of The Taming of the Shrew and The Two Parts of Henry IV. In addition to his other Shakespearean credits, he performed in 1969, a play which the actors and director wrote while in rehearsal, and the 20-minute play, Stones and Bones. Mr. Stickney was also a Teaching Artist at New York City's Theatre For A New Audience in 1990. In March 2002 he played the title role in Othello with the Africa Arts Theatre in Manhattan.
