Bill has been an iconic character on B&B since your introduction in 2009. What have you liked most about playing him?
“His emotional complexity. He's such a complicated character. A guy who, to his best efforts at times, can't get out of his own way. The very things that have made him one of the most powerful people on the planet are also the very things that personally can be so destructive for him."
What do you feel drives him?
"That 'win at all costs' mentality. While that may have helped him succeed, the edges of that have been softened over the years with Katie, with Brooke, with his children, but I think that's still a driving force behind who he is."
How has Bill evolved since you've been playing him?
"He has evolved in that that 'win at all costs' mentality in his personal life can really create chaos. He's seen that. I don't think you can bring that mentality into your interpersonal relationships and be successful. In fact, I know that you can't. So, he struggles with that and it forms who he is."
What life events would you say have affected Bill's evolution?
"Well, Katie, no doubt. Katie coming into his life softened him. In fact, it was that moment where he could have taken advantage of a drunk Katie and he didn’t. That’s when you saw some heart, some scruples, some glimmer of a moral conscience.”
What do you like most about the Bill/ Katie love story?
