Beyond TV, Mazza has appeared in a number of independent films over the years, several of which showcased his incredible violin skills, including Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake).
Since joining General Hospital in 2024, Mazza has appeared in over 130 episodes as Gio Palmieri. He quickly became a fan favorite and a fresh face to watch both in daytime and beyond.
