CHARACTER STUDY: Dominic Zamprogna (Dante, GH)

What do you like best about the character?

I feel like he's always been super-loyal and I've always liked that about him. He's always been trustworthy and someone who's got your back. He's solid. He's kind of like the glue.

What do you dislike about him?

I don't know how worldly he is. I think sometimes he thinks he knows more than he actually does. His ego - he can maybe be too cocky and arrogant.

What do you consider to be Dante's signature storyline?

Definitely the story of where he came from, which wasn't on camera — the fact that he was raised by a single mom, with not a lot, I think made him loyal and trustworthy and street-smart. Finding out who his father was, and then having his father shoot him, was pretty big, too [laughs]! And in recent years, the thing that has really defined him is when I left the show and he got captured and had to deal with PTSD. That defines who he is now and the places his life has gone and his decision to get back into law enforcement and to move on with a new person in his life and all that. That's all been dictated by the trauma he's been through, which I think has humbled him and gotten him to slow down a little bit.

Who would Dante be most likely to turn to for advice?

Everyone is so messed up, I don't know! Probably his mother.

How do you imagine Dante spends his downtime?

Making sweet love to Sam!

What life event has had the biggest impact on Dante's evolution?
