Theodore William King (born October 1, 1965 in Hollywood, California) is an American actor, formally credited as T.W. King.

He was first known for playing Danny Roberts on the soap opera Loving in 1995-March 1997 (later re-titled The City) until the show went off the air in March 1997. He later starred on the short lived Timecop series on ABC in the fall of 1997.

The next year he appeared as the major male leading co-star in the primetime series Charmed as detective Andy Trudeau and the nascent burgeoning franchise around it as the series began its eight season run chronicling the adventurous lives of the three Halliwell sister-witches, the "Charmed Ones". King's character Andy, with a background as their childhood friend plays a senior detective (Inspector) who helps the sisters cover up complications of 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 in that series, the first season's major male love interest of the Charmed franchise cast opposite the leading actress, Shannen Doherty (playing Prue Halliwell) as Inspector Andy Trudeau during the whole first season (22 episodes) from the October 1998 pilot to the May 1999 finale, where his character nobly knowingly-sacrificed himself in the season finale to save his love and her sisters from an otherwise insolvable magical dilemma.

In 2002, King returned to soaps as Luis Alcazar on General Hospital for a few months in 2002 until his character was murdered by Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). In 2003, he returned to General Hospital as Luis' twin brother, Lorenzo Alcazar, a powerful, well connected and shady mobster/tycoon. King exited the role in 2007, when the character was killed. He is sometimes credited as T. W. King.

He has had guest-starring roles on such series as Frasier, Sex and the City and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, among many others.

His feature film credits include The X-Files movie and a role in the independent feature film “Hoodlum & Son.”

King was born in Hollywood, California, and raised in both Los Angeles and Bethesda, Maryland. He received his college degree from The University of California, Santa Barbara, and went on to study film direction at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. He has worked in film editing and been involved in New York Theater over the past several years. King is credited with co-founding the Portal Theater Company, an off-Broadway repertory company, where he directed “Beggars in the House of Plenty,” written by John Patrick Shanley.

Off-screen King is active in various charitable organizations, including The Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In December 2008, King was cast as the mysterious character Downey on the hit series Prison Break, making his first appearance on December 22. The role lasted until the end of the season (May 2009).
