Click to enlarge Unreality TV.. Don't ask Thorsten Kaye Ian about SURVIVOR because the actor's not a fan.
"Reality TV, by definition, can't be that. It has lighting and there's a crew. A slice of life [is] when you watch the news and you see a man shooting people from a tower. That's reality TV. To me, SURVIVOR is like watching somebody who bought a hammer, nails and some wood and tries to build a cabin. I like to see skillful players who make me forget that they're working."

"On ONE LIFE TO LIVE, I don't know if the studio was smaller or the egos were bigger; maybe it was a combination of things.  But at PC coming to work is fun.  The scripts aren't great every day; they're not supposed to be, they can't be. There's no way.  And our performances can't be great every day.  But as a whole, I like coming in knowing nobody's ego is bigger than mine."
