Regis | All My Children | History Channel | trained chef

No. My whole career has been a series of accidents. I accidentally got into acting because my friends were doing it. They were doing extra work, and they were making good money. So I was like, Hey, why not? That led to the soap [All My Children], which led to the talk show, which led to the sitcom, which led to the production company.

What production company?
Mark and I have a TV production company together now. We sold a scripted show that did not get picked up this past fall, and we just sold a pilot to the History Channel for an interesting show called Wild Gourmet. It's about a man who is a trained chef and an anthropology major. He takes you through a culture's hunting and eating of a specific animal.

Why production?
You can't be on camera forever. Very few people can. So I'm one of those people who would eventually like to work behind the camera.

Wait - hasn't Regis been on camera forever?
He's the one in a million. He's always relevant. He's always charming. He's always gorgeous. [Laughs] I don't see it turning out that way for me.

Speaking of Regis, I've heard people say he's quitting when his contract is up. True?
I don't believe that. I've been hearing that since I got here. He loves it. I love it. It's a great place to work. It's a fun, sort of easy schedule for people like us, who really just want to be on vacation all the time.

You did voice work for two animated movies that are coming out soon. What was that like?
