Whether fans know it or not, some of today’s biggest stars got their start on soap operas, including ‘General Hospital.’ One of the longest running soap operas still on TV, ‘General Hospital’ became the place where stars like Demi Moore, Mark Hamill, and more got their start and sky-rocketed into superstardom. Some famous stars from today even pivoted to the soap opera to do something different in their career. Like James Franco, who joined the cast between 2009-2012, at the point in his career where he earned his very first Oscar nomination! Ever iconic stars of the ‘70s and ‘80s like Mark Hamill, best known for his performance as Luke Skywalker in the ‘Star Wars’ films, got his start on the soap before traveling to a galaxy far, far away. Some musical performers also got their start on the soap. Ricky Martin had his first brush with stardom as a singer and bartender on the show, before pivoting back to music but making time later in his career for more acting roles.
