Why is David so Clean? (SOD 11/7/95)

"They tried to put me in a Speedo once on One Life to Live and I said, 'Just fire me and get somebody else,'" reveales Tuc Watkins, who has one of the fittest bodies on TV. "I have had to plant trees and take my shirt off, and punch a punching bag and take my shirt off. I'll say, 'Dorian, don't you forget it because I have the diary! I am going to go take a shower now.' And in the next scene, I will have a towel on. But if it makes sense to the scene, I have no problem with it. Part of the reason that I am here is that [soaps] are a looks medium. When you are an actor, you have to know what your market is, and I don't see any point in fighting that. So, I am always taking showers. I am the cleanest guy in Llanview."
