    Stars Say

    • “I knew that it was my job to scare the hell out of the kid and I think we accomplished that. I made sure to kinda love [Williams] at the end of the day and let him know that he’s my buddy and that its just the job…I’m always looking at him like ‘So am I on my right mark?’ He’s a pro. I keep saying to him when he is famous ‘Don’t forget the people you worked with early.” – Mark Lawson, Soap Opera Digest
    • “I was just joking that sometimes I feel like he’s my big brother and sometimes I’m the big brother. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the vet; he’s had all the work and I’m the one who just jumped in. So he gets to lead by example for me.” – Mark Lawson, Soap Opera Weekly
    • “He’s great. Though I’ve joked that he’s smarter than I am, and I do think that’s true. At his age, if you would have asked me to do trigonometry, I probably would have set your car on fire.” – Mark Lawson, ABC Soaps In Depth
    • “I’ve always regretted that we didn’t have a couple more scenes together. I just don’t like the idea of a young man having a role model in his life who disappears.” – Mark Lawson, ABC Soaps In Depth
