Veteran actor John Reilly portrays Alistair Crane, the immeasurably rich, powerful and seemingly heartless patriarch of Harmony's wealthiest family. The character of Alistair Crane was a mystery to viewers from the show's inception in 1999 to Fall of 2004. Playing the citizens of Harmony like puppets on his string, Alistair had always been heard and not seen. "Passions" revealed the visage of Alistair when his ultimate betrayer, his long- thought-dead wife Katherine, returned to confront her murderous husband.
Reilly's extensive Daytime drama credits include 'Sean Donnelly' on "General Hospital," 'Del Douglas' on "Sunset Beach," 'Dr. Dan Stewart' on "As The World Turns" and in 2001 he guest starred on NBC's "Passions" as 'Marquis of La Cienega.' His other television credits include the role of 'Bill Taylor' on "Beverly Hills 90210," 'Mack McBride' on "Melrose Place," 'Jake Larner' on "Paper Dolls," 'Roy Ralston' on "Dallas" and 'J.J.' on "Dynasty." Additionally, Reilly has had numerous guest star roles on hit shows including "Arli$$," "Judging Amy," "Diagnosis Murder," "Caroline in the City," "Empty Nest" and "Newhart." Reilly's film credits include "Iron Man," "Touch 'N Go," "Deal of the Century," "Main Event" and "The Great Waldo Pepper."
