Here’s Why Tom Arnold Loves The Bold and the Beautiful

Of course, we are talking about actor Tom Arnold, who plays Deuce, the Forresters’ private pilot. He is going to be responsible for taking Brooke, Ridge and Steffy to Monte Carlo. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Tom says that this is a role that has been years in the making. That’s mostly because he and The Bold and the Beautiful Executive Producer Bradley Bell have been friends for many long decades.

The actor said, “We were social friends and he’s a very nice guy and a funny guy — and as it turns out, he’s a very powerful guy! He asked if I would like to be on Bold and Beautiful and I go, ‘Well, yeah, of course! When?’”

“And he goes, ‘Wednesday! It’ll be two episodes.’ I go, ‘Oh, boy. How long do I shoot?’ And he goes, ‘Two to three hours.’ I thought, ‘That’s a lie! There’s just no possible way.’ Then I said, ‘Last question — what’s my character’s name?’ He said, ‘Deuce.’ I go, ‘And I’m a pilot? I’m in!’”

Tom also said that he was left quite impressed by the way The Bold and the Beautiful actors film their episodes, calling the entire process “a well-oiled machine.”

He explained, “A lot of times, you shoot a movie and you feel like, ‘Did we get that [shot we needed on camera]?’ And here, I knew they did. They shoot a lot and do a lot and you can tell these people have worked together a long time.” 

“Brad’s very talented, and he’s got a very talented crew. And the actors are excellent. They have a lot of lines, they do it every day.”

“It’s shocking how many episodes they do! I told Brad that when I was on Roseanne, we got a call from ABC saying, ‘We need 25 episodes from you this year.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, my God, how do we do that?’” 

“It seemed impossible! But [at B&B] they do 260 episodes a year. It’s insane! With soap opera actors, there’s no messing around. They’ve got to know their stuff and they’re very good at drama and at emotion.”

Of course, The Bold and the Beautiful fans will have to tune in to find out what will happen next!
