It’s been a heady time for Scott Clifton who, after snagging his first Lead Actor win at the Daytime Emmys on April 30, celebrated son Ford’s first birthday six days later. “Yeah, that was a cool week off,” he reflects. “To go from stealing the Emmy to getting off the grid right after on a three-day camping trip with no cell phone, no nothing, and then I came back right in time for Ford’s birthday. We threw him a big party with the family. They all wanted to hold the trophy and take pictures, which was fun. We had to move the Emmys, though. Those pointy wings are weapons! I still have two major cuts on my hand from that night, so they’re very high up now. I had a bookshelf that had spaces carved out for the two. Now that doesn’t work anymore, so I moved them to another part of the house that’s way more out of reach.”
