Ted King, an American actor standing at an exact 5ft 11 ½ (181.6 cm), leveraged his tall, commanding stature to embody powerful characters in soap operas and TV dramas. His height amplified the intimidating presence of mobster Lorenzo Alcazar in General Hospital, added authority to Inspector Andy Trudeau in Charmed, and enhanced the intensity of Tomas Delgado in One Life to Live. This physical attribute became central to his on-screen image as a dominant, versatile performer in intense storylines.
