Soap alum Randolph Mantooth: "I never had more fun in my life""I hear a lot of people say, 'You did a soap opera?' Yeah, I did. And I loved every moment of it. I had the time of my life. But then I was offered a soap opera out in California (GENERAL HOSPITAL), and I hated it. Hated it. I did everything in my power—and I was making a lot of money—I did everything in my power to get out of it. I told my agent, 'You’ve got to get me out of this. I don’t want to do this. I hate it.' And they said, 'Now, now.' And I said, 'Look, if you don’t get me out, I’ll get me out, and I don’t think you’re going to like the way I’m going to get me out.'"
"I did LOVING, which was a little half-hour show that nobody watched. And I never had more fun in my life. … I would literally swing my feet out of bed every morning and go, They’re paying me! … You’re in New York City, being paid a lot of money to be around very beautiful women, doing a role that you absolutely love, and you get to theater at night. That doesn’t happen in L.A."
