Help GH star Evan Hofer celebrate his special day!
Times are tough for General Hospital‘s Dex Heller, what with his task to bring crime boss Sonny Corinthos to justice clouded by his growing affinity for his mark, but luckily things are looking decidedly brighter for performer Evan Hofer.
Happy Birthday, Evan Hofer!
And that’s because he was born on May 8, 1997, which means that this talented daytime neophyte is turning 26 years old today!
A native of Leavenworth, Kansas, Hofer found himself bitten by the performing bug while joining in on his older sister’s showbiz endeavors. And while she ultimately pursued a career in music, it was an actor’s life for Hofer.
He made his professional debut in the TV movie Everday Kid which was directed by Fred Savage of The Wonder Years fame.
His subsequent credits include guest appearances on Modern Family, The Haunted Hathaways, Swedish Dicks, and Sweet/Vicious, recurring roles on the Disney Channel series Kickin’ It and BYUtv’s Dwight in Shining Armor, and a starring part in the Tim Tebow executive-produced film Run the Race.
Since May 5, 2022, Hofer has played army vet Dex Heller on General Hospital, a character he nabbed after sending in a self-taped audition. Originally scheduled to appear no longer than three months, Hofer soon found his contract extended and his status upped to contract player.
