After two Emmy Wins, were you surprised by this year's nomination?
Since I never count on being nominated, it is always a wonderful suprise. Hearing Tony Geart was also nominated was great news.

Were you excited about Rebecca Herbst first nomination?
I was very happy that rebecca was nominated. We've done a lot of work together this year and she deserbed to be nominated.

Which actor do you think was overlooked this year?
Tyler Christopher. He's definitly one of the best younger actors.

Other than Rebecca and Tyler, who do you credit for your nomination?
Tony Geary and Genie Francis. I worked with Tony, Genie and Rebecca in the shows I submitted.

Do you usew your Emm as bookends?
No, but there is one on each end of the fireplace mantle.

Do you think Tony Geary will win this year?
I hope he wins, he really deserves it. The stuff he did last year was amazing.

Whom would you like to be a presenter in your category?
I would love my brother, Richard Lee Jackson, to present.

What do you think was your best work last year?
When Lucky found Elizabeth after she was raped; when Luke tells Lucky he raped Laura; and when Lucky first sees Laura after her Port Charles return.

If you are nominated again next year for this year's work, will you attend the Emmys even though you have left GH?
I would do whatever I could to make it to next year's Emmy award show. I can't make a promise, but I'd definitly try.
