Law]]''.

He may be best-remembered for his role as [[Marco Dane]] on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] [[soap opera]], ''[[One Life to Live]]'', a role he played from 1977–86, and from 1989–90, and on fellow ABC serial ''[[General Hospital]]'' in 1992.

Marco arrived in Llanview as a low-life pimp and pornographer who was only supposed to last for 8 days, but Anthony's offbeat look as well as his impassioned performances and electric chemistry with co-star [[Judith Light]] ([[Karen Wolek]]) made him such a fan favorite that only a few months after producers killed off Marco in 1978 they revealed the real victim was Marco's heretofore unknown brother, Mario Corelli. Anthony was nominated for a [[Daytime Emmy Award]] for the role in 1982,<ref>[http://www.soapoperadigest.com/Emmys/winners1982/index.html 1982 Emmy Winners & Nominees] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113052409/http://www.soapoperadigest.com/Emmys/winners1982/index.html|date=January 13, 2010 }}</ref> and won for Marco on ''[[General Hospital]]'' in 1993.<ref>[http://www.soapoperadigest.com/Emmys/winners1993/index.html 1993 Emmy Winners & Nominees] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726134819/http://www.soapoperadigest.com/Emmys/winners1993/index.html|date=2009-07-26}}</ref>

During his absences from daytime, Anthony had many guest-starring roles on television and a recurring role as kind-hearted Father Pete Terranova on ''[[Wiseguy (TV series)|Wiseguy]]'' from 1988–89.<ref name="CT">{{cite news|last1=Carter|first1=Alan|title=From Pimp To Priest|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/1989/06/25/from-pimp-to-priest/|access-date=November 11, 2017|work=chicagotribune|agency=New York Daily News|publisher=Chicago Tribune|date=June 25, 1989}}</ref> Anthony also [http://www.cybercom.net/~jima/mags/aug94.html directed] an independent film, ''Twisted'', and episodes of ''[[All My Children]]''.

He continued to appear sporadically in primetime; in early 2003, he played a bit part on ''[[As the World Turns]]''; when asked why he had not returned to daytime sooner, he said "no one asked me."
