From the Archive: Anthony Geary Interview (2010)

We Love Soaps spoke with legendary actor Anthony Geary in October 2010 about his long and illustrious career in theater, television and film. Geary first burst onto the national scene in an episode of All in the Family where he guest-starred with Philip Carey. He appeared on a number of primetime shows in the 1970s and had roles on Bright Promise and The Young and the Restless before landing his most famous role to date - Luke Spencer on General Hospital. He is returning to his musical theater roots in a new show, "Into the Woods," that is running in Los Angeles through November 20. In our exclusive two-part interview, Geary talks about the musical as well as some of the highlights from his career.

Part 1 - Geary discusses his first professional break ("The Subject Was Roses"), his All in the Family classic episode, his early soap roles and landing what was intended to be the short-term role of Luke Spencer on General Hospital.

Part 2 - Geary shares his thoughts on his new play, "Into the Woods," dealing with fame at the height of the GH phenomenon in the early 1980s, how the character of Luke had helped him out, writing prose and the changing landscape of television and the web.
