Up Close with Billy Magnussen

We had the best time chatting with Billy Magnussen about his latest venture on the New York City stage, and couldn't resist asking him about his role as Casey Hughes on "As the World Turns."

He started playing Tom and Margo's bad boy son back in January, and we've been glued to the screen ever since. "It's been great," Billy enthused. "It's been a blessing more than anything, this whole experience. I'm really thankful for it."

This is Billy's first time acting on a soap, so we had to ask -- what's it been like so far? "The scandal, the intrigue, the sex -- crazy!" he laughed. And he couldn't be happier with his onscreen love interest, Kelley Menighan Hensley (Emily). "She's a phenomenal actress to work with. So considerate of her partner -- of me -- and I've learned a lot from her."
