Cinematic Crush: Cameron Mathison

Crush object: Cameron Mathison, actor/super soapster.
- Why we like him: For the past ten years, he's been one of the sudsiest studs on daytime television. And can that boy fox trot.
- Film debut: In the disco saga 54.
- What he's known for: As heartbreaker Ryan Lavery on All My Children; host of the SoapNet star search I Wanna Be a Soap Star; season five contestant on Dancing With the Stars.
- Awards on his mantel: Soap Opera Digest Award for "Outstanding Male Newcomer", plus two Daytime Emmy nominations for Best Supporting Actor.
- Bet you didn't know: Diagnosed with a degenerative disease of the hip at an age two, he wore braces on his legs for four years; early treatment helped avoid any lasting effects in adulthood.
- Yes, it's true: Hails from Canada, where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering; has been known to doff his shirt at the slightest urging.
- Side jobs: He and his wife, model Vanessa Arevalo, have their own children's wear clothing line, Kea and Joby.
- Butch hobbies: Basketball and golf.
- Nickname: Cammy Cam (aww).
- Can we quote you on that: (On the life of his soap character) "It's not as exciting as Susan. Nobody's as exciting as Susan." (And yes, that would be Miss Susan Lucci, ladies and gentlemen.)
- Where you can see more of him right now: Doing some dirty dancing, both vertical and horizontal.
