"Working on GH has been nothing short of an incredible, fast-paced experience," Appel shared. "Everyone is very professional; they're on top of every intricate part of this very established, well-oiled machine, and I'm just trying to keep up and not halt the process in any way."
The actor went on to praise the welcoming environment behind the scenes at General Hospital.
"So many of the cast and crew have gone out of their way to welcome me, and I am immensely grateful for how simple and easy this transition has been," he added. "I owe it all to them. They know what they're doing, and I hope to learn as much as I can and add to the show, to the best of my ability."
Appel brings several credits to the role. According to his official website, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theater and Communications from Muhlenberg College. His previous work includes appearances in Finding Master Right and Menflix, as well as starring in a music video for Hayley Orrantia's song, "Find Yourself Somebody."
