Cameron Mathison is handsome and honest.

The All My Children star had vowed to strip during the season finale of Dancing with the Stars, and then fulfilled that promise last night.

Take a look at the talented actor - and dancer - immediately following another impressive performance:

First, Cameron received praise for his routine...

... then, he made women drool.

Dylan Bruce, new to As the World Turns, recently sat down with CBS.com. Here are excerpts from that discussion:

CBS.com: What other soaps did you test for?
Dylan Bruce: I screen-tested for One Life to Live, Days of Our Lives and As the World Turns twice. Then, I screen-tested twice for the "My Network TV" telenovela, the late night soaps. I actually booked one but they cancelled it a week before it started shooting.

CBS.com: What is your background?
Bruce: I am from Vancouver, British Colombia originally. I’m a Canadian citizen. Then I moved to Seattle with my mother. I went to the University of Washington. I was studying Economics. I was into Drama in high school but I didn’t think it was practical at the time so I started going into Business.

Then I took one Drama class [at the University of Washington] and I fell in love with it. I ended up double majoring in Drama and Economics. I graduated, and then I moved to San Diego and did some Theater down there. Then I moved to Los Angeles because I wanted to make some money. [Laughs] And the rest is happening right now.

CBS.com: Do you still live in L.A. or did you relocate to N.Y. for As the World Turns?
Bruce: I had a place [in L.A.] but I am putting all my eggs in one basket [in New York]. I don’t want to think about moving back to L.A.--I want to stay out here and be successful.

CBS.com: Who have you been working with?
Bruce: I’ve worked a lot with Kathryn Hays who plays Kim and Don Hastings who plays Bob. The majority of my scenes involve Kelley Hensley [Emily] and Grayson McCouch [Dusty]. They’ve all been very welcoming, unbelievably supportive. I feel so blessed to be working at this place with these people. It’s really a dream come true.

Over the next few weeks, you can look forward to the next few actor appearances on Guiding Light:

• Tom Pelphrey will return early in 2008 for an undisclosed period of time.

• Tim Meinelschmidt will be giving Olivia awful news when he appears in the role of Dr. Lane on Wednesday, November 28.

• John Michael Hill will be getting pushed around by Cyrus and Harley when he appears on Monday, December 3.

• Ian Alda will be making his first appearance as Einstein on December 3.

TV Guide has come out with a list of the top 30 soap opera actors on TV. Here's a sampling of the top 10:

1. Tie: Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer, General Hospital), Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester, The Bold and the Beautiful)

3. Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord Davidson, One Life to Live)

4. Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne, Guiding Light)

5. Michael E. Knight (Tad Martin, All My Children)

6. Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers Newman, The Young and the Restless)

7. David Canary (Adam/Stuart Chandler, All My Children)

8. Heather Tom (Katie Logan, The Bold and the Beautiful)

9. Maura West (Carly Snyder, As the World Turns)

10. Jane Elliot (Tracy Quartermaine Spencer, General Hospital)

TV Guide's Michael Logan is hoping the writers' strike is good for The Young and the Restless.

How come? Because rumors have it that executive producer/head writer Lynn Marie Latham (pictured) - who Logan says "has nearly ruined the once-glorious soap" - will not return, no matter when and how the walkout ends.

When contacted, a representative for the CBS soap opera hemmed and hawed, but didn't deny Latham's ousting or reports that Sony programming VP Steve Kent has now taken command. Kent was supervising producer of Santa Barbara, arguably the best daytime drama ever.

JQ DePaiva (son of Kassie DePaiva) will be reprising his role of Jason, a young man with cochlear implants, on the December 12 episode of Al My Children.

As Spike undergoes surgery, Jason will lend some moral support to his new friend Kendall.

In a recent interview with Soap Opera Digest, Brian Kerwin was asked about a career that goes back many years prior to his current stint on One Life to Live...

Soap Opera Weekly: So, I was looking you up on IMDb.com.
Brian Kerwin: Am I on it?

Weekly: Are you on it? I printed seven pages for you. I'd like to mention the names of some shows you've been on, and then you can comment on them, okay?
Kerwin: Okay.

Weekly: The Young and the Restless (as Greg Foster, 1976-'77).
Kerwin: In terms of the starting of my career, one of the best things to ever happen to me was getting hired on The Young and the Restless. The only thing that may have been better was, six months later, getting fired from The Young and the Restless. It was a mutual dissatisfaction. I thought I would never do a soap again. I had a very bad experience working on that show and I certainly stayed away from soaps for the longest time based on that.

I was there for 40 episodes, six months. I was David Hasselhoff's (ex-Snapper) brother. Maybe I was young and silly, but I truly did not get along with the producer, John Conboy, at all, one little bit.

Weekly: The Love Boat (Ted Lawrence, 1980-'81).
Kerwin: The Love Boat was fun. The one I remember doing — I did two of them — was when they did a real cruise. They flew me down to San Juan, Puerto Rico. We all hopped on a boat and took two weeks to get back to Los Angeles. So, as far as I was concerned, that was a pretty good job. Don't remember anything about the show, but the cruise was nice.

Weekly: How about Roseanne (Gary Hall, 1990)?
Kerwin: That I truly enjoyed. I loved all the people in that. I've worked with Laurie Metcalf (Jackie) a couple times. Roseanne's a little wacko sometimes. John Goodman is one of the finest actors working. I just liked all the people. The biggest problem with that show was they picked me right at the end of one season for two episodes where I get engaged to Jackie. The plan was all through the next year or two or three, I would be getting married to Jackie, getting maybe divorced from Jackie.
