This is not a showman's job. I will not step out of character.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd rather win than be a showman.
I don't see my show as a stepping stone to something else like some people, who get a job then have a foot out the door looking for their next job.
There are not that many jobs as an actor where you don't get to know what your character will be doing from episode to episode.
I would do anything to keep looking the job. I think you make an extra effort if you're on show.
After doing this, going away, trying other things and working on other shows, this character, and working within Days of Our Lives, has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career.
My only job as an actor is to try and understand the character and, to the best of my ability, bring this character to life.
Acting is my job.
Fortunately and unfortunately, people don't see me as a character actor. They see me as a leading man or nothing, which makes it really hard to get work.
It is my job to step into different characters.
No matter what the role, you're trying to do the impossible - make a living in show business.
