It is a challenge. When you do things that are comedy, you're having to look at the funnier side of life. Often I find Christians - but not just Christians, (any) people who have a certain core belief of things - don't like to have fun made of them at all.

Well, acting was just in me and I tried to avoid it. I didn't want to do what my parents did, you know?

I have to say, though, it's a little strange doing both because Durant is very straight and stern and austere.

I'm very much looking forward to my 30-40 years of acting, and, as I get older, I'm really looking forward to some of the roles that are out there to play.

I'd like to direct some, act in some of them, and produce.

There's nothing like coming home here, having the day off or morning off and going surfing. In Orlando I don't know what I would do.

It's a great counter to doing the soap because it's a comedy. It's real physical comedy.
