Jake Vaughn took over the role of “Spike Lavery” on All My Children in 2010 when filming was moved to California. He can be seen in numerous print ad’s and recently filmed an episode of Glee.



1. How does Jake like working with Alicia (Kendall)?
Kendall is amazing and such a kind soul. She and Jake have a great bond and he LOVES working with her. She is definitely a natural working with kids.

2. Does Jake prefer doing print or tv work?
I think he likes doing TV the best, the hours are not as long and he likes all the interaction with everyone there. He has his favorite stage manager Michelle on AMC. He loves to work with her.

3. How did Jake like working with Lauren Boles on 'Glee'?
Lauren was great, it was kind of a crazy busy day so we didn't get to spend too much time with her. She is such a great little actress. Jake had a bit of a crush. :-)

4. What was it like for Jake at his first fan event? Was it weird to see people requesting Jake's autograph?
He had such a ball at the fan event! He was so grown up there, it was crazy to see my four year old sit on stage for 45 minutes then at a table for over two hours, and not complain once! It was surreal seeing people wait in line for his autograph, proud mommy. Everyone was so wonderful there, he loves his fans.

5. How does Jake like working with Thorsten and Cameron?
Jake misses Thorsten, he was so much fun for them to work with. Cameron and Jake are so cute together, they have a natural connection and make each other laugh. Jake had a funny scene with Cameron where he had to whisper something in his ear, he had no idea what to whisper and Cameron told him to whisper whatever he wanted. Rebecca was in the scene as well so he whispered, "Daddy Ryan, do you know there is a pretty girl standing in the room?"

6. How does Jake like working with Mackenzie, Britton and Aerowyn/Ellah?
The All My Children kids are the best! He and Britton are like real brothers, they play hard in the dressing rooms and share pretty nicely. Jake can be a bit protective of Britton, very sweet. He has fun doing scenes with Danielle, she is like a big sister to him and makes sure he is okay when they are off stage and waiting to go down stairs etc. He wants Tate to be his best friend, they are great together, typical boys. Mackenzie and Jake have a blast doing scenes together, she brings out some great belly laughs in him. Ellah is such a sweet, well behaved little girl. Always a joy to be around.

7. How did Jake enjoy his The Children's Place shoot?
The Children's Place shoot was fun, the wrangler that made the kids laugh was probably the funnest part!

8. How does Jake like working with Michael Nouri and Christina Lind?
Jake calls Michael, grandpa. He is like a big kid with Jake, so amazing with kids. Christina always goes out of her way to spend a little extra time with the kids, everyone loves her!

9. What has been your favorite project Jake has done, outside of AMC?
We have been so fortunate in all we have done! Glee definitely stands out. Sarah Silverman was a blast too, he was such a good sport!

10. What has been one of the funniest things to happen on set or backstage for one of Jake's scenes?
There have been so many fun days! I think one of the most memorable days was the Halloween episode. The scenes were so long and there was candy ALL OVER the set! The kids had to sit at this table and then their scene was shot, then they pan over to the adults. The kids had to sit at the table quietly. Jake proceeded to eat all the candy at the table. They wound up shooting six different scenes that day and candy is involved in all of them. By they fifth scene Jake was getting ready to walk through the door with Thorsten and Alicia and then said he needed to water right away, he came running over to me and then threw up all over the set. :-)

Anything else you'd like to add?
Jake just shot a Samsung commercial, it will air during the holidays at NY Times Square on the jumbotron. It is for a refrigerator, keep your eyes peeled for it! Very cute spot.
I would also like to thank Star-Kidz for the all they do for Jake, you are truly amazing.
Happy Holidays,
Love,
Vaughn Family
