F.Y.I.: Scott Bailey (Sandy, GL)
Scott Bailey’s (Sandy, GUIDING LIGHT) well-thought-out F.Y.I. couldn’t run in its entirety in the Feb. 3 issue of SOAP OPERA WEEKLY, so here’s what you missed.Greatest fear: Nothing but boring answers. Kidding! Actually, playing it safe, in my personal life, in my career, in a scene. I figure it’s not worth playing if you’re going to play it safe.
Favorite TV show: I rarely watch TV. I used to watch FRIENDS — it was like I knew these characters and enjoyed their journey. Now my fave is Guiding Light because I do know the actors and I get a kick out of seeing what they bring to their characters and the show.
Film or theatrical role for the opposite sex I would most like to play: I know it’s not a movie but I would love to play the Jennifer Garner role on ALIAS. You get to morph your character into different disguises and speak different languages every week, not to mention you have some great family drama and get to kick ass every week.
If I could only keep one household appliance, it would be: Well, I only use two appliances, my refrigerator and microwave. Who wouldn’t answer refrigerator?
Nobody knows I can: Integrate like no other.
If I couldn’t be an actor, I’d be: A writer, and critique bad acting performances. Kidding! Actually, I’d love to write a novel, screenplays, television series. I’d also have a garage where I could be an inventor when I wasn’t writing. Eventually I’d write a screenplay about an inventor and then become an actor so I could star in it.
Magical power I’d most like to have: ESP. Maybe then I could understand why people are so crazy and illogical and neurotic. Myself included.
If I could be in a TV show as a character for one month, I’d choose: FRIENDS. I could be Joey’s cousin, the writer, and he could convince me to write a television series for him, which I do and then it gets bought by a huge studio and we move to L.A. to become huge successes: on the show and in the real-life FRIENDS spin-off.
Cause I most believe in: Every cause seeking to improve the human condition.
First thing I do when I wake up in the morning: Begin planning my route to get coffee.
Last thing I do before I go to bed: Usually I read. The retention rate is higher when you read before sleeping. I also like to think of what problems need to be solved in my life so my brain can work on them while I sleep. This works. I often have dreams about them or wake up with an answer.
Biggest regret: Regretting is useless. I would really regret wasting a lot of time regretting things.
What I dislike most about my appearance: The fact that I actually think about it.
Smartest thing I ever did: Stop studying, start living.
Greatest love: I love the unexpected: the unexpected kiss, the unexpected personal connection with someone, the unexpected love in your life.
Person I would choose to play me in a movie about my life: Me! I know I’ve got a job, but I could squeeze it in. Or, maybe Tom Cruise or Sean Penn.
In the event of a fire, aside from human beings and animals, the one possession I would save: My computer. It contains priceless stuff: friends’ e-mail and info, screenplays, the answers to these questions.
What I would title my autobiography: For Both of our Sakes, I’ll Make This Brief
