Carthage grad recurs on AMC Mark E. Tallman, 27, is a working actor from Northern New York who recently moved to New York City to pursue his career. He played football at Carthage Central School and Bucknell University in Pennsylvania before coaching at St. Lawrence University, Canton. Mr. Tallman has a recurring role on the ABC soap opera ALL MY CHILDREN as Kyle, bartender at the Comeback bar. ""Oh, it's incredible. It's not similar to most forms of acting in theater or on film, where you know you have tons of rehearsal time and you do this and that to get all your marks down, dry rehearsals and stuff. With a soap, an entire episode is filmed and done in one day. It's just been an incredible learning experience."
Finola Hughes talks about her style, jewelry line and HOW DO I LOOK?
"I have always had a passion for both acting and fashion. Living in New York City while taping ALL MY CHILDREN opened up many opportunities to meet people in the fashion industry, learn new things about style and eventually meet the right people at the Style Network. But I’m not through with daytime television just yet. Anna will be making an appearance [on GENERAL HOSPITAL] later this month. I have been a fashionista for as long as I can remember. My interest in fashion, and for finding a great bargain, began while shopping in thrift stores as a child in London, and walking through the Portobello Road Antiques Market with my mother on Saturdays."Doug Sheehan directs play at Carroll College
