Interview with Taylor Ann on Her Recent Projects

From Daytime Confidential
By Jamey Giddens

She isn't a nurse, but she played one of TV. On the Wed., June 16 episode of The Young and the Restless, a returning hero was desperate to use his medical prowess to save the life of his dying mother, amid shocking family secrets. When his physician's assistant almost gave his mother the wrong medicine, Dr. Snapper Foster (superstarDavid Hasselhoff, reprising the role that made him a household name) understandably went ballistic, yelling at the nurse until she burst into tears.This could have been any number of scenarios playing out on any of daytime's seven sudsers, save for the fact that the incompetent nurse in question was portrayed by one Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff—David's daughter. I caught up with the beautiful, young starlet to get the dish on what it was like appearing with her Pops in Genoa City. We also chatted about the Hasselhoffs' upcoming, untitled A&E docusoap, which will feature Taylor-Ann and her sister Hayley Hasselhoff (who also stars in the upcoming ABC Family soap, HUGE) pursuing their career aspirations, while dad keeps a watchful eye.Daytime Confidential:You made your soap opera debut today! What was it like working with your dad on The Young and the Restless?Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff: Working on The Young and the Restless with my dad was an absolutely surreal experience! He is my mentor, best friend and inspiration, so being able to act and perform with him allowed me to really get into character. I felt comfortable around him and he brought out my confidence as an actress. He is such a blast to work with!DC: When you were a kid, did he ever talk about his time on the soap?TH: Yes, my dad has talked to me about this soap many times growing up, always telling me the funny stories of him staying up all night learning his lines, because they gave him a script filled with 40 or more pages of dialogue a night! He has some other great stories that really gave me the inspiration and encouragement to follow my dreams.DC: On Y&R, you play a nurse, whom Dr. Snapper Foster, as played by your dad, has to yell at in a scene. Was that a fun scenario to have to act out?TH: Such a fun scenario because it gave us a more challenging scene than I thought we would have together. My dad and I never fight, so being able to do this on camera was really fun! My dad is the funniest guy I know. I kept telling him before the scene, "Dad, now don't go cracking a joke in the middle of the scene." We had such a great time acting this scene out!DC: You will be appearing with your dad, and sister Hayley, in an upcoming A&E docusoap, which focuses on the younger Hasselhoffs pursuing your career dreams, while David lends a hand. Is acting something you want to pursue full-time?TH: Yes, acting has always been a huge passion of mine since I was a little girl, as well as singing. I love to perform, sing and act as its a way to escape reality and go into this dream world where I feel most at home. I will be continuing to act and sing for the rest of my life!DC: What are some of the other career paths we will see the Hasselhoff girls pursue on the upcoming series?TH: Besides the acting, auditions and seeing my sister get the role on the new ABC family series HUGE, A&E follows our journey to becoming a sister band together. You will see our ups and downs, disappointments and accomplishments as we work hard together to try to make it in the business.DC: Would you ever do a soap for a lengthy stint?TH: Yes, I would love to do a soap for a lengthy stint! Soaps are so much fun and everyone who works on them are just great people to work with and be around all day long! Soaps are also great training and the hardest to do in the business.For more information on the Hasselhoffs' upcoming A&E docusoap go to A&E's official website. HUGE, starring Hayley Hasselhoff, premieres June 28 on ABC Family. For more information on HUGE go here.

David Hasselhoff Talks "The Young and the Restless," Today & Yesterday

From: tv.msn.com & HNC

After over 30 years away from daytime, David Hasselhoff is set to return to "The Young and the Restless" from June 15-21! Deanna Barnert got a chance to sit down with David and chat about his upcoming appearance on Y&R, reprising his role as Dr. Snapper Foster for a few episodes. BACK WHERE IT ALL STARTED

David Hasselhoff goes "home" - see him in the back row? Who else can you spot?

"It was amazing coming back here. It was so surreal. I was talking to Wings Hauser (Greg), who came back. It was like we never left. Wings and I were laughing, making jokes, still being cocky crazy. Everybody was so positive. It was, without a doubt, an amazing four days."After the first day, I said, 'Oh god, I've got to go home and learn these lines! And there's no cue cards?' They said, 'We'll bring you cue cards,' but I said, 'No, I don't want cue cards, I want to see if I can do this.' It was very different from the way it used to be, but I loved it. We just got out there and screwed around - that's the technique I've always used to distract myself, so I don’t get nervous. It was like a big family."I was smiling for four days, and I haven't smiled for four days in a long time."LURED BACK TO WHERE IT ALL STARTED:Returnging to honor the late Bill Bell. "When I got on the phone with [Maria Bell, headwriter], she was so incredibly nice and enthusiastic about my coming [that] it was a no-brainer. I use it as an episode for my [upcoming A&E reality] show. I wanted to go back to my roots to A) honor Bill Bell [creator of 'Y&R' and 'The Bold and the Beautiful"') and B) see if I can still do it. I like to be terrified. It was terrifying to come back. But it wasn't hard. It was easy, because it's what I do. I did 800 shows, so somewhere in my subconscious, the show's still there."My daughter punched up YouTube. You can see the episode where I say goodbye to Chucky. I couldn't believe it. YouTube has documented everything in my life, good, bad or indifferent."THE FAMILY NURSE"My daughter, Taylor Ann, is playing one of the nurses. To work with Taylor was just mind boggling, because she's wearing the Snapper Foster scrubs! I chewed her out, because she brought in the wrong medicine and my mom is having a hard time."There was a lot of emotion flying around, but more than anything, was how much we all laughed. Jess [Jill] doesn't laugh. She pretty much stays in character, but everyone else is just hysterical."RECONNECTING WITH THE FOSTER CLANThe Foster Clan reunites when matriarch Liz falls ill."We're all going to get together when this airs. Julianna (McCarthy, Liz) was wonderful to see. She was so funny. Here she's in bed and she's very ill, and we were making the funniest jokes and then going into these heavy scenes. Wings and I haven't seen each other since the ['Y&R' 20th anniversary party]. He went off to do all kinds of heavy roles. He came up to me and said, 'I always remember how you could always cry on your downstage, left eye,' [and then], 'I always talk about how you were one of the best actors I ever worked with.' It was so nice to hear that, because he came on and he was super green. Then I was super jealous when he went off and became this huge movie star, and I was still stucJess Walton wasn't yet Snapper's sister back when The Hoff was around. k in the soaps! "Jess [Walton, Jill] was terrific! 'I'm blown away by you,' she said, 'because your emotion is just right here and you just get right into it.' I said, 'Jess, it's like I never left. It felt so normal and easy. I'm an emotional guy, anyway, [and] there's a family crisis, so it required a lot of emotions and frustration."THE GRANDE DAME OF "Y&R" Cooper - Hasselhoff's mentor & supporter"Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) looks incredible! Unbelievable. She's 81 and she blows us all away. Jeanne saw me in 'The Producers' in Las Vegas and she called several times to give me support when I was getting some bad press. She was great, so I was excited to see her and work with her. She's so brilliant. She just turns it on, and that's how I learned my technique, from watching her."A ROUGH START ON "Y&R":"For the first two years, it was a rough time for me. I was replacing William Gray Espy and everyone loved him. I got a ton of hate mail. I remember reading one letter that said, 'Every time you act, I want to regurgitate and climb the walls.' I said, 'You better climb the walls, 'cause I'm sticking around.' I remember writing this person back, going, 'This is horrible. I'm hated.'"I turned it around, because Jeanne put me under her wing. She took me home and helped me find Snapper. She called Bill Bell and said, "Let him be emotional. Let him be different than William Gray Espy,' who is very cool. It was a big shock to everybody. With the help of her and this book that I still believe in, 'The Power of your Subconscious Mind,' I turned it around."STEPPING INTO THE KNIGHT (RIDER) Hasselhoff road off from daytime on the "Knight Rider" series"Bill [Bell] supported me and allowed me to go. He could have blocked the whole thing, because I was under contract, but he said, 'You're destined to be a star and I'm going to let you run.' I came back again, but then I walked away from 'The Young and the Restless' with 40,000 in my bank account and moved to New York, because I had to follow my dream [and do Broadway]."That's when Brandon Tartikoff saw me on an airplane and asked me to audition for 'Knight Rider'. After 'Knight Rider' came 'Baywatch' and I walked away from 'Baywatch' saying, 'I've got to do Broadway before I'm too old.' I'd wanted to be on Broadway since I was eight years old. 40 years later, when I was 48 – ack! – I finally got on Broadway with 'Jekyll and Hyde'."THE "Y&R" WORK ETHIC"It set my entire mode of professionalism - of never missing a day of work [and] always knowing my lines. The work ethic here was amazing, even though we used to go out and party a lot."I have such respect for soaps. Everyone else would laugh at them and take them off their resume, but I was always like, 'What are you laughing at?' Everybody who came on the show here, like guest stars from primetime series, would fall apart! So many people have come out of soaps. I remember seeing Alec Baldwin at the Soap Opera Digest Awards [after] I'd left and was doing 'Knight Rider'."SNAPPER IS ALWAYS WITH HIM The Hoff as young Snapper Foster. "To this day, people still stop me and say, 'I still remember you as Snapper.' It was 34 years ago, and honest to god, when we announced I was coming back, I'm on an airplane and the stewardesses are going, "I hear you're going back to the soaps!'"I was afraid I was going to come in here and completely not be able to remember my lines, but I came in and it was like I never left. It was unbelievably fun. The emotion was flowing."JUST A SHORT VISIT - PERIOD!"One of the girls came up to me and she was kind of cute. I found out she was single. I thought, 'Hm.' She said, 'Why don’t you hang around? It's great having you back.' After the third day of the lines, I said, 'I don't think so!'"It's great coming back and they're like, 'You're here! You're here!' Then after the third or fourth day, no one gives a damn, because you're into having to learn your lines and do it."THE STORY ON THE A&E REALITY SHOW: Hasselhoff is set to star in an A&E reality show with his daughters."It's going to be 'The David Hasselhoff Show' or 'The Hoffspring' and it's coming out in August. It's about my life with my daughters and me trying to show them the ropes and get them to the door, but they have to walk through the door."They both sing and want to be a techno pop band. Now, Hayley's got a job on 'Huge', where she's starring with Nikki Blonsky on the ABC Family about kids that go to fat camp. She just hit and she's been doing this for four years. She's been battling being plus size, speaking out about it and being a role model for kids. Then Taylor went off to University of Arizona, but they came back and said, 'Dad, we want to be a band.' They'd offered me this reality show and I didn't want to do it, but I said, 'What if we do it about you guys becoming singers and I'll just do 10 episodes,' so we're doing it."MESSAGE TO FANS"Tell the fans I said, 'Thank you' and 'Stay tuned. You're going to love the shows. You are guaranteed to cry. The crying Hasselhoff has returned.'"

David Hasselhoff Returns to 'Young and the Restless'

,
From Entertainment Weekly

Look who’s coming home to Genoa City! EW.com has learned that David Hasselhoff will briefly reprise his role as Dr. William “Snapper” Foster, Jr. on The Young and the Restless. He’ll return to the show’s Los Angeles set in May for an arc that will start airing in mid-June. The Baywatch star got his start in TV by starring on the popular sudser from 1975 to 1982.“In 1976, Bill Bell, creator of America’s No. 1 soap opera, took a chance on a young and very green actor,” Hasselhoff said in a statement given exclusively to EW.com. “Playing Snapper in 850 shows during the six years I appeared molded my craft, my attitude and my work ethic. Being asked to come back to appear in several episodes gives me a chance to say thanks, as I have an amazing amount of respect and heartfelt emotion for Bill, his family and my time on Young and the Restless. I just hope I can remember all those lines.”It seems likely that Hasselhoff will address his return to Restless in his upcoming reality show for A&E, but CBS could not confirm.

Hasselhoff won’t be the only Foster family member to stage a surprise homecoming: Veteran TV actor Wings Hauser will also reprise his role as Snapper’s brother Greg, and Julianna McCarthy will pick up where she left off in 2008 as matriarch Liz Foster Brooks. She is the mother of Jill Foster Abbott, who is currently played by the Emmy-winning Jess Walton (who didn’t start playing the character until 1987 so there will be no vintage shots of the Foster family). While in Genoa City, Hasselhoff’s Snapper married Chris Brooks and had an affair with Sally McGuire, who bore his son Chuckie.  On the wedding day of Snapper’s mother and Chris’s father, they presented the couple with new granddaughter Jennifer Elizabeth Foster. Snapper supposedly left Wisconsin in 1982 to accept a three-month fellowship in London to teach; he ended up staying there.
