BOYS WILL BE BOYS
Y&R’S Mark Grossman (Adam) has found an on-set buddy in TV son Judah Mackey (Connor). “We get along really well and I love working with him,” the actor enthuses. “We hit if off right away. That kid is so prepared when he shows up, he even knows everyone else’s lines. If you forget your line, you know he knows what it is. He loves working as an actor. His mother is always on the set and she’s also great to be around. Some kids are pushed into it by their parents, but that’s not the case with him. He’s almost 9 and very focused.” Creating the father/son vibe for the camera has helped Grossman in his real life. “I feel like I’m learning to be a dad on the show,” he smiles. “I don’t have any kids of my own, so it’s been really nice to play a dad and explore what that’s like. I want to have kids one day, so it’s nice to have Judah there in the meantime. We’re always goofing around. If there are toys on the set or a soccer ball or football, we like to play around while we’re waiting for setup, so we have a lot of fun. We’ll talk about his life, like school and what projects he’s working on. We also like to parade around the set and say our dialogue. We have fun together.”
