While Days of Our Lives fans remember Austin Peck from his longtime stint on that series, As the World Turns followers are just getting to know this actor.

Maybe these fun facts will help:

• Knew Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) and Paolo Seganti (ex-Damian, As the World Turns) in his modeling days.

• He Boxes to stay in shape.

• Austin creen-tested for a role on All My Children opposite Kelly Ripa (who we adore).

• The actor draws comic-book style sketches and is considering doing a children's book called The Adventures of The Dude and Mr. Bo Buishie, a reference to his nickname for son Roman.

• Has appeared in many magazines, including GQ, British Vogue, Esquire... and Playgirl (like Marcus Patrick!).
