Richard Steinmetz joins the cast of "Passions" in a contract role. According to Executive Producer Lisa de Cazotte, Steinmetz will debut on canvas as a mystery man. It will become clear along the way who he really is and how he's connected to the characters in Harmony."
Steinmetz has a long list of theater credits both in New York and Los Angeles and is well recognized for his role as Jeff Hartman on "Loving" and Jimmy Stanley on "Melrose Place." His feature film credits include "The One" with Jet Lee, "Crazy Beautiful" and "S.W.A.T."
