The October 1979 issue of The Soap Box newsletter featured a story on actor Chris Goutman, who was playing Marc D'Antoni on CBS's SEARCH FOR TOMORROW at the time. He would later go on to star on THE EDGE OF NIGHT, TEXAS, and RYAN'S HOPE and work work as a director and/or producer at ALL MY CHILDREN, ANOTHER WORLD, AS THE WORLD TURNS, THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, and DAYS OF OUR LIVES.
The article opens with this line: "Christopher Goutman may not be a name that immediately rings bells for you but file it away in your memory because over the next few years, his name may sound as familiar to you as your own."
He said later in the article, "I don't think I'm cut out to do anything but what I'm doing." What would the daytime soap landscape look like today if he had stayed in acting?
