Thomas Larkin Malloy (September 24, 1954 – September 29, 2016) was an American soap opera actor, voice-over artist and acting teacher.
Malloy was born in New York City, the third child of John and Theresa (née Larkin) Malloy, both Irish immigrants. He had one older brother, Patrick Malloy, and one older sister, Maureen Malloy.[citation needed]
Career
Malloy began his acting career in 1974 while he attended Iona College and acted in Off-Off-Broadway plays.[1]
His first major television role was wealthy playboy Schuyler Whitney (and his impostor) on the ABC daytime soap opera The Edge of Night from 1980 to 1984.[2][3] Malloy next played businessman Kyle Sampson opposite Kim Zimmer on the CBS soap Guiding Light from 1984 to 1987. His longest running role was Travis Montgomery, opposite Susan Lucci, on the ABC soap All My Children, which he played on and off from 1987 to 2001.[4]
While on The Edge of Night, Malloy was hit by a car on Park Avenue in New York City.[1] He was temporarily replaced by James Horan, who Malloy would later replace as Clay Alden on Loving in 1992.
In later years, Larkin worked as a voice-over artist and acting teacher.[5]
