Nick Rivers on the ABC Television Network's "The City"
Roscoe Born joined the cast of the newest ABC Daytime drama "The City" in November 1995 as Nick Rivers. A guitarist from the "what ever happened to" category, Nick has resurfaced in New York, at the scene of his first big success: The bar where it all started and to the lady he's never been able to forget.
Born in Topeka, Kansas and raised in Kensington, MD, Born spent two years at Boston University pursuing a degree in theater. His classmates included Alfre Woodard and Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman). Further study includes training under Uta Hagen at the H. B. Studios.
Born's impressive credits include his Emmy nominated portrayal of Robert Barr on "Santa Barbara," his popular stint as Mitch Laurence on "One Life To Live," and his role as Joe Novack on "Ryan's Hope." Additionally, Born has co-starred with "All My Children" star Susan Lucci in the ABC Television movie "Lady Mobster," and was a series regular with "The City" co-star Morgan Fairchild on the ABC series "Paper Dolls." Born and Fairchild also worked together in the cable television movie "The Haunting of Sarah Hardy."
A committed activist against illiteracy, Born devotes his spare time being a "book pal," reading to the second and third graders of Manhattan's P.S. 11 elementary school. Other work with reading includes reading to the blind at the Braille Institute of New York and the Lions Center for the Blind in Oakland, California.
Married to actress Roberta Weiss, Born resides in Manhattan.
