Brazilian-Born Daniel Benzali of 'General Hospital'

Rio de Janeiro-born 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.
