IMDB only brings up his spot on Portlandia. He must've had a different name when he was on One Life To Live. Does anyone know what it is?
 
23 months between the first two threads; 16 months between the second and third. You are scheduled to ask this question again right around the 2016 draft.
 
someones a stalker...
 
Only a government agency could erase him from history. He has a mysterious background. I still argue that he has been indoctrinated in Sterling's "lose for 20 years" winning formula.

The only thing I can think is that he didn't act under the name Neil Olshey because he's not listed under those soap opera lists of casts and characters
 
I knew I started a thread about this before but I still haven't gotten an answer. Does no one know?
 
I have a feeling he was just a background actor, probably wasn't credited.
 
Maybe you should post this on a soap opera forum? I bet they'd know.
 
So, supposedly Neil Olshey was an actor and was on a daytime soap opera. But no one has any evidence to prove it?

Maybe his entire resume is a fraud?

So then he's actually a really great actor
 
From this interview with Ian Thomsen, it sounds like he had bit parts as an actor, so that probably explains why you can't find info on him on IMDB.

Before he moved to Los Angeles, where he would focus on doing commercials, his main jobs as an actor in New York were on the soap operas "Loving" and "All My Children." On each show he had an "under-five" part, providing him with fewer than five lines of dialog, even as those brief appearances were making him eligible for the Screen Actors Guild.

"It would be three or four episodes over the course of months," he says. "I played a cop on both shows: The guy that has a line here, has a line there, but really isn't moving the story line along. That is what I did. But it was the first step. In New York back in those days the only way you could actually get on camera, to get tape for Los Angeles, was daytime television. Not a lot of shows were being shot in New York. So you were just trying to build up enough of a reel to get an agent in Los Angeles in order to move out there."

Maybe he played an animal. Like, a stand-in for Roy Rogers' horse, Trigger. Everyone knows that animal actors are the best actors in each movie, but have no say.

Just a hunch.
