Y&R: Who Am I?

— By Janet Di Lauro

Think you know everything there is to know about the cast of characters on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS? Well, what about the actual cast members who portray them? Test your knowledge of the actors and actresses who bring your favorite Genoa City citizens to life.

1. Daniel Goddard (Cane) — CBS

   I've been a California boy for years, although I was actually born in a much colder climate. I'm a totally devoted family man, but I do have two other loves: baseball and, I guess you could say, Harrison Ford. Who am I?
2. I've had two prime-time Emmy nominations, and one was for a role that was almost second nature to me. I've had my share of daytime nominations, too, although I've never brought home the gold. Oh, and did I mention I had the privilege of sharing the big screen with one the most famed crooners of all time? Hint: He was a member of the Rat Pack. Who am I?
3. Truth be told, I once haunted Tom Selleck. Really. I also give new meaning to the words "daytime vet," having appeared on six soap operas during my long career. Yet, I once left the business behind me, moved out of Los Angeles, and delved into two completely different lines of work. One involves food; the other, stretching. Who am I?
4. Way back when, I signed a deal with one of Hollywood's biggest studios. Can you guess which one? I've also rubbed elbows with an array of rock 'n' rollers in my day — not to mention Telly Savalas. Who am I?
5. I earned a Youth in Film award for work I performed in the early years of my career. I guess you could call it my acting "roots." I also worked with legendary director Ron Howard. Not as far back as his Opie Taylor years, but not as recent as his Oscar nod for A Beautiful Mind, either. Who am I?

6. Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) — CBS

   "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV." Yup. I actually uttered those words in a TV commercial, although it was a long, long time ago. I once portrayed legendary daytime leading lady Deidre Hall's (Marlena, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) husband, although it wasn't on a soap. When I'm not working hard on the soap set, I like to relax tickling the old ivories at home. Who am I?
7. Did you know I once dated Peter Fonda? Well, on the big screen, anyway. Meanwhile, I literally found love in the afternoon, twice, marrying two of my daytime co-stars. And although I didn't star in Mamma Mia, I do have a Mia connection. I have a Jack & Jill connection, too. Who am I?
8. Speaking of Mamma Mia, I'm fluent in Italian and love to cook. I'm also an avid hockey fan and have appeared as a hockey correspondent on Fox on occasion. I've done my share of prime time, too, including an Aaron Spelling series. Who am I?
9. I grew up some 3,000 miles away from Los Angeles, where I developed an allegiance to a New York sports team. Before joining Y&R I was "up a creek," so to speak, but in a good way. Oh, yes — I've spent some time on Capitol Hill. Who am I?
10. If things had worked out differently, I could have been fiddling with numbers from 9 to 5 instead of emoting soap opera scripts. I also spent some time striking poses for a few well-known designers. That is, before I embraced my inner "beast." Who am I?
