Victor Webster: Marvelous Mutant
Former soap stars turn up in the oddest places! You'll find a bevy of suds buds on Mutant X, a syndie action series based on the Marvel comic book. Definitely the hottest among them is ex-Days of Our Lives looker Victor Webster. Along with co-stars Forbes March (ex-All My Children) and Victoria Pratt (ex-Guiding Light), he's had some laughs about the surrealness of soapdom.
"At fan events, some of the women feel like you belong to them," Webster tells TV Guide Online. "They see you five days a week on Days, so you're their guy. They don't separate it from reality. They'll come right up and try to kiss you or grab you and start walking away with you! Or expect you - when there's a line of 500 people behind them - to stop and have a 15-minute conversation. "It turns into a competition between the ladies," he says, "and it starts getting really strange sometimes, like they're actually going to brawl! I've always wanted girls to fight over me, but come on."
Work is calmer and a bit more satisfying on Mutant X, where Webster enjoys playing more than just "beefcake sexy." Besides practicing martial arts onscreen - he's an expert in real life - he says: "I shoot electricity from my hands!" And he promises the show's fight sequences will start looking less silly come season two. Watching this year's dancy battles, one couldn't help but think of the fleet-footed face-offs in West Side Story!
"I've spoken to the fight choreographer and producer about it," he reveals. "The action's going to be less perfect, much grittier and dirtier. My fighting style is going to be more street." - Daniel R. Coleridge
