If Cross looks familiar to you, it might be because he appeared on the OWN primetime soap Ambitions. He has also appeared in five episodes of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things and the reboot of The Wonder Years on ABC. He will also make an appearance on the January 17 episode of Will Trent, also on ABC.

For now, Cross will reportedly appear on GH on a recurring basis.
