Speaking to the publication, Rory said that he knew that he and Josh would click the moment that he met him. He recalled the time that Josh came in to read with him during his audition for The Young and the Restless. He said, “I came in and Josh was immediately just super-chill. I could tell without him saying anything that he’s this cool, laid- back dude. I was already feeling comfortable around him and he went out of his way to make sure everyone in the room was comfortable, too.”
When asked how he felt about the audition afterwards, Rory said, “I just knew it went well but I felt the chances were slim because there were a couple of other dudes [testing], but for me, it was a great experience that I now had under my belt. I hoped that it would lead to future auditions with Y&R.”

Josh also said that he was happy that Rory got the job. He said that when he found out, “It was a couple of days later and I was just glad, because Rory was the guy I wanted to play Noah. It’s unfortunate that he’s so ugly and tough to look at, you know, but we’re making do. On Y&R, we adapt. I wanted our relationship to get off on the right foot by being honest. He’s a great actor, just not a very good-looking man.”
Rory then said, “I saw Josh the day before I actually started and we had a nice long talk, where he reassured me that everyone here is super-cool and gave me great advice.”
Josh added, “My advice to new people is always the same, that this is a team sport. I tell them to be prepared, know your stuff and don’t be afraid to take chances. I really like it when people find little things that make their character unique. I like actors who aren’t afraid to take big swings. This was the same advice Peter Bergman [Jack] gave me when I started, so I’ve sort of taken that mantle of telling new people to be a part of something because this is a show of very rich history.”
And that’s a history in the making, too!
