'''Theodore William King''' (born October 1, 1965) is an American actor, previously credited as '''T. W. King''', best known for starring as [[Andy Trudeau]] on the hit-series ''[[Charmed]]'' during its first season.

==Career==
He was first known for playing Danny Roberts on the [[soap opera]] ''[[Loving (TV series)|Loving]]'' and ''[[The City (1995 TV series)|The City]]''.<ref name=sod>{{cite web|url=http://www.soapoperadigest.com/ted-king-bio|title=Ted King Bio|work=Soap Opera Digest|publisher=American Media Inc|access-date=1 April 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111122141050/http://soapoperadigest.com/ted-king-bio|archive-date=22 November 2011}}</ref>

The next year he appeared as the major male leading co-star in the primetime series ''[[Charmed]]'' as detective [[List of Charmed characters#Trudeau, Andy|Andy Trudeau]] and the burgeoning, soon-to-be-eight-year franchise around it as the series began its first season run chronicling the adventurous lives of the three [[List of Charmed characters#Halliwell, Allen|Halliwell sister-witches]], the "[[Charmed Ones]]". King's character Andy, with a background as their childhood friend, is an inspector who helps the sisters cover up complications of [[List of major villains in Charmed|supernatural villains]] and magic's side effects as their new-found witch powers grow and attract evil hoping to absorb their magical abilities. He was the first season's major male love interest of the leading actress, [[Shannen Doherty]] (playing [[Prue Halliwell]]), from the October 1998 pilot to the May 1999 finale, where his character nobly sacrificed himself in the season finale to save his love and her sisters from an otherwise insoluble magical dilemma.

In 2002, King returned to soaps as [[Luis Alcazar]] on ''[[General Hospital]]'' until his character was killed off. However, he later returned to ''General Hospital'' as Luis' identical younger brother, [[Lorenzo Alcazar]].<ref name=sod/>
