Liar, Liar!
Interview From www.cbs.com
On The Young and the Restless, DAVID TOM's character, Billy Abbott, is being lied to by his ex-girlfriend, Brittany. He thinks they slept together - when they didn't! Of course, Billy told a few lies himself while trying to keep his relationship with Mac a secret. Now, it's David's turn! The actor has an opportunity to bluff contestants when he appears on Hollywood Squares. (Don't forget to tune in to Hollywood Squares the week of October 23 to see your favorite soap stars!)
CBS.com: Is this the first game show you've ever appeared on?
DAVID TOM: It is - my first game show.
CBS.com: Your sister [Heather Tom, Victoria] was taping another show earlier today. She sat in the top right square and said that she was afraid of heights.
DAVID TOM: I want to get up there!
CBS.com: Are you hoping the fans can catch a glimpse of your personality instead of Billy's?
DAVID TOM: Yeah, a little bit. I can't wait. It's going to be fun.
CBS.com: Are you going to try to bluff your answers?
DAVID TOM: I don't know. If I know anything about the question, then I might try and say the right answer. If I don't know anything, then I'll obviously bluff.
CBS.com: Since this is being taped on a Sunday, what would you be doing today if you weren't working?
DAVID TOM: Well, I just got a new Ping-Pong table, so I've been working on that with my friends. I'm getting pretty good! [I'd] probably [be] just hanging out. [It's a] beautiful day outside. It's been raining all weekend, so I'd probably get outside - get out there with my dogs. [I would] take them up to the dog park.
CBS.com: On a different note, how are you feeling about your storyline lately?
DAVID TOM: It's interesting. I'm excited at the fact that it's really starting to pick up and climax.
CBS.com: How do you think Brittany's lies are going to affect your relationship with Mac?
DAVID TOM: I don't know. Right now [the relationship is] pretty damaged. The glass has been broken, but, hopefully, we'll get past it.
CBS.com: Do you think Billy will be able to forgive Brittany?
DAVID TOM: If he ever finds out what she did [and with] him being an Abbott, no. But he will probably come around. I think there's a little room for forgiveness. Hopefully, he'll find out.
CBS.com: Even though Billy is an Abbott, I think he's the softest one in the bunch.
DAVID TOM: Yes, I think he takes on a little bit of Jack. Jack always loses! [Laughs]
