Larry Bryggman

Larry Bryggman (born Arvid Laurence Bryggman on December 21, 1938) is an American actor. He was born in Concord, California.

Among other roles (including parts in movies such as Spy Game and Die Hard: With a Vengeance), he is most known for his role as Dr. John Dixon on the soap opera As the World Turns, a role he played from 1969 to 2004. A villain in his earlier days, John learned that dishonesty did not pay, and became a respected doctor at Oakdale Memorial.

For his role as Dr. Dixon, Bryggman received two Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Drama, in 1984 and 1987.

In December 2004, fans were mystified when Larry Bryggman's picture suddenly stopped appearing in the opening credits of As the World Turns. Although the actors were rarely seen on the show, As the World Turns had been praised for at least keeping its veteran actors on contract. After a few weeks of not appearing in the opening credits, it was revealed that Larry Bryggman decided to quit after being offered a large pay cut.
