Dimitri Marick is a fictional character from the ABC daytime drama All My Children, a long running soap opera set in the fictional city Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. Former Dynasty star Michael Nader originated the character. Anthony Addabbo took over the role on April 6, 2001, and played Dimitri until July 9, 2001. Agnes Nixon and Lorraine Broderick created the part in 1991, twenty-one years after the series debuted. They designed Dimitri as a brooding and mysterious character based on heroes from gothic literature such as Maxim de Winter from Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and Wuthering Heights's Heathcliff. The character's introduction raised All My Children in the Nielsen ratings and saved the highly criticized Natalie and Janet storyline.

Soon after his debut on the show, Dimitri became a complex leading man and took part in some of the most notable plots of the 1990s. Those stories included popular romances with Susan Lucci's Erica Kane and Finola Hughes's Alexandra Devane Marick as well as a loving yet antagonistic fraternal relationship with John Callahan's Edmund Grey.

Nader's two firings and arrest brought him and the character to the center of a large fan campaign organized by a group called the Loyalists, as well as a highly publicized lawsuit catching the attention of People and Entertainment Tonight among other media outlets. In 2004, Nader's suit was subsequently thrown out.

He's certainly a man who wants to be in control. He's a very strong man, he's a very passionate man. He's had a troubled, tragic background, and is just beginning to come out into the world again after being quite reclusive for the past fifteen years. He is guarded, and he plays everything close to the vest. He is very slow to let other people in- except Natalie, with whom he feels a special and unique bond, because he rescued her and because he fell in love with her very quickly, which we hope will be part of the mystery.

Dimitri Marick has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
