Favorite Thing About Playing A Dad? “I became friends with Lexie
[Stevenson, Mattie] and Noah [Alexander Gerry, Charlie] outside of just being
their TV dad, and actually guiding them and giving them advice about life
off camera. I think being a dad in real life allowed me to bring that level of
understanding to the character when Cane’s kids were having problems, like
the way he would talk to them and embrace them or love them.”Favorite Thing About The
Late Jeanne Cooper (ex-
Katherine)? “She would
call it how it is and she
cussed like a truck driver.
She was amazing and the
heart of the show. She’s
greatly missed.”
Favorite Thing About
Bryton James (Devon)? “He
is loyal to the core. I could
trust him with my life. He’s
my son Ford’s godfather.”
Favorite Thing About
Your Dressing Room? “It
used to be Jeanne’s room,
so every day I walk in, I say,
‘Hi, Jeanne,’ and ‘Good-
bye, Jeanne,” when I leave. I
still feel her presence there.
I haven’t changed a thing in
that room. I left it exactly
how it was.”
Favorite thing About The Late Kristoff
St. John (ex-Neil)? “He’d give you the shirt
off his back. And you wouldn’t even have
to ask him if you needed it. He’d know and
he’d just give it to you. He was that giving.”ALBERTL.
