His talent was far superior to almost all those in the soap opera genre. He very well could've left daytime and had a fantastic career on primetime or in movies, but thank god he didn't.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138398721025803336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-88206037256193987222010-05-13T08:34:24.905-04:002010-05-13T08:34:24.905-04:00I actually had Zaslow higher up on my list.
