Soap opera fans may recall Jim Chevallier from the opening week of NBC's "Passions', in which he played a French doctor. Now a writer and actor, he spent years in the music business, hosting radio shows in the Boston-Cambridge area (WBZ-FM, WCAS and WBUR) while performing in clubs and festivals across New England and Europe. Having also been a carpenter in the Virgin Islands, a clothes buyer in Boston, a coin dealer in Paris and a programmer in New York, he now resides in North Hollywood, California.
