General Hospital has seen a few actors leave the show in recent months, like Kelly Monaco, Chad Duell, and Charles Mesure. But other actors have joined the ensemble including Chris McKenna, Van Hansis, and Bryce Durfee. Now there’s a new player in Port Charles: Adrian Anchondo. Let’s take a look at the actor’s career and who he’s playing.
He’s Got Dark Secrets
Adrian Anchondo has been in several TV shows over the years including The Rookie, Law & Order: Organized Crime, and FBI: Most Wanted among many others. According to TV Insider, Anchondo is now on contract with Gh and will play a lawyer named Marco (not to be confused with con artist Marco Dane played by Gerald Anthony in the 1980s and 90s). Anchondo told the outlet that while his new character can be “sweet and charming,” he also has some “dark secrets.
