I remember one of my last shows, the Final Jeopardy! clue was something like 'These two boys' names are top 10 boys' names in the U.S., they both end with the same letter, and they're both names of Jesus' apostles.' Now, obviously that's not a knowable fact. View quote

Soaps are great. You learn to work very fast - some say superficially, but that's not really true. You do some very serious character work.
