Nathan Purdee returns to Llanview for the first time in nearly six years in April -- and it's no April Fool's Day prank. Beginning in 1992, Purdee enjoyed an eleven-year run as Llanview's District Attorney, Hank "The Cannon" Gannon.
Fans of CBS's The Young and the Restless may also recognize Purdee. The actor appeared from 1985 to 1992 as Nathan Hastings. During his time on The Young and the Restless, Purdee's character went from mobster to a "reformed" private investigator. The character subsequently kidnapped his son, was involved in an HIV scare, and later killed when he was struck by a car in 1996.
Purdee returns on April 1 to help usher in his newly recast on-screen daughter.
