Stephen A. Smith Shoots a Nurse in His Latest 'General Hospital' Appearance

Smith has acted in over 40 episodes of the soap opera, but his most recent appearance turned violent.

Stephen A. Smith took a break from sharing his hot takes to shoot a crooked nurse in a recent episode of General Hospital.

Smith has shown up in over 40 episodes of the long-running soap opera, first making a cameo as a reporter in 2007 before taking on the recurring role of Brick from 2016 onward. But the latest appearance of Brick has a lot of fans talking.

On the April 28 episode of the ABC series, Smith's character stopped by the hospital to save the life of mob boss Sonny, portrayed by Maurice Benard.

A woman disguised as a nurse was seconds away from injecting something into Sonny's bloodstream when Brick showed up and asked to see some ID. She briefly played it cool, but he knew exactly what was coming as she pulled a gun on him.

Without saying a word, Brick shot from the hip and took her out. "Yeah, I got a body here you guys might be interested in," he said after shooting the nurse.

On the latest installment of First Take, Smith and his co-hosts reacted to the dramatic moment. They were left in stitches, especially because of the "no-look shot" that he delivered. He said he didn't rehearse for the scene at all and revealed that he's set to appear on an episode of Law & Order soon.
