Finn Wittrock (born October 28, 1984) is an American actor best known for his role as Damon Miller on three seasons of "All My Children" (ABC/Hulu/OWN, 1970-2013). Having grown up in a theater-obsessed family in Massachusetts and Los Angeles, Wittrock began studying acting on his own after high school, and enrolled in the drama program at New York's prestigious Juilliard School. It wasn't long before he began landing guest spots on shows like "Cold Case" (CBS, 2003-2010), "ER" (NBC, 1994-2009), and "CSI: Miami" (CBS, 2002-2012), all while honing his craft by acting in plays in and around New York and Los Angeles. His big break came in 2009 when he was cast as the young Casanova Damon Miller on "All My Children." Wittrock appeared as the Miller character for three seasons on the show, before returning to the stage in 2012. This time, however, he would be starring alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman in a Mike Leigh-directed revival of "Death of a Salesman." The revival received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with Wittrock receiving much of the praise for his performance as Harold "Happy" Loman. After the play wrapped up in the spring of 2012, Wittrock returned to screen acting, appearing in a recurring role as Dale in the 1950s period drama "Masters of Sex" (Showtime 2013- ), as well as supporting roles in the big-budget epic "Noah" (2014) and "Winter's Tale" (2014). 2014 was also the year Wittrock appeared in the HBO movie "The Normal Heart," as well as an episode of "American Horror Story" (FX, 2011- ), thus allowing him to work with writer/director/producer Ryan Murphy on two separate projects in the same year.

"Riders on the Storm: The Jim Morrison Story" chronicles the turbulent life of Jim Morrison, the enigmatic frontman of The Doors, whose rise to fame in the 1960s captured the spirit of an era while spiraling into a chaotic, self-destructive journey. The film explores Morrison's deep connection to poetry, music, and his inner demons, painting a portrait of a man who both embraced and rejected fame. Through his tumultuous relationship with Pamela Courson, the band's creative tensions, and his battle with excess, the story delves into Morrison's complex identity as an artist, lover, and rebel. As Morrison's fame grows, so does his inner conflict. From his early days as a free-spirited student to his evolution into a rock icon, the film takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of his life, leading to his tragic and untimely death at the age of 27. "Riders on the Storm" is not only a biographical account of a legend but also a meditation on the price of fame, the struggle for self-identity, and the haunting legacy of one of rock's greatest voices.
