Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 You famously disputed in this thread that he didn't take this job as a means of financial support, citing his upcoming projects on IMDB. Now he's openly admitted to TV Guide he took the job to help pay his bills... Ann's assumptions were spot on about many actors who wouldn't normally do daytime, doing it in this economic climate for money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 I like that he's not looking down on the industry either, that he wants everyone to have this good of a job. Makes me have alot of respect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted June 29, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2010 Just because one has bills to pay doesn't mean there's money problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 He also mentioned "other responsibilities" whatever that means. He obviously took that job because he needed the money, which I think of as money problems. If he didn't need the money, he probably wouldn't be doing the show at all and those other projects he had lined up would be enough to cover his bills.

Members Sylph Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 All the other issues aside that arose after Zendall's post, I find it really hard to believe that he would go out in public and say: I'm penniless. Yeah. And that of all the other gigs, I chose Y&R. It looks kind of... Like a spin. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's also summer, so he won't be getting guest star work in primetime shows, and films are hard to book during this time too, so daytime is realistically the only medium he can work on and get paid for during the summer. I don't think he had anything to gain by admitting publicly that he's doing Y&R for the money, but I too find it strange that he did. Not many would admit it, so he deserves credit for something...

Administrator Toups Posted June 29, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's a paying job. He's not making millions for the films he does, so why would he reject a source of income? He has bills to pay, look after his family, and keep up the lifestyle that he wants. More power to him for taking a job in daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 Comments like that are unnecessary. We soap fans can talk [!@#$%^&*] all we want about how lame the soaps have become but film actors need to keep that "slummin' it" crap to themselves. How insulting.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 And no one is disputing that he has bills to and responsibilities to take care of in life. Where are you getting that from? All that was being disputed was that he wasn't doing Y&R for strictly the money since had had a wealth of other projects lined up. But it proves the point that Ann was making, that actors too are feeling the brunt of the worst of the economy, have loads of expenses to take care of, and those who normally wouldn't do daytime for financial support are doing it now. Had this been 10 years ago, would he have taken this role? Most likely not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 I thought it was just me lol Clap clap clap clap, this prick's got himself a job. Does he want a cookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 ^ What comments? He said NOTHING bad. He also said he's proud of his soap history.......... unlike some movie stars(I'm looking at you Demi Moore/Meg Ryan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 "I'm a human being, living on Planet Earth, with responsibilities and bills to pay" Why should he have to defend himself like that? Would he ever make such a comment about accepting a primetime gig on any number of crap series? No. People only say stuff like that about doing soap operas and porn.
