“Maurice [Benard, Sonny, GH] is The Godfather. He is deceptively funny.”
«Matthew Atkinson

«Thorsten Kaye (Ridge): “Thorsten is a very commanding presence on set and I paid a lot of attention to him. I wanted to learn from this guy. I paid very close attention to how he gets into a scene: how he is during rehearsal, how he preps. He is someone I would like to draw from and learn from. Even in his body language and how he conducts himself on set is some
