b'Daniel Benzali joins the cast of ABC\'s long-running and mutli-Emmy Award winning GENERAL HOSPITAL in the recurring role of Theo, a hypochondriac patient who befriends Dr. Robin Scorpio.

Benzali was a theatre actor before making guest-starring roles on television series
such as Star Trek: The Next Generation, The X-Files, NYPD Blue and L.A. Law.
Because Steven Bochco was so impressed with Benzali\'s performance on the
long-running NBC series, he cast him in the lead role of his 1995 series Murder One,
playing attorney Ted Hoffman. For this role he was nominated for a Golden Globe
award.

In addition, Benzali starred on the series The Agency, and in films such as By
Dawn\'s Early Light (1990), Murder at 1600 (1997) and The Grey Zone (2001). He also
appeared in the post-apocalyptic CBS series Jericho as the enigmatic former
Department of Homeland Security director Thomas Valente. Most recently he starred in
the FX television series "Nip/Tuck" as the main character\'s psychotherapist and
later patient, Dr. Griffin.

On the stage, he portrayed Juan Peron in the London cast of Evita, and played faded
film director Max von Mayerling, alongside Patti LuPone, in the original cast (1993)
of Andrew Lloyd Webber\'s Sunset Boulevard. Benzali had previously appeared on
Broadway in Fiddler on the Roof, and other smaller productions.'
