QOTW: Week of July 4

[livelikemusic]

First off, happy belated Fourth of July for us Americans and happy belated Canada Day for Canadians!!

So.. the question:

If you could choose to star in ANY television series, any series at all, whether it be Daytime or not, on air or cancelled, what series would you choose and why? What type of character would you portray? What draws you to the series?

Great questions!

After a lot of thought I think I would choose to be a member of the beloved Horton family on DAYS. The family is so strong and resilient and there are so many wonderful ties to the rest of the characters on the series. I would love to share many of the scenes with Maggie....perhaps play another grandson of hers (The son of Sarah or Melissa). Just seeing the family truly come together for Alice's tribute made me long to be a part of such a special group.

What a neat question Scott. There have been so many series that I have adored over the years: Y&R, DAYS (back in the day), Melrose 1.0, Ally McBeal, to name a few.

I think though, that I would go on to FRIENDS. I could be the gay FRIEND and be BFF’s with Rachel and Monica. I just loved that show when I was younger, I love the idea of living in NYC and having a group of super close friends that you grow up with and experience so many of life’s wonderful events with. Plus, it was so funny … and anyone that knows me, knows I am very funny. I would fit in, but I also loved the drama on the show. And they could have cast a super hot love interest for me!

This is indeed an awesome question!

I've been watching Brothers & Sisters with my family and I think this is the show I would love to be on. They are such a crazy, over the top, secret keeping-yet-close kind of family and I think I would love to be apart of it. Somehow! Maybe being a long lost son that uncle Saul never knew he had, that would be a great role to play. Maybe a little rough around the edges. So sure of himself and feeling independant, looking for cash but not a family type character. They would totally break my character with their togetherness/messy family values.

There would be so much story there...But anyways. [I could only dream]

Well.. time for me to answer.

I have two choices, but my #1 choice would be Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I would've loved to be on that show. When I was younger I would've loved to be an ally to Buffy and the Scoobies, but now I really want to be a full-series enemy that just doesn't go away. I would want to be that type of character that comes back from time to time, even after being killed because I just wanted to piss the hell out of the Scoobies.

Another series I'd LOVE to be on is As the World Turns as a Snyder family member. Just being in that family seems to be great to always seem to have SOMEONE there for you.

Dirty Sexy Money

Joshua Hawkins as Damien Darling
Born from an affair between Tripp Darling and my mother played deliciously by Linda Gray that was well over some twenty-five years earlier I would announce my arrival in grand fashion as a burst through the doors of the Darling mansion and decalred, "I'm the illigement Darling, darling."

I'm only like 6 days late on this thread, lol.

My choice would be a murder victim on a crime show, likely CSI preferably the NY one. I think it would be wicked cool to play a dead person and get all gross with the stage effects and makeup that would come with it. If not CSI, I would love to have our house possessed or maybe even a pet of ours in which the Winchester brothers from Supernatural had to come save us from.

Late also!

But this one is very easy for me. All My Children.... I'd play a Miranda Center worker who meets Bianca at Krystal's(BJ Forever) she finds out that my mother worked for Palmer for many years. I quickly work my way through the canvas befriending The Hubbards and Martins. I also meet and charm la Kane herself who promotes me at the MC. When Bianca meets me I confess my mother was murdered. She goes to Jesse and he remembers the murder all those years ago. He also remembers Angie's father was involved with this mess. Jesse starts to dig and finds out through Courtlandt Electronics Les Baxter(Angie's dad) father a son with Sadie(my mother). Jesse's shocked that Angie has a little brother. To top it all off Austin is gay and is dating a blast from the past Palmer's grandson and Nina and Cliff son Michael Warner!

Alright, this question was stumping me for a while, but I finally decided on the Nickleodeon sensation that was "Are You Afraid of the Dark."  I just loved this show as a teen and even now, and thought there were a great deal of creative stories within the series that kept you on your feet.  As a writer who likes to tell stories, I can't think of a greater allure than a show where the character gets to do that on a rotating basis.  I would be the mysterious loner of the group, usually assessing everyone, but not really engaging in the action outside of my objective to tell stories.
