Almost at minute 50 into the interview and I got to wondering about him and Jane. If they get along in real life they sure are great at making the hate between them real on screen!

Yeah, I would have followed up but he was pressed for time, so I did what I could. At 2 hrs the interview wd have been better and more in depth but I covered a load of stuff in the time he gave me.

Thanks, Cosmo. I enjoyed it.
He was both open and diplomatic. I'd never heard that point about the writer's strike and it's impact on soaps/GH. That was an interesting insight.
I had to laugh about the question on fan reactions. I have relatives who went to school with him in New Castle, and when I was in high school/college, I would look for him around town every time I visited. I know I wouldn't have "confused" him with AJ, but I do suspect I might have embarrassed one or both of us if I had run into him back then.

Hey Cosmo, good interview. The Jewish and Trump questions seemed a little jolting, but he comes across as articulate and amiable. Could have spent an hour listening to him just on GH backstage stuff but I'm sure he's too discreet to tell tales out of school.
And my God, the man in ageless. I thought I looked pretty good for 50 but damn. There must be a portrait in the attic.

Had I had 2 hrs I may have probed a bit more re: Carlivati and some other stuff, as well as his indy film stuff, but I had to condense my original q's plus also try to be broad- I asked 4 or 5 q's from the other thread.

Yeah, I understand. And I think one of them was mine. I met him once, through work, in NYC around 1996-97. He was very nice and I remember feeling embarrassed because I'm sure he knew I recognized him as a fan of GH rather just simply knowing who he was professionally. Same thing happened when I met Andrea Martin and called her Edith Prickley.

Still trying to get Robin Riker. Next week I have a throwback actress from the 70s: Melanie Chartoff!

I remember her. Sort of a cross between SNL's Radner and Newman only on Fridays.

Well, if you're taking requests I'd also love to see Stella Stevens before she goes. If she's willing, there's gotta be a lot of stories she can tell from Presley to Poseidon to Flamingo Road and ultimately GH as "Jake".

Actually sent to her listed agent w no takers. Folks in their 70s or older are hard to get cuz their info is outdated and rarely have they a website to contact them, and SAG no longer gives out agent info.

Good interview. I'm glad there are some actors willing to do long form interviews, even if only an hour.
I'm sorry I don't speak computer-ebonics, please type in English.

I'd've had longer but he said he was called in to do some filming that morning.

Have you tried getting Jackie Zeman or Rebecca Herbst? I've seen several interviews with Zeman and she seems to love being interviewed and loves talking about GH.

JZ's online agent info is outdated, and Reb H has a website w her hubby but no one ever seems to answer.

Could you contact JZ though the show itself? As for Stella, maybe you could reach out through her son Andrew he's supposed to be a successful producer. Or through one of her fan sites, I believe she does conventions.

I've never gotten a reply from the GH contact folks. I think they are not keen w their actors going on to smaller venues unscripted, so likely they don't pass on, or there are just too many fan contacts that it gets lost.
Actors w websites of their own have a much higher response rate.
