Way back in 2002, for four years Hartley played the character of Nicholas Foxworth “Fox” Crane on NBC/DirecTV soap opera ‘Passions’. After that, he was cast in the pilot for ‘Aquaman’ as the aquatic superhero himself, unfortunately, it never went anywhere. Luckily for Hartley, he found a spot as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on the very popular Superman show ‘Smallville’.
Between 2014-2016, Hartley played the role of Adam Newman on ‘The Young and the Restless’. His portrayal of the baddie with a heart earned him a Daytime Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Lead Actor category. Not bad for only a few years! After he had to leave the show, it was presumed Adam had died in an explosion.
