James Scott portrays EJ Wells on Days of Our Lives. How does he feel about this character? That's what our friends at BuddyTV asked the actor:

You've gotten to play a lot of different types of characters within the character of EJ Wells – a good guy, a very bad guy – and what do you like playing more?
I prefer to play a bad guy. It's a lot more interesting. You can have a lot more fun, I think. Good guys, their role is pretty clean cut. They turn up, they say the right thing and, generally speaking, they end up running in circles looking like idiots, for the most part. Bad guys always tend to be smarter than that.

Where do you get the inspiration to be a bad guy?
I am not a very nice person, myself, which I find helps a lot. [laughs] I don't know. I don't know where I get the inspiration from. I've kind of been able to play with a lot of different characters, and I find that it doesn't come too hard to be able to do that. I think everybody has sides of them that are dark, and if you have experience as an actor and able to tap into those things, then it's not too hard to bring them to the surface.

According to readers of Soaphunks.net, Days of Our Lives was, simply put, The Hunkiest Soap of 2007.

That honor was largely due to the man fans voted as the year's Best Hunk, James Scott. As you can tell by the results below, the actor beat out some seriously tough, hot competition, most notable Brandon Beemer and Austin Peck:

Do you agree with these results?

But this Days of Our Lives star is focused on the color green instead.

Scott is a co-founder of Urth Solution, a company that helps developing markets capitalize on their natural resources in an environmentally friendly way.

"I was thinking about doing something like this for a few years," the soap opera hunk told Soap Opera Digest. "It's good to carry some sort of certification of being Green. I thought I'd try and find a company that would help communities in resource-rich areas to be able to harness those resources in a sustainable way then sell them for a premium to the West. It's basically about helping communities help themselves."

With that in mind, Urth Solution was born a year ago.

"People have been very receptive to it," said Scott. "Urth Solution helps communities in developing countries find ways to address social, environmental and humanitarian issues."

The actor just got back from Bolivia on behalf of the company.

"Basically, we find communities that are rich in natural-asset wealth," he continued. "In Bolivia, we found a community that has a lot of gold. So we're investing in a program to help the residents of that community mine the gold in an environmentally sustainable way, so that we can generate profits for the community."

Urth Solutions currently has projects in Bolivia and Madagascar. Scott hopes to branch out even further.

"I'm going to Mongolia in September," he said. "I have been asked by World Bank to go and give a small presentation on my company, which they see as being a fairly good model for progressive businesses."

It sure does appear that way.
