Hutton’s General Hospital Role
General Hospital’s Hutton played Lenny, the husband of Phyllis Caulfield (Joyce Guy) and co-owner of the Tan-O. Lenny and Phyllis helped Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to find his way when he showed up as Mike in Nixon Falls, PA. Of course, Phyllis thought that Lenny only had a heart condition and took him to the doctor to discover that he was dying from cancer. Lenny was leery of Sonny at first but quickly warmed up to him. Phyllis helped Sonny to get on his medication and kept him in check. Lenny would have been devastated if he knew what happened to the Tan-O after his death.
Hutton has an extensive repertoire of guest appearances in movies and on television. Hutton will certainly bring his all to his NCIS role. Will Hutton’s character be instrumental in solving a murder this time? Perhaps Hutton will play a big-time Marine sleuth.
