A bit of a tangent here but please someone settle an argument for me. My
sister says that Michael T. Weiss (The Pretender) played the role of Philip
Spaulding at one time. I don't remember that. I know he played Mike Horton
on DOOL. I also know that Grant Alexsander plays Philip now and is
reprising his role from earlier. But I cannot remember the names of the
actors who played Philip in the intervening time. I know that one of the
actors who played him (though I cannot remember the actor's name) has also
played Captain McNamara on AW. Maybe also a link to a web page with
photographs would be good.

Anyone's help is appreciated. She's leaving tomorrow morning (Friday), so
any info before then would be appreciated.

Thanks

Grant Aleksander and John Bolger (who is the AW actor) are the ones
that has played the adult Philip.

I don't think Michael T. Weiss has been anywhere near Guiding Light.

Didn't Kevin Bacon play Phillip for awhile, just before Aleksander?

No, Kevin Bacon was Tim (T.J.) Werner, son of Sara McIntryre and Joe
Werner.

Kevin Bacon played a character named Tim...he did not play Philip.

Kevin was on Rosie this week and they played a clip of him in the role of Tim
the teenage alcholic.

That's so weird! I thought it was him, too! I just told my mother today
(she's a big pretender/ex-GL fan) that - that was him. Maybe I was wrong, too!
**Europa** only one minute after 4:20!

Awhile ago there was an actor by the name of John Bolger(?) who played
Phillip. It was when Phillip was trying to become a writer.

Yes, that was him. He later played Gabe on AW. I think it was John
Bolger's Phillip that originally hooked up with India, wasn't it?

I am 99% positive that Michael T. Weiss was never on GL. AFAIK, his only
soap was DOOL.
