You only get one shot so you are better off making the best of it. If there’s anyone who goes into work giving it his all each day, you can believe that it’s Days of Our Lives star Galen Gering.
Here’s What Galen Gering Really Thinks About His Job On Days Of Our Lives
The actor opened up in an interview with Soap Opera Digest about his role and playing a cop on daytime television.
Asked about how it feels like to put on a cop’s uniform, the handsome actor said, “Well, it’s, ‘Is it always a button-down [shirt] and a blazer? Can it just be a pullover?’ Sometimes I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s too casual.’ Or, ‘That’s too dressy.’”
“It depends on the storyline that you have. It’s definitely nice not to be in a polyester cop outfit and to have that flexibility.”
Galen also said that when he first started the role, he did do a lot of research to make sure that he played the most believable cop on the canvas.
He said, “I did, originally. One of my best friends was actually a detective in Long Beach. I would do ride-alongs with him. When I was on PASSIONS [as Luis], I was playing a cop, too.”
“We had a bunch of specialists that would come in and teach us how to enter a room, how to hold a firearm, or how to cover another cop. There was definitely a bit I had to learn.”

When asked if it’s ever frustrating that daytime television cops don’t solve many crimes, he said, “It used to be something that bothered me more a long time ago. I’d think, ‘Oh, my God. We’re so inept. We can’t bring these people to justice.’”
“Then I had a simple realization. In theory, most of the people committing them, probably 99 out of 100 on the show, should be locked up or would be locked up in the real world.”
