Talk:Jake Webber (Hudson West)/@comment-31730813-20170615030636

This is why I actually came by, I am watcing today's ep and Jake is in a session with his psychiatrist (his name just fell out of my brain, one of those days!) and I am so incredibly impressed with Hudson West! I have loved him in this role and today was a great example of why. ONe of the hardest things to do as an actor is to listen. Ask anyone who knows anything about the craft and they will agree. We have all kinds of tricks for things like laughing and crying... but listening? That is raw talent and then usually a great coach. Watching Hudson as Jake listen to his doc talk about Cassidine Island is amazing. Hopefully everyone got to see that today. Fantastic casting, we all know age of children have to change often to serve story (if every soap baby stayed their real age, we would be watching Romper Room). I don't know who he studied with, but this is quite a skilled actor at any age.
