Ask, and you shall receive -- at least when it comes to finding out just who the heck General Hospital's mysterious character, Landon Dixon, might be.

Fans of the ABC soap have been wondering who Paul Hornsby (Richard Burgi) has been reporting to during his cryptic phone calls, and they're about to find out: Canadian-born actor Troy Ruptash steps into the role on Thursday, February 18.

From what viewers have already gathered, Dixon is most definitely a villain. But just how much trouble he'll be bringing to Port Charles and how long he'll be on the canvas remains to be seen.

Ruptash, who used to be a competitive figure skater (um, maybe he and former Skating With the Stars champ Rebecca [Hayden Barnes] will hit it off!), previously appeared in shows like Firsts, Maron, The Mentalist, and Prison Break. He'll soon be appearing in HBO's upcoming mini-series, The Young Pope, opposite Jude Law, Diane Keaton, and former GH star Sebastian Roché (ex-Jerry Jacks).

For a sneak peek at Ruptash's first appearance in Port Charles, check out the GH promo for Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Julian's (William deVry) explosive wedding below. Dixon bursts into the fancy affair with a gun, and it's safe to say all hell breaks loose!
