Yes, I’d prefer a filet mignon with a peppercorrn/burgundy sauce, but one can’t always land the interesting guest star spot on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia (God I want to do that show!) or Mad Men (I will do this show one day). Sometimes, an actor has to just roll around in some gorgonzola.
Case in point: The Bold And The Beautiful. I am thankful for the gig. Paid for 3 episodes, shot it in a day. I love to work. This time on the show (my fourth!) I play a Minister called… um, Minister. Yes, that kind of Minister. I marry Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan for their 27th time. I had a butt-load of dialogue that served as voice over, really. Essentially, I have now memorized an actual wedding ceremony. So, if any of you out there would like a Christian wedding without much Jesus or God, I’m your man – Minister, I mean.
Now, if you dare to watch below, here is something to look for; At the ending a horse is supposed to be galloping up to the house. I was directed to look around as though it was getting louder. Apparently this note didn’t make it to the editor, because there’s nothing to hear – no horsie… But I’m looking around because I have bionic hearing. Also, I delivered the last line underplayed. I thought that would be funny. They asked me to go as big as I could. I kinda hesitated and the rest of the cast sorta debated the wisdom of the direction (I love them), but were overruled. I am an actor and must please everybody or I may not be loved. So I went big. Oh, did I go big…
