Ty
 
ready to rock
onelifetoliveADM   Welcome Ty ! We are very happy to have this opportunity. We'll go ahead and start the questions. Ann go ahead
1Ann   Thanks for taking the time to chat with us, Ty. I've noticed that many characters on the show seem to pronounce Colin's last name as 'Magyver'. I keep expecting Richard Dean Anderson to pop up instead of you! Are folks pronouncing it correctly, or just being sloppy?
Ty   and she does a great job running it
Ty   it's pronounced Mac Iver, but not everyone in Llanview is aware of the correct pronunciation
1Ann   Obviously! Thanks for clearing that up.
Ty   Or some people like Todd and Asa enjoy mispronouncing it. LOL
onelifetoliveADM   Okay, Jill4 looks like you're up next
4Jill   Hey Ty, since it's obvious that Colin has a serious thing for Nora, do you think he can be redeemed enough to be worthy of a woman who values honesty...I mean, Colin takes one decent step forward and 3 bad ones back...but we love ya anyway
Ty   I don't think Colin's ever met a woman like Nora before, only time will tell the effect she will have on him
4Jill   Hmmm...and we'll see what Sam has to say about it...
4Jill   Thanks
CabooseHOST   LOL
onelifetoliveADM   okay, Patti go ahead
5Patti   Ty, I heard you beat out some pretty experienced daytime actors for the role of Colin. Who did you audition with?
Ty   Sam I'm sure won't be too happy, but that might be fun to see!!!
Ty   Unfortunately I can't remember any of their names, but they were all great guys and we all had a lot of fun that day.
5Patti   That's cool. Thanks
onelifetoliveADM   Traci#7....you are up
7Traci   Hi Ty! I was just wondering who you would like to work with that you haven't yet gotten the chance to?
Ty   Tom Cruise, Ed Norton, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino
Ty   oh.... on OLTL!
7Traci   LOL
Ty   I've been very lucky to be able to work with a lot of characters so far, especially in the next few weeks
onelifetoliveADM   ILAR#6....GO AHEAD :-)
6ilar   Ty thanks for helping with the picnic table...When you went from corp exec to actor was it fulfilling a longtime dream or something you recently decided to do?
Ty   your welcome with the table :-), Acting seemed like a fun and challenging thing to do at the time
6ilar   ok thanks
onelifetoliveADM   #8DIANE....YOU ARE UP

Jess17   Hi, Mr. Treadway, Diane asked my original question, but no biggie. Thank you so much for talking to us! I'm so excited. Anyway, who do you enjoy working with most on OLTL? Who do you feel you have the most chemistry with? Not to play favorites or anything, I'm just wondering.
25nancye   he's hot
Ty   I will always enjoy working with Nora, because I love and respect HBS so much, but I also enjoyed the Todd and Sam scenes, and I always look forward to working with Lindsay...
Jess17   Thank you very much !
