There's good new for fans of Emmy winner
Rick Hearst (
Ric Lansing). The actor has just signed a new contract with the show.
"I've signed on for three more years," Hearst announced. "I want to see this character continue to evolve. I love this show and I have high hopes for what's ahead for this character."
General Hospital is Hearst's latest stop in his impressive career in daytime television. The actor made his soap debut in 1989 as
Scotty Banning on NBC's
Days of our Lives. In 1990, Hearst changed networks and began an award-winning six-year stint on CBS's
Guiding Light. As
Alan-Michael Spaulding on Guiding Light, Hearst earned three
Daytime Emmy nominations, winning the Outstanding Young Man (now called Outstanding Younger Actor) trophy in 1991. The actor then tackled the role of the evil
Matt Clark on top-rated
The Young and the Restless from 2000 to 2001, followed by a short stint as
Whip Jones on
The Bold and the Beautiful in 2002.
Hearst made his debut on General Hospital in 1992. Two years later he was named Outstanding Supporting Actor at the Daytime Emmys and he picked up another nomination in the same category this past year.
Hearst also appears in the direct-to-video release of "Carpool Guy," which is available for purchase now.
