Anders Hove was born on January 16th, 1956, in Greenland, where his mother, a nurse, and father, a meteorologist, shaped his early life. His father's political involvement in Greenland played a significant role in the country's development towards its current government. As a child, Anders spent most of his years in Greenland before moving to Thisted, Denmark with his parents at the age of 14.
Anders' academic background is marked by a mix of disciplines. Before pursuing a career in acting, he studied law and economics, with plans to take over his father's business. However, his passion for acting eventually led him to attend the Royal Academy in Denmark in the 1970s. This marked the beginning of his formal training in acting.
In 1980, Anders married Ann Thayer Crosset, an American dancer and choreographer, and they have two sons together, Anders Ezra and Elliot Todd. This union also led to his entry into the American entertainment industry.
Anders' first notable movie role was in the Danish film "In the Middle of the Night" (1984),where he played the character Nalle. He worked extensively in Denmark as a stage and screen actor before deciding to venture into the American market. He and his wife sold their belongings and relocated to the United States, where he landed roles in shows like "Tales From the Crypt" and the sci-fi movie "Critters 4" (1992),in which he played the character Rick, the captain of a ship infested with critters.
Anders is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the villainous character Cesar Faison on the daytime soap opera "General Hospital." He also worked on the Canadian soap opera "Family Passions" alongside his General Hospital co-star and friend Kin Shriner. Michael Watson, another General Hospital co-star, suggested that Anders play the role of Radu Vladislas, a vampire, in the Full Moon movie "Subspecies" (1991). Anders went on to appear in three sequels to the movie during the 1990s, playing the infamous character Radu.
In the mid-1990s, Anders returned to Denmark and continued to act, becoming a favorite among the "Dogme"-directors, often playing the role of the bad guy.
