Watching The Contestants

Michael Park (Jack) was one of the first cast members to meet the aspiring actors who are vying for a 13-week ATWT contract on www.cbs.com's addictive reality show, INTURN.

More From Maura And Michael

With eight years of history to cover — never mind the much-maligned Amnesia Jack to flog — five little pages in Digest's 12/13 weren't nearly enough to contain ATWT's Michael Park (Jack) and Maura West (Carly). So consider this (even longer) part of their conversation a companion piece. MORE
