ALL MY CHILDREN CAST INSPIRED BY NEW CO-STAR

An unexpected casting development has revived decades-old U.S. TV soap ALL MY CHILDREN - after the show signed on a real war hero to play a wounded soldier on the series. Iraq war veteran J.R. Martinez is set to make his TV debut next month (06Nov08) as a wounded soldier on the daytime show after winning a casting search. Martinez, 25, was severely burned when his Humvee hit a land mine in 2003. His new co-star, actress Beth Ehlers tells Us Weekly, "I'll teach him to act, and he'll teach me to be a better person."
