David: (On playing two people on "All My Children") It's fun playing two roles. The roles provide a wonderful range of emotions. Stuart is childlike and sensitive. Adam is ruthless, outrageous. He's flamboyant. He does the unexpected.
(edit) David: I'm a Beethoven freak. I listen to him all the time. (edit) David: To be able to make a good living in a challenging medium like soap operas is great. The best is that I get to act and am rewarded for it. And the people I work with are great. Funny, intelligent, hard working. They're all great to be around. (edit) David: There's a great deal of child left in me and acting is fun. (edit) David: I don't get bored when I'm working hard. (edit) David: (On his favorite movie) My favorite recently was Contact. I love good science fiction...This film took me to a place I'd never been before or had never thought about. I loved it. (edit)
