Fans of General Hospital have always been accustomed to mafia-related storylines. Soon, however, the show is bringing in some big names from the organized crime circuit. According to Soapcentral.com, Vincent Pastore has signed on to join the long-running soap as a mob boss.
Best known for his stint on HBO's award-winning series The Sopranos, Pastore returns to his mob roots after years of portraying Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero. On General Hospital, he'll be playing the character named Maximus Giambetti, a big-time mob boss who is frustrated to learn that his firstborn son, Max, is not following in his footsteps. Apparently, the younger Max is presently a bodyguard for a mob boss instead of actually being a mob boss.
