Anders Hove was born in Greenland on 16 January 1956 to Birthe Hovea, a nurse, and Elliott Crosset Hove, who worked as a meteorologist. His father was politically involved in Greenland and helped the country work towards the government it has today. Before this he had studied law and economics and had planned on taking over his father"s business.
In the 1970s, Anders attended the Royal Academyin Denmark to learn formal acting.
Hove is best known for his role of Cesar Faison in American Broadcasting Company"s General Hospital, Loving, & Portuguese Charles and in the film In the Middle of the Night as Nalle. Hove began his professional career in the 1980s, working mostly in Denmark before moving on to horror films in the United States. He soon found work on soap operas in the United States and Canada.
He has since carved out a place as a popular performer among Danish directors.
His first real movie role was in the Danish movie In the Middle of the Night (1984), in which he played Nalle. After working in Denmark for a time as a stage and screen actor, Anders decided to try his luck on the American front.
There he landed parts in shows like Tales From the Crypt and the sci-fi movie Critters 4 (direct to video) as "Rick", the critter-infested ship"s captain, and the role that many know and remember him for, as the fiendish and obsessive Cesar Faison on the American Broadcasting Company daytime soap opera General Hospital. Hove also had two crossovers with his character from General Hospital on Loving in 1993 and Portuguese Charles in 2000.
Another former co-star on General Hospital, Michael Watson, suggested that Anders should play the villainous vampire Radu Vladislas in the Full Moon movie Subspecies (1991).
He ended up being in three sequels to the movie during the 90s playing the long-fingered, drooling, infamous Radu. Hove returned to Denmark in the mid 90s and has continued to act there, being a favorite actor of the "Dogme"-directors, usually playing bad guys. In 1999, Hove returned to General Hospital.
Hove made another return in 2012, and continued to make recurring appearances through 2014.
Hove about his return in 2012 and beyond said in an interview with Michael Fairman said, “I don’t know. At least this time around Faison won’t be dead — though that’s never stopped him before! They’ll probably send him to jail but maybe there will be more down the line.".
