ABC ‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers reveal while there are very few people that would argue that Sonny Corinthos is a legend in the daytime television world, actor Maurice Benard says that it took a lot of work to get his character to where he is today. The ‘General Hospital’ star recently admitted that he uses a specific acting method in order to bring out the best – and sometimes even the worst – in Sonny. Here’s what you need to know.
The handsome actor told Soaps in Depth in a new interview, “When I played Nico on All My Children and Desi in ‘Lucy & Desi: Before The Laughter,’ I didn’t know what I was going. I didn’t have technique, but I had talent, emotions and instincts.” The actor says that’s when he decided to hire a coach that helped him train in Method Acting. This allows actors to use emotion-oriented techniques rather than action-based.
