Who is Daniel Cosgrove? Everything to know as the actor joins General Hospital

Daniel Cosgrove is an American actor, who has recently joined the cast of General Hospital as politician Ezra Boyle. He was born on December 16, 1970, in New Haven Connecticut, and graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1989.

As Daniel Cosgrove prepares to head to Port Charles, he is expected to make his debut on the ABC soap opera on March 21, 2025. He spoke about joining General Hospital during an interview with TV Insider, released on March 20, 2025. Cosgrove said:

"They asked if I'd be interested in this new character and I said, absolutely. They told me a little bit about him, and one or two people I'd be working with, but they kind of kept things tightlipped. Now, I probably have been filming for the past month and a half."

When asked about what to expect from his character, Cosgrove shared that Ezra Boyle is a "consummate politician" and his storyline will shake things up in Port Charles. He mentioned:

"At first, he seems to be aligning with Drew Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) and there's some shenanigans going on, but the character is kind of mixing it up with a lot of the cast, from Genie Francis, Mayor Collins, to the Quartermaines, to just kind of creating a little bit of a thorn in the side to some of the good folk of Port Charles."

Cosgrove also described his Boyle's characteristics:

"He comes across as maybe a little arrogant and full of himself, but it's definitely been fun so far. I'm working with such a fantastic cast."

Daniel Cosgrove's fans can catch a glimpse of him in popular projects such as Billions, Blue Bloods, Almost Family, The Blacklist, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, You, and The Forgotten.
