Article Title:

Bye-Bye, Broadway

For Joseph Barbara, Grease! isn't the word

S

ure he'll miss the bright lights, the screaming fans and the private dressing room. But then again, admits Joseph Barbara, "Sleep is good."

Sleep is pretty hard to come by when you spend long days as a soap star and long nights as a Broadway star. That's just what Barbara did for five months beginning in April. The ambitious actor, whose day job is playing Joe on ANOTHER WORLD, sacrificed his beauty rest (not that you need any, Joe) and his social life to meet the grueling demands of both a frontburner soap storyline and the lead role in the hit Broadway musical Grease!.

But after a while, as you might imagine, the schedule began to get to him. "I knew it would be tough," he says, "but I never really thought about how it hard it was going to be."

So last month-much to the dismay of the show's producers-box-office friendly Barbara turned in his leather Danny Zuko jacket and climbed back full-time into the sensible suspenders and smart loafers favored by his police-detective alter ego.

"I'm looking forward to living a normal life again, Barbara says, smiling. He's just come back from a vacation in Aruba and, at the moment, isn't thinking about the future: "I haven't really given much thought to what I am going to do next."

Not that he lacks options. The producers of the musical have left the doors open for his return, and he's already bucking for a chance to audition for a role in Grease 3, the movie-if it ever gets made. No matter what comes about, he'll surely be ready to take it on. After all, having moonlighted on Broadway, he's learned more than just how to belt out a killer rendition of "Summer Nights."

"You can fit a lot in your life when you have to," Barbara says. "I should use my time that wisely always."

This Article I just received, from Cathy. Thank You Very Much, Cathy!

This Article is from Soap Opera Digest

When Joseph Barbara landed the role of private eye Joe Carlino on AW the thought of being in the same room with his co-star gave him hives.

Originally, Carlino was supposed to share his scenes-and apartment space-with a cat called Serpico. "The name Serpico was perfect for Joe's cat," Head writer Carolyn Culliton relates,"because the character in the film Serpico was an honest cop just like Joe was before he went into the P.I. business."

But a cat-trasrophe emerged: Barbara is allergic to felines. "I was willing to try out certain cats, "Barbara laughs, though other atempts to share air space with a four-legged furball were disatrous. "I've been to people's houses who have cats,and my eyes water and my nose runs."

The solution: An invisible Sepico will be playing a perpetual game of cat-and-mouse in Joe's apartment."Serpico is always going to be under the couch,"Quips Culliton. "He's there,but he's just hiding. He's an anti-social cat."

The Second one is a Questions Section, in this one, you can e-mail me questions, and I will put them on this Page, and then, People can respond.
