Is Matt Cohen Bringing Dr. Griffin Munro Back To General Hospital?

Matt Cohen has been acting since 2005 and has appeared in several shows including "NCIS: Los Angles," "90210," and "Criminal Minds." He became a fan favorite when he made three appearances as the young John Winchester on the hit show "Supernatural" and even directed an episode of the show. But it was his role as Dr. Griffin Munro on "General Hospital" that made him a soap opera star.

According to Soap Central, Dr. Griffin Munro was also a priest who had taken time away from that vocation to answer his medical calling. He came to Port Charles and it was revealed that he was the son of Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) and was born before Duke came to town and fell in love with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). Griffin had a few secrets beyond being a priest but eventually worked himself into Anna's good graces so he could learn more about his father. He previously had an affair with Claudette Beaulieu (Bree Williamson) and believed he was the father of her daughter, Charlotte, who turned out to be Valentin Cassadine's child instead.

After the death of Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin), Griffin felt the need to put the past behind him and leave Port Charles. Cohen went on to pursue other projects, including becoming a reporter for Entertainment Tonight (via Soap Hub).
