'General Hospital' Interview: Richard Burgi Says Paul Hornsby Is A Good Guy, Dishes On His 'GH' Co-Stars‘General Hospital’ actor Richard Burgi [Paul Hornsby] doesn’t think of his character as a villain. Burgi opened up in a discussion with Soaps in Depth about playing shifty District Attorney Paul Hornsby and shared his thoughts on a few of his co-stars.

Burgi joined GH in 2015 on a recurring basis. When Paul first arrived in Port Charles he was on a mission to win Tracy [Jane Elliott] back and fix his relationship with his son Dillon [Robert Palmer Watkins]. As time progressed, Paul succeeded Scott Baldwin [Kin Shriner] as the new DA. It was at this point that a shady and shifty side of the DA was discovered.

“Everybody thought he was a bad guy and some still do,” Burgi tells Soaps In Depth. “But I always try to find the humanity in characters. Everybody’s got various shades and coloration to their being,” he added.

Burgi went on to applaud the work of Maura West [Ava Jerome] and Finola Hughes [Anna DeVane]. He thought they had highlights of the same shading people see in his character. He expressed that these two ladies are great at what they do saying both have a lot of range, being able to play the conflict, the good and the bad.
