While speaking with Soap Opera Digest, Wally Kurth opened up about why he enjoys playing Eddie Maine so much. “That’s always nice when you can step away from the role that you’ve put yourself in your life — even in real life,” he said. “I always try to bring my real life into these stories because it just gives it more depth or resonance for me.” It’s fun for the actor to take a small break from businessman Ned Quartermaine and discover all of Eddie’s truths.
“The truth for Eddie is that he doesn’t want to live in this big mansion,” Kurth explained. “He doesn’t want to live with these people. Not that he doesn’t like these people, but he really feels like he needs to be on the stage. He wants to just make music.” He emphasized that playing Eddie is just like playing a different character altogether. “That’s pretty cool because I’ve been doing this character [Ned] for a long time,” Kurth said.
