As for the actor who plays Felix, Marc Anthony Samuel is currently having a great autumn. He appears in the number-one movie and the number-one TV show on Netflix.
Mr. Netflix
Samuel has taken advantage of the fact that his GH character is rarely seen these days. Recently, he showed up in a couple of Netflix projects that required him to share scenes with Ted Danson, Britt Robertson, and Chad Michael Murray among others.
The Merry Gentlemen
‘Tis the season to watch a million holiday movies, and Netflix is one of the best sources for those feel-good films, especially those of the spicy variety. In The Merry Gentlemen, Samuel plays Rodger, who’s married to Marla Sokoloff’s Marie, the sister of Ashley, the Broadway dancer who returns home to save her parents’ small-town nightclub. Ashley comes up with a Christmas-themed revue featuring shirtless male dancers who spread the joy of the holidays with their abs and their dance moves.
