In an interview with TV Insider, Nicoletti expressed his excitement about what the future holds for both him and the show. He further revealed that he has “no complaints” about his work and is always excited to show up.
Further sharing details about his portrayal and expressing gratitude for the opportunity, he added, “It’s so much fun. And I’ve really been enjoying the liberty of figuring out this character for myself and who he is to me and understanding his perspective. There is a sense of play, which I really enjoy, on top of the family aspect. I feel like I’m living out my dream, and every day is a new opportunity to push myself professionally, but also creatively as well.”
Before getting into the role, Nicoletti revealed that he did his research beforehand, figuring out the character’s dynamics with others. “He’s grown into this man who’s really trying to figure out what he values and where his priorities should be,” he said. He described his first day on set as “nerve-wracking.” It was also “overwhelming” for him, as he had never worked on a soap opera before. He was handed scripts and multiple episodes, which felt like a lot to take in at first, but his preparation helped him manage them effectively.
Describing his first day further, he added, “The first day was really the overwhelming one. But after that, once I realized how not only excited people were for me to be there, but that it really feels like a family on that studio lot, any time I was feeling nervous or questioning if I deserved to be there, everybody really took me under their wing and helped me succeed.”
