Im posting this part of the interview with MF because he talks about his mother Speaking of Maurice Benard, I know he has been extremely supportive throughout your career at GH. What can you say about your relationship, especially during the difficult time of your mother’s passing? The scenes hes talking about are the scenes he submitted for an Emmy nimination DOMINIC: The scenes with Maurice in the boxing gym were really difficult. They were my first scenes back to work since my mom died, and it was supposed to be emotional, and he and Lisa and I went out to lunch beforehand. I said, “Listen, I have never been through anything like this in my life. They want these scenes to be emotional and I just don’t know what’s going to happen.” I felt so screwed up. Maurice is the most supportive actor I have worked with in my life, bar none. That guy has been a friend and mentor to me since day one. And those scenes were real, and when he put his hand on my arm in that scene and said, “You got me.” It was Mo telling me I had his support and love. So, we are stronger than ever. My mom got ill very quickly. She went into the hospital on September 1st and passed away on September 25th. It was devastating. You know who your friends are at a time like this. I consider Maurice one of my dearest friends for the rest of my life. He makes you a better actor. He has been doing amazing work. Since I have gotten to GH, Maurice has reached a whole other level, and his ego is completely removed. He is not concerned about Maurice anymore, he is just there. You can tell by the end of the week he is just exhausted, because of what he puts into it. I am so honored to be able to work by his side.
