Scott Clifton (Liam, B&B)
“There aren’t many tough things about my job but if I had to pick one, I’d say the memorization of copious amounts of dialogue on a daily basis.”
Robert Scott Wilson
(Ben, DAYS)
“The scheduling gets a little bit tough. Some weeks, it can be absolutely jam-packed. Everything
else I love; I’m
super-grateful.”
Parry Shen
(Brad, GH)
“Probably the big scenes with more than four actors in play — weddings, Nurses’ Ball, parties, etc. — because one, the days are longer; two, lines are often harder to remember because they’re usually short snippets where everyone just chimes in here and there; and three, dealing with the aspect of wanting to socialize because we get to talk/interact with folks we usually don’t get to work with!”
Hudson West (Jake, GH)
“There is something a little stressful knowing that, ‘I have to get this in one take,’ because they don’t have time for a bunch of slip-ups on GENERAL HOSPITAL. But I can usually do it in one take, which is nice.”
Hunter King (Summer, Y&R)
“It’s hard to say what’s the toughest thing about my job because I never want to complain. I am so blessed to be able to do what I love for a living that I feel so lucky! But if I had to answer, I’d say it’s probably the days when you have a ton of dialogue.”
Matthew Atkinson
(Thomas, B&B)
“Oh, man, memorizing all those lines. But what I do to make it more manageable is to just take it one scene at a time.”
Kathleen Gati (Obrecht, GH)
“Sometimes schedules and work can get very intense, but it’s really not hard because I love what I do! That being said, probably the hardest thing for me is balancing the rest of my life when I get focused on work.”
Bryton James (Devon, Y&R)
“Not having the time to make a scene perfect.”
