General Hospital star Evan Hofer opened up about playing Dex on the hit ABC soap. Here’s what he has to say!
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, the handsome actor was asked about his newfound popularity and whether or not he gets recognized whenever he is out and about. Evan said, “ I actually got stopped at the Green Day concert I went to in Arizona recently! That was so fun. I was actually with a buddy of mine who had also seen me get stopped [by a fan] at Costco, so he thinks it happens all the time [laughs].”
He also said that the General Hospital fanbase is nothing less than amazing. He said, “They are so wonderful and kind and supportive and I just love how much they care about the show.”
Now, as far as what is his favorite thing about playing Dex, Evan explained, “My audition scenes were these fake sides where he was being a bad guy mobster. And I was like, ‘Okay, that’s kinda cool. I’d love to play a bad guy.’ But in my first scenes with Maurice, we learned that Dex is a veteran, and my favorite thing about Dex is learning all his different layers and seeing who he is with different people. With Josslyn, he’s able to let his guard down and be vulnerable and you can kind of tell that he’s never had someone he can be so open with and it’s kind of foreign to him, and he’s resistant to it at first, but then he gives in to it. I like getting to see him learn how to let people in.”
He also said that he became fast friends with none other than Maurice Benard. He said, “Maurice [Benard, Sonny], easy. From day one, he has been an incredible mentor and friend to me. I cherish my time with Mo. The other day we went and got smoothies and I just love chatting with him and hanging out with him. Eden [McCoy, Josslyn] and I are great friends, too, because we spend so much time together. She’s incredible and great to hang out with.”
