Laurence Lau began playing the role of Sam Rappaportin May 2001. Sam is a high-powered defense attorney whose challenging legal cases are never quite as complicated as his relationships with his manipulative ex-wife, Lindsay or the love of his life, Nora.

In addition to his daytime success, Lau has guest starred on numerous television series such as "Frasier," "Martial Law," "Diagnosis Murder" and "Jag." He also starred in the films "Finders Keepers," "Dare," "Fortune Seller" and "Return to the Secret Garden."
Lau was born in Long Beach, California and raised in Lake Oswego, Oregon. He began his college years at Columbia University and then transferred to Utah's Brigham Young University, where he decided on a career in theater. A move to Hollywood resulted in many television series guest appearances before Lau landed his "All My Children" role.
