==Filmography==
He landed a coveted contract role on ''General Hospital'', and his storyline led the ratings for two years. Bernhardt took acting seriously enough to study in the small master class taught by [[Stella Adler]], and he continued to work steadily as an actor for several years; in TV with another contract role as a priest on ''Dynasty'', as well as several mostly 'bad-guy' leads in films such as ''[[Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth]]''.<ref name="Kane"/> But once he saw his first screenplay produced – he devoted his undivided attention to writing.
