Q&A is not to be duplicated elsewhere and claimed as their own. STAR-KIDZ EXCLUSIVES



1. What's it like to film a soap like The Bold and the Beautiful?

Filming B&B was super fun, everyone was so nice and helpful! I have some great memories from that show that I will have forever!


2. How did you get into the business?

I got into the buisness when I was about 4, my parents took me to John Robert Powers where they teach acting and modeling. I went to a big convention where there were tons of agents and I found an agent there.


3. What was it like working with Susan Flannery?

Working with Susan Flannery was fun, she was super nice and was always really helpful on set, she is just like the character she plays.


4. How did you like working with Rachel and Amanda Pace?

Working with Rachel and Amanda was really fun, they had worked on the show long before I did so when I had my first scenes with them they helped me relax and have fun. At first it was really hard to tell them apart, but after awhile I could tell them apart.


5. What was your first day on set like?

My first day on set was easy, all I had to do was act like I was sleeping on the couch so I didn't have to learn any lines.


6. Are there any funny backstage moments you can share?

My funniset backstage moment was on my first day when I met KKL and Ronn Moss for the first time. They asked me what my name was and I told them "Ridge", they both looked at me funny and said "no, your real name", and I told them Ridge was my real name, they thought that I was telling them the name of the character I was playing, they didn't realize that my real name was Ridge. When I told them that my name really was Ridge they thought it was so funny that my name was Ridge and I was playing Ridge Jr. (RJ).


7. Did you have a favorite B&B set to film on?

My favorite sets on B&B were the Big Bear cabin (cuz, it really felt like we were in a cabin) and when they set up the backyard pool, cuz it was really only about a foot deep!


8. What was it like filming Cold Case?

Cold Case was sooo fun, it was much different than B&B because it was filmed outside. Danny Pino was such a good friend to me on set, he played frisbee with me between takes.


9. Has you ever had the chance to do any commercials or print work?

I originally got into the buisness as a model, but never did any modeling actually. I did do a national Dodge commercal shortly after I landed the role of RJ on B&B.


10. What's your favorite B&B memory?

My favorite B&B memories are just about everyday on set, it was always so fun to be on set and the actors are all so nice. Also, the Christmas scenes were sooo fun, the set always looked sooo pretty. I also like going to the Christmas parties that Mr. Bell had for the actors, they were alot of fun!
