>>!...Hawkes muses, “The way I look back at the whole experience, honestly, is that I just fell madly in love with the cast and crew. They’re just incredible people, and I’m astonished by them and all the work that goes into putting the show together. When you’re working with professionals who are really enjoying what they’re doing and trying to do their best work, it’s just the best feeling. You feel like you’re on a team.”!<

>>!From day one, the theater-trained actor took his GH work seriously. “As far as I’m concerned, we’re doing Shakespeare,” he declares. “I put the same work into it as I would doing Death of a Salesman or Richard III or anything else, because everybody that I worked with there was too! You have to be on your game.”!<

>!I wonder if Mr. Hawkes channeled Iago when he played Cullum. ;-)!<

>!Near the end of show, a man in a black suit and two heavily armed and armored men stepped out of a black copter. It took me a few minutes to recognize comedian John Oliver was playing the man in black and apparently in charge. As he approached the scene of a shootout, a man lying on the ground who was shot earlier moved slightly and the JO character took out his gun and shot him nonchalantly. Then he walked towards a young woman on the ground who was wounded in the shootout and assured her it's OK because he was here to help.!<

>!I LMAO because he just shot someone in the back without checking if he was friend and foe first. Kudos to Mr. Oliver for staying in character and keeping a straight face. ;-)!<
