Greg Vaughan

Greg Vaughan was an American actor who got his start as a model. Vaughan was discovered at age 16 at a school fashion show by a local modeling agent and, upon graduating high school, decided to skip the college experience and travel to Milan, Italy to model. After working with brands like Armani, Versace, and Ralph Lauren, Vaughan moved to Los Angeles to try a career doing what he truly loved: acting. He landed his first professional acting role in 1996, appearing in an episode of "Baywatch" (NBC/syndication, 1989-2001), then portrayed a recurring character, Cliff Yeager, on the 1996-97 season of "Beverly Hills, 90210" (Fox, 1990-2000). His next major role was another recurring character, this time on the second season of "Charmed" (The WB, 1998-2006). He briefly dated co-star Alyssa Milano. In 2002, Vaughan signed on to appear in his first soap opera, a genre that would come to define his popularity, when he portrayed Diego Gutierrez on "The Young and the Restless" (CBS, 1973- ) for a season. He then starred in his most prominent role as Lucky Spencer on "General Hospital" (ABC, 1963- ) from 2003 to 2009. In 2006, Vaughan married his wife, model and actress Touriya Haoud, with whom he had three sons. In 2010, he returned to Beverly Hills as recurring character on the rebooted "90210" (The CW, 2008-2013), and joined the cast of "Days of Our Lives" (NBC, 1965- ) as Eric Brady, a role he portrayed from 2012 until 2016. In 2014, Vaughan and his wife separated and filed for divorce. Vaughan next co-starred in the Oprah Winfrey Network original drama series "Queen Sugar" (OWN, 2016).
