One of the most difficult things about starting a new career later in life is managing your ego. That was the experience of former ONE LIFE TO LIVE actor Robert Krimmer. "To start over," he said, "the most important thing to have is a beginner's mind — to be able to say you don't know anything." It took the 54-year-old six years to reshape his life after reality shows began their assault on scripted television and work dried up. He now is a lawyer with Arnold, Bleuel, LaRochelle Mathews & Zirbel in Oxnard.

HOLLYOAKS' Ricky Whittle: I grab Jamie Lomas' crotch while we're filming
HOLLYOAKS star Ricky Whittle loves to mess around when he and his co-stars are shooting the hit C4 TV series. The 27-year-old actor, who plays cop Calvin Valentine in the show, especially likes to wind up Jamie Lomas.
"When the camera is on him I’ll be holding his crotch,’ Ricky tells Now Online. "We did this one scene where he was supposed to whisper to me and he licked my ear instead – we’re always doing stuff like that."
BLOG UPDATE: DAYS' Rachel Melvin
"Calling someone skinny, can be just as offensive as calling someone fat. This is lost on most of society however, because being skinny is considered, or thought, to be attractive or sexy. Here's the secret truth I'm going to share with you: Some people think thick is sexier than thin, and yeah, some people think vise versa. You cannot contour your body to make other people happy, only yourself. And some of you may know, your body won't even contour for you. We are built the way we are built, and you have to find it within yourself to own the way you look, accept it, and be proud of it."

Modeling has helped him land more jobs, he said. "Since I've been in the business as long as I have, it's given me a rebirth," he said. "I'm getting a second wind."

DEGREASSI High style: TV show sets fall fashion trends for teens
Of all the marketing forces competing for your teenager's back-to-school clothing dollars, perhaps none is more powerful than the adolescent fashion statements made in the hallways of Degrassi High.
Steven Wright, a mustachioed middle-aged man dressed with effortless style in faded jeans and a designer Hawaiian shirt, is that show's costume designer. Late one afternoon on DEGRASSI's deserted set in Toronto, he tells me there's a simple reason teenagers emulate the clothing he puts on his young cast.
"Kids can relate because it's not like what you'd see on THE O.C. or BEVERLY HILLS, 90210," says Wright, whose stock of more than 800 outfits comes from such stores as Sirens, Gap and Urban Behavior. "I feel we have a responsibility to our young viewers. I know how influential the show is, and I take that very seriously with the clothes."
So what will young DEGRASSI stars such as Nina Dobrev and Lauren Collins be wearing this fall? Expect wide-legged jeans, Wright says, and - thanks to advance buzz on the sixth Harry Potter film - clothes that wouldn't be out of place at an English boarding school.

Apparel, including T-shirts, fashion tops and fleece pieces for women, juniors and girls, will be produced under a licensing agreement with LF USA, the U.S. arm of Li & Fung Group. The firm will also produce sleepwear, loungewear and underwear."
I've always admired Bob Krimmer so much. It was his storyline with Ryan Phillippe in 1992 that first drew me to OLTL. That was some of the most compelling television I've ever seen. I'm glad he's doing well today, but I do miss him on daytime. Thanks for the update on him!
