Brad Maule (October 11, 1951 - ) is an American actor best known for his role as Dr. Tony Jones on General Hospital. His long-time role ended in 2006 when his character died from an epidemic. He was born in Rotan, Texas. He attended Stephen F. Austin College, graduating cum laude with a B.F.A. in theater and English. The actor, who grew up on a farm, was educated at one of the last remaining country schools (which had an enrollment of 150 students in 12 grades). Soon after he journeyed to Los Angeles to get into the acting profession, Brad was cast in many productions. At the Westwood Playhouse, he starred in Billy Barnes' musical revue, "Movie Star," for seven months. He portrayed Hamlet in "Somethin's Rockin' in Denmark" at the Odyssey Theater Ensemble in Los Angeles. In 1983, he won the DramaLogue Award for his performance in the two-character musical, Stephen Sondheim's "Marry Me a Little."

In addition to his 14 years on "General Hospital," his television credits include guest-starring roles in Three's Company, The White Shadow, Too Close for Comfort and Charlie's Angels. He also guested on "Malibu," an ABC miniseries. Brad is also a talk show co-host, having shared the duties on "A.M. Los Angeles," "Home," and Live! With Regis & Kathie Lee, among others. Brad was a writer and performer of songs even before he launched his acting career. He first joined The Serendipity Singers, and toured the country with them. Landing in Hawaii, he spent a year singing back-up in Hawaiian for the popular performer, Don Ho. Eventually he sang back-up for Bobby Gentry and Jim Nabors. Brad has headlined at the famed Palomino Club in Los Angeles. He also sang the Oscar-nominated "Arthur's Theme" on the "American Music Awards" telecast and has sung on The Mike Douglas Show, The Merv Griffin Show and The John Davidson Show. His first album of country-western music, called "Livin' It Up," received popular acclaim; and he now has another CD/video on the market, titled "Chameleon." Most recently, Brad performed two songs, one of which he wrote, on "The Music of General Hospital."

When Brad is not acting, or composing and singing songs, he and his family enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. For relaxation, he likes to paint abstracts in acrylics and charcoal.
