MODERATOR: Good Evening! Tonight we are chatting with Victor Webster, who plays Nicholas on the daytime drama, "Days Of Our Lives". Welcome to Lycos chat, Victor!
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Estoy muy bien, gracias!
MikeMattes: Hi Victor! Are you going to be at any of the other DAYS events besides the Luncheon next weekend?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Yes, as many of the Days events as possible. That way I feel part of the group and privileged to be with my co-workers. I also like to meet with you, the fans, that make it possible.
CLerinET: We are all wondering how old you are.
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: How old do you want me to be? Just kidding, I'm 26
jensen_babe: Have you ever acted before DOOL?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Yes, I did some small spots in some plays and had a recurring role on Sunset Beach. And I've done many commercials.
SexualCandy: Do you have a girlfriend?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Not right now. But I'm open to any suggestions.
DaysGirly: Hi Victor. I was wondering if you will be attending the Charity Basketball Game also next weekend?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Yes, I'll be attending next Sunday. I'm going to dunk on some dudes! Check my website www.victorwebster.com - you can get info on where I'm going to be on there.
wearewhatweare: What do you think of Diedre Hall?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: She's a great actress. Very talented. I'm very lucky to be working with someone like that and I can learn a lot of things from her.
Laura_2000: Have you been on any shows?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Just Sunset Beach and Days and that's it for now!
CLerinET: Have you ever acted in New York before and if so do you prefer it or LA?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: No, never have. I wouldn't know what the comparison would be, but I'd be interested in experiencing it.
DaysGirly: What is it like to work with Jensen Ackles and Brian Datillo? Do you guys ever hang out after the set?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I'm actually not in the same story line as Bryan and Jensen, but yes... We have hung out. Bryan is like everyone's little brother. One of the funniest people I ever met. And Jensen has a great heart. I hope someday our storylines cross, it would be great to work with them.
@Swanky_CaliChic25: Hey, Victor! I just wanted to say, "Hi". You already know my dad, Phil....He's one of your director's on "Days"
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I love working with Phil, he's a lot of fun, straight down to business, very good at communicating to the actors and very good at getting us to act out his vision. Tell your dad I said hi!
CLerinET: I heard that you are involved with charities. Can you tell us about that?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Yes, I try to get involved in as many charities that I believe in. Children's charities, battered women charities and charities involving the care and well being of animals.
CuriousVictorFan: When you're not commercial modeling or acting on DOOL, what do you like to do in your spare time?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I love to have dinner with friends for hours, just talking and laughing. I love to be with my family. I LOVE the movies. I like to exercise, stay in shape, and kick boxing. And I like to travel!
jensen_babe: What advice would you give me to becoming an actress on Days? I would really love to be on.
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: First of all make sure that you are in an acting class and developing your talent. That you get an agent who can get you an audition, and show that you're extremely motivated! Never give up, practice all the time in plays, acting classes, etc. And I wish you good luck.
Crunk4: Who's your favorite actress/actor that you are working with now?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: That's a really tough question because everyone is different. I would have to say there is a favorite actor for every different reason... Stefano for his great sense of humor. John and Bo because of their sense of humor and professionalism. Marlena and Vivian because of their inspiration and talent. And there is not one person on the show that I wouldn't look forward working with I hope they say the same about me.
RoughCrossing_RyanKo: Victor, would you ever consider doing any independent work?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: As in independent films? If so, absolutely. I think some of the best movies out were great indies, and would look forward to working on any great sсript..
CLerinET: Did anyone ever try to discourage you from pursuing your dream of acting?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: No. Because as soon as I would start talking about it people would understand that there was no way in the world I wouldn't achieve my goal. I was so motivated and determined. I have a tattoo on my back "Never Give Up". If you want something bad enough and you put the work in to achieve it, it can be yours.
chica11220: Do you think that you will be paired up with Krista Allen?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Now if I told you what's going to happen on the show, what would be the fun of watching? To be honest I don't know yet. I could only hope. There are many characters on the show that Nicholas would like to be with.
RoughCrossing_RyanKo: What's your heritage?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I am Italian, German, English, Scottish and a little bit of Espaniol.
RoughCrossing_RyanKo: Do you write back to fans?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I do the best that I can. I haven't had a chance to as of recently, only because I've been working so much. Yesterday was 12 hours the day before was 18. Also, time away from the set is memorizing lines, working with charities and benefits and advance my career with interviews. I read everything that comes in even if I don't get a chance to respond, that's why I do chats, to talk to you all at once! And also, I put the events I'll be at on my website so I can meet you face to face. www.victorwebster.com
CLerinET: That's awesome to see someone that is busy but still cares about important issues

CuriousVictorFan: What so far is your favorite movie?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I have many favorite movies in different categories. One of my favorites is ET. Love the movie "Casino". The movie "Blade". "Good Will Hunting".
Iowa Blues: Did you watch DOOL before you got on the show?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Sometimes I would, but I'm usually not home during the day and I hardly ever watch TV unless it's the Discovery channel, or one of the music channels.
sweet_girl420: Have you seen star wars?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Not yet, and don't tell me the ending! But it's on the list of Must-Sees!
CLerinET: What made you realize you wanted to act instead of model? Was it a spur of the moment decision or something you thought about for a long while? What made you finally make the change?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Since I was a kid I would always pretend to be someone other than myself. So the transition into acting wasn't really a transition. It was something I've always done, now I just get paid for it. I still do both. I enjoy modeling, but acting is my favorite because of the involvement of mind body and soul. Good question. I like good questions like that.
Iowa Blues: What character on the show are you more like in real life?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I am most like my character that I portray. 75% of his character is my own. His love for his family, determination to succeed in all he sets his mind to and his intelligence. And I really enjoy playing the character Nicholas. And I'm glad "Day" gave me the opportunity to accept this challenge.
CLerinET: We are all curious I'm sure: What do you look for in a someone to date?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Very good question! First and foremost Intelligence; then sense of humor, self-confidence, charisma, class... a sexy woman that is not sleazy, who is not provocative except to me. And then she has to be beautiful to me. That's what matters, not what everyone else thinks.
wearewhatweare: do you have any brothers or sisters?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Yes. Is that all you wanted to know

trymetwice: Victor I know your from Canada, but where abouts?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Calgary, Alberta.
DaysGirly: I was wondering if you can *shake* your hips like Ricky Martin?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I taught Ricky Martin everything he knows, because I have the hips that are loco! Just kidding. I have a different kind of hip shaking then him, but I don't know if you'll ever see me on stage.
kathy_in_pa: Can you shed any light on how your character knows Princess Gina?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: No. I'm fresh out of light. That would be like telling you the end of Star Wars before you've seen it!
CLerinET: How much fan mail do you get per day on average?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Mail or email? I get about 20-30 emails a day. And the letters have just started coming in from Days of Our Lives. That's just a couple of handfuls so far. But I would love to hear from all of you. Send pictures.
duchess16: What kind of music do you like?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I have such a diverse interest in music -- everywhere from classical to country to acid jazz -- but I would say my favorite forms of music would be hip hop and R&B and Reggae. But I also love to listen to adrenaline pumping heavy metal while I kick box.
MODERATOR: Victor, How did it feel to be named by Cosmopolitan Magazine as one of California's Most Eligible Bachelors?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: It was an honor and a shock at the same time. That over 2000 men, the would take little ole me. And I will have a follow up in this summer's issue as well. So be sure to pick that up at your local newsstand. I'll let you know about it on my website: www.victorwebster.com
RoughCrossing_RyanKo: What's your favorite TV show, besides Days?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Very good question. I like to laugh. I love Fraiser. Also Cheers. Discover channel with the crocodile man. "X-Men", Hercules, Zena... But I don't get a chance to watch TV very much.
Iowa Blues: what movie that you loved as a kid would you like to do a remake and star in?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Ooh... Um, um, um... Maybe "The Dirty Dozen", or what else... oh any of the James Bond movies.
RoughCrossing_RyanKo: Are you planning any show appearances like Rosie O'Donnel?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I have some things in the works, but nothing is definite yet. Check the website for more information.
duchess16: if you couldn't be an actor, is there other things you enjoy or would like to do?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I would've been a professional fighter. Maybe a location scout for movies. A veterinarian. Or maybe a Prince of Egypt. Super hero...
MODERATOR: We've heard you love CATS!
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Oh, yes. I love all animals just happen to have cats because I don't have enough room for cats, pigs and elephants! Except for reptiles, they kind of scare me. Not to say that I don't like them, we just don't get along.
CLerinET: How do you do emotional scenes? Do you think about things in your own life to bring out sadness or try to feel it from the scene itself?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: When you're working on the scene by yourself, you need to call upon emotional experiences you've had. A great source is an actor's imagination also. But when you're actually doing the scene and working with talented actors like on Days, it's easy to draw energy from one another and make the scene much less difficult.
Swanky_CaliChic25: When's your birthday?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: February 7. Which makes me an Aquarius if you believe in that kind of stuff.
CLerinET: Do you ever have problems with people taking you seriously as an actor because of your looks?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Not yet. But I'm not sure if they did have a problem or a question about me, I doubt they would say it to my face. Even though I would appreciate constructive criticism. And I realize my talents are getting better every single day, especially given the opportunity I have with Days. It's a great training ground. I realize I'm no Robert DeNiro, but with practice and dedication, I will be. I don't think you can ever become perfect at acting. Because every role requires something different of you. All you can do is continue to train and take yourself in different directions.
chica11220: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Hmmm. I would like to experience many different places. Some of my top choices would be: Greenland on a glacier. The Bahamas, scuba diving. Egypt, on a pyramid. And Bali on a hammock.
CLerinET: How did you get into kickboxing? I just started it this week and it is the funniest thing I've ever tried!
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I've been involved in martial arts since I was 9 years old. And started training in kickboxing because my martial arts instructor at the time was also a former professional champion kick boxer (lightweight). So we started cross training with the arts.
MODERATOR: You are a Black Belt aren't you? And don't you teach children Tae Kwan Do?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Yes, yes. It was one of the most influential experiences of my life, it brought me self-confidence... Traditional values, flexibility and health. And the ability to defend others and myself. And I consider it a great gift to be able to pass it on to our future generation. It brought me to a realization.... to how a sense of inner peace can really help you in all aspects of your life.
chica11220: What is your favorite food?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Mexican! And then Italian. Because of the many different varieties involved in both. I like lots of flavors and marggies don't hurt either.
CLerinET: How often do you surf the net? When you do what do you look at?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: I don't get a whole lot of time to surf the web, but I like to explore places I would like to visit. Do research on topics I would like more information on. And I like to check out what is going on in the daytime areas. Such as... NBC.com, Daytime central.. And www.soapstarworld.com That is just to find out what's going on in my business.
CLerinET: How did you get the audition with Days? Did your agent call you and tell you?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Yes. And then... I auditioned, went to the producers and auditioned, then had a screen test with 9 other actors... I found out that I did not get the role I auditioned for. But they offered me a different one, which I very gratefully accepted.
MODERATOR: What do you want to be remembered for when you are long gone?
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: For my contributions to the different organizations that I choose to become involved in. Hopefully I can help change a wayward child's direction, or help someone achieve their goal through motivation, or bring attention to a cause that needs it.
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Thank you everyone, very much, for joining us at Lycos and I hope to live up to all of your expectations on the show... And look forward to giving 100% to my fellow actors and friends and co-workers on Days of Our Lives.
MODERATOR: Thank you everyone for joining this exciting chat with Victor Webster from DOOL
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Thank you all again for your support, I sincerely hope that I will have a chance to meet you at some of the upcoming events. Which I will let you all know about on www.victorwebster.com
MODERATOR: We will be there. Thanks, again!
SPEAKER_VictorWebster: Have a wonderful evening and remember that if there is something that you want out of life and you do the necessary steps to achieve that goal... while maintaining a positive attitude and never giving up what you envision yourself having or doing will come true. And always remember nobody is better than anybody else. We've only just chosen to take different paths. Thank you.
MODERATOR: Thanks, Victor...Those are inspirational words! Take Care....We wish you the best in your career!
