NICOLAS COSTER (“Mayor Jack Madison” of THE BAY) talks with OutTakes Interviews…

SO HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

Nicolas:  I just got back from Barcelona.  I did a huge Coca-Cola commercial  there and had a wonderful time.  A few years ago, I did a Super Bowl commercial for Coca-Cola; so this was kind of a remake of that.  With that first ad, I played an old man in a restaurant; and this very beautiful woman comes up with a tray of Coca-Cola and she says “Would you like one?”  I say “I never had one.”  And then I take a drink one and ask “What else haven’t I done?”  Then cut to me going a hundred miles an hour on a motorcycle and diving off a ten meter board and all this crazy stuff! With the remake in Barcelona, I started out with riding totally nude on a bicycle through with twenty gorgeous young people.  Everyone naked!  It was crazy.  So that’s coming out in Europe in February.

SO WITH “THE BAY”, I THINK YOUR CHARACTER HAS BEEN WITH MORE WOMEN THAN ANY OF THE OTHER MEN ON THE SHOW!

Nicolas:  I love it!  There are very attractive women on that show of all ages.  With the current flavor of things around the country, well, I’ve always been proper.  I’ve made a point of being proper because it’s just professional courtesy if nothing else, you know.  Every one of my leading ladies is a friend.

HOW HAS IT BEEN FOR YOU BEING ON “THE BAY” FROM THE START, EXPERIENCING HOW SUCCESSFUL THIS SERIES HAS GROWN?

Nicolas:  It’s been very pleasing.  Gregori Martin has such a fine ethic; and he’s quietly spiritual.  Kristos Andrews is as well.  They’re just remarkable people.  I can’t think of a single person on THE BAY who is not really super.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ASPECT OF THE CHARACTER OF “JACK MADISON”?

Nicolas:  Probably the fact that he’s aware of his foibles and his shortcomings.  I think that you can play being responsible for your actions without indulging in self-pitying guilt.  Also, Gregori has allowed me to bring in my usual sense of humor.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE STORYLINE?

Nicolas:  I think the stuff with Terri Ivens (Orchid) was really something because it was real.  It was vulnerable.  It was a guy who falls over the edge.  Terri’s just such a remarkable actor and a terrific person.  That could have been kind of disgusting…but I don’t think it was, do you?  There was that “Fatal Attraction” thing.  And so many men and women fall prey to those temptations in middle age.  I like playing people who are real.
