Actor Roundup

Tristan Lake Leabu (Reed, Y&R) “The boom mic operators are on these cranes on wheels that have elevated seats and there’s this pulley system with these levers that you use to guide the microphone overhead. That all seems like it would be a lot of fun.”

Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea, Y&R) “I would love to be in the makeup department. I love makeup anyway, but maybe Patti [Denney, department head, Y&R Hair and Makeup] could teach me her effects! I love when people have to be bloody or bruised or burned. I wanna learn how to do that!”

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy, B&B) “I would like to direct. I’m a very visual person and I shoot some things on the side, actually. I’ll direct for friends’ videos and stuff like that — nothing heavy like over at BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL, but I’m really starting to find myself loving it. It’s a new path that I’m really enjoying.”

Eric Martsolf (Brady, DAYS) “Head of Makeup. It’s gossip central in there. The things I would learn....”

Lamon Archey (Eli, DAYS) “I’d want to be an executive producer. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be the boss?”

Lynn Herring (Lucy, GH) “Probably operating the camera. I would love to try to keep it in focus! They are gods and goddesses to me, our camera people.”

Eden McCoy (Josslyn, GH) “I would want to be Frank’s [Valentini, executive producer] boss! I don’t know what I’d do, exactly; I’d just get to walk around and say I was his boss [laughs]. Or I would want to be in the hair and makeup department. I’ve learned so much from getting my makeup done at GH, and it would be really fun to try to do it on other people.”

James Reynolds (Abe, DAYS) “I have often thought of directing. I’ve done it a lot onstage. Our directors are so great to work with.
