Services set for 'One Life to Live' actor Nathaniel Marston.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Services have been set for soap opera actor Nathaniel Marston, who died this week but was getting sober for a Hollywood comeback, his mother said.

"He was going to go back to LA. He'd gotten his sobriety back," his mother, Elizabeth Jackson, said Friday.

Marston was best-known for his role on ABC's "One Life to Live" from 2001 to 2007, first playing Al Holden, and then later reincarnated as Dr. Michael McBain. He also played Eddie Silva in CBS' "As the World Turns." IMDB.com listed his most recent roles in 2011.

Authorities said Marston died Wednesday at a Reno, Nevada, hospital after suffering critical injuries in an Oct. 30 crash on a state highway near Nixon.

Marston, who was from nearby Gerlach, was driving a 1985 Ford F-150 truck when it drifted across the lane, overturned multiple times and landed on the dirt shoulder. The actor wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. He was flown to the hospital with critical injuries.

The cause and manner of Marston's death were pending further investigation, said Rudy Bein from the Washoe County Medical Examiner and Coroner's Office.

Marston was a Connecticut native who grew up in Hawaii and California.
