Luc and Cole Amante played "Ian Slater" on All My Children. They first aired in April 2009 and last aired with the LA move.



1. How did the boys like working with Alex Ben and Caleb?
the boys loved alex, ben and caleb. they liked to play with toys together, watch dvds of wow wow wubzy and share snacks! they definitely bonded.

2. How did the boys enjoy their print shoot for Parents Magazine?
the parents magazine shoot was fun! luckily, the theme was having a chaotic and fun household, lol. so they fit right in!

3. Have the boys done anything outside AMC other than Parents Magazine?
no, they haven't worked outside of amc and parents mag. they have been to many auditions including a film with chris rock and many commericial auditions.

4. What was the boys last day on the AMC set like? Do they miss the set?
the last day was so sad for everyone! ian and spike had many scenes because alicia was back from maternity leave. there was a party, a special cake for the kids and plaques were given to the children also which was so special. a lot of tears that day and we are so happy to have been a part of the show. i think they miss the show, they recognize zach and kendall and spike when we watch old episodes.

5. Do the boys ever get recognized as 'Ian'?
yes, they do get recognized as ian! the hair is a giveaway. malls, parties, even their grandma's home attendant recognized them on her first day!

6. Did the boys get to spend time backstage with the other children whom they didn't typically film with?
yes, they spent a lot of time w other kids in the dressing rooms especially lucy! so sweet.

7. How did Luc and Cole enjoy working with Lisa Yuen?
Lisa is a gem! they loved her, she tried so hard to tell them apart, lol. they miss her definitely! she used to come in the dressing room before a scene w them to play and get hugs!

8. What was it like working with Alicia and Thorsten?
they r wonderful actors and are magical with children. they improvised often with the kids which made some of the scenes more genuine! thorsten loved to blow rasberries on their bellies if they were a little cranky and that always worked. alicia was pregnant for a majority of the boys' time on amc and her motherly instinct was so awesome to see.

9. What was your favorite scene the boys filmed?
we love the scene when zach is reading the story to ian at christmas. the most difficult scene to watch was when ian had his valve surgery and had the oxygen mask on. they were 28 wk old, 2 pound preemies and it brought back a lot of memories when they were in the hospital for 6 weeks!

10. Is there any way to tell the boys apart from watching old episodes?
well, they both love pretzel rods, so that doesn't help, lol. Luc is definitely more easy-going and always looked into the camera. Cole is stubborn to say the least and for some reason as soon as a scene started to film, he would turn his head away!

11. Is there anything else you’d like to add?
we want to thank everyone for a wonderful time on the show! it was so memorable!

We'd like to thanks the Amante family participating in the Star-Kidz Holiday Q&A event this year!
