1. I romanced a DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE over 17 years ago while playing, you guessed it, another Irishman.

*2. You will occasionally hear my name mentioned during major league baseball games, though I've never called balls and strikes. I have, however, interviewed heavy-hitters like Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas and Peter Fonda during my days as a film reviewer.

3. I majored in English at an Ivy League college before breaking into the acting "world."

4. My daytime Emmy victory did not go over well with my peers because of my youth. In fact, the very next year, a new category was created.

*5. I shared the big screen with a star from ALIAS, who was just a "teen" at the time. I've also danced in a music video. (Hint: Think Juliet's better half.)

6. Mingling with "friends" was definitely the highlight of my career. It meant being the same stage as my acting idol.

*7. I was an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy and started my career on the New York stage. In fact, I have appeared in some 40 Broadway plays. However, daytime fans might be most interested to know that I was on the very first cover of Soap Opera Digest.

8. Talk about a checkered soap opera past! I played a madam and romanced a sexy Latin star who's now on a rival daytime drama.

9. Did you catch Super Bowl XL last February? I was there. Well, sort of...I got kissed by one of Hollywood's sexiest blondes. But I've yet to have my first kiss on DAYS!

10. I gave new meaning to the words "double duty" when I became the first performer to ever star in both a daytime and prime-time drama at the same time. It was tough, but I'm used to double duty.
