AMC: TV Guide Canada Interview with Cam Mathison

[EricMontreal22]

My prob with pratt is in ALL his pat writing he seems to REALLY favour revolving around a group of youngish characters justlike we've gotten. I hope he breaks the mould.

TC i was actually refering to your comment about hims chasing girls (to put it politely) I know threads are often closed when people mention so and so may be gay so I thought the same could be true of this even tho it's not gay...

[TC]

Yeah. I tried to avoid using the "G" word as well. Anyway, gotta catch 40 winks. I work at 11pm, in .. 2hrs and 35 minutes? See ya.

[Skin]

I have a hard time buying that. Especially since Ryan/Gillian were just as if not more so as popular as Greenlee/Leo and Ryan/Kendell had a strong fanbase as well. I don't think that's why Cam left. Ryan had a very large fanbase back then one that could easily rivaled Leo's. No probably not as much. However back then I think they were more on equal footing.

[dragonflies]

Yeah but Gillian was dead and gone, and it definitely had to hurt that Josh came in and got so popular so fast and basically became a major leading man pratically overnight while it took Cam YEARS to become a leading man back then

[Skin]

I don't think that's accurate. Esta, Josh, Cam, Alicia and Rebecca all had to climb their way into being lead players and all of them became popular around the same time. 00-02 were their peak years in popularity. That was perhaps the last time period where the teen set on AMC were insanely popular and breeded majorly popular couples continuously. Cam did come on a year before Josh did but he was no less popular. If anything Gillian/Ryan may have arguablly been more popular then Greenlee/Leo and Cam had two incrediably popular couples under his belt: Gillian/Ryan and Kendell/Ryan. Their were soap columinst who even called him golden based on the fact that he was able to sell two couples falling in love so fast.

[All My Shadows]

That's exactly it. Ty comes off way too fake on that game show. When he and Lippa would host those ABC Soap Preview things, he seemed much more loose and relaxed. I don't think he should do anything scripted unless it's porn.

And I so do not believe that CamMat had/has any animosity towards Josh D. I think he left in 2002 for the same reason most actors and actresses of his then-age leave soaps. They want to try something else.

[Jonathan]

I doubt he will.

[R Sinclair]

Well you see... what I read somewhere was Josh accidentally highlighted Cam's script in yellow highlighter instead of pink one day while they were running lines... Cam flipped out, went to Jean Burke and quit right on the spot. I read it somewhere so it must be true. Don't ask me how I know, I just do, okay?

[EricMontreal22]

*rolls eyes*

[R Sinclair]

Tell me about it.

[althea-davis]

I like Cam myself. He's personable, friendly, hunky and not a bad actor IMO. I am more likely to root for him than JY or TK.
