General Hospital Star Maurice Benard Headed To The Big Screen

Maurice Benard’s career is once again on fire! The General Hospital actor has begun filming scenes for his new movie, Equal Standard. Maurice, who plays Sonny in Port Charles, will be starring in the movie alongside rapper-turned-actor Ice-T.

According to new reports, Maurice is currently in New York City on the set of the film. The movie is about a group of New York City police officers and how their lives collide in interweaving stories of race, rank, loss, and betrayal. The film also stars Robert Clohessy, Fredro Starr, Tobias Truvillion, Anthony ‘Treach’ Criss, and more.

Now, as far as those who are worried that the film might take away from Maurice’s time in Port Charles, don’t worry. The actor plans on pulling double duty in the next several weeks.
