Anthony Geary I've always loved Tony. Besides the fact that he is a great actor, I respect the fact that he has paved the way for the rest of us to have jobs. He's very giving to the actors he is working with and is admired by the entire cast.
Laura Wright I've known Laura a long time but I don't watch other shows, so I didn't know her work. I love working with her. We have a great chemistry as Jason and Carly and we get along off camera really well - it's like brother and sister. I think that comes through on screen. She's a consummate professional, makes everything work. She's the hardest working woman in show business. She knows her stuff all the time. I don't have to prepare to work with her because it's always in the moment.
Maurice Benard Recently someone sent me a link to You Tube and I was watching a scene Maurice and I did before he left the show when we were both younger. It brought back so many memories. Life imitates art. He took me under his wing in real life and on the show. He saw something in me and took the time to teach me. Paula and his family, I love them. I was a single guy at the time and I spent a lot of time over there. There are a few people who make a big impact on your life and he was one guy who did. It's not often where you can have a mentor so close to you that you work with and spend time with. Those people are hard to find in life. I owe everything to him.
Rick Hearst I call Rick "The Magician." I tell him 'You can get out of anything.' He's such a good actor, he can escape anything his character does. I've grown to become very good friends with Rick. He's a great guy. I've really gotten to know Rick and the type of person he is through Mona Vie. He's an exceptional guy. Another guy who would do absolutely anything for you. He's gracious and he's definitely a leader. The guy's got great passion for life.
Brandon Barash Brandon has talent and he's very funny and does great impressions. We have a great time at work. I really got to know him better on a New York trip. I can definitely see him becoming a good friend of mine -- if we hang out more and he loves football. He'll be on the show for a long time! |
Derk Cheetwood He's one of my best friends and one of the funniest guys I know. We've had great laughs. We were room mates for a couple of years and it was probably one of the best times of my life. I wish we had more scenes together. He's a good actor.
Bradford Anderson What an exceptional actor. The things he does with that character amazes me. We are very spontaneous in our scenes together; he's great to work with. Bradford is like my little brother now. I look after him and I'm protective over him. He's really a great kid. He wouldn't hurt a fly!
Tyler Christopher I met Tyler and that's how I met Derk. We all hung out a lot. All three of us are from Ohio so we all grew up the same way. We have the same values. There are guys you can be separated from or don't talk to but when you talk again everything is the same. Tyler's one of those guys. He's a guy I can count on. I can say "hey I need this" and he would be there. It's great to have him as a friend and it's great to have him on the show.
