just the facts

Birthday: July 29
Born and Raised: Dattilo was born in Kankakee, IL but moved to West Palm Beach, FL with his mother and siblings after his parents divorced.
My Girl: Daughter Delila is 9.
The Big 3-0: Dattilo began his DAYS run on April 15, 1993.
Ghost Stories: “Delila and I love watching PARANORMAL CAUGHT ON CAMERA. We watched 20 episodes today, because she’s home sick. It’s like ghost, Bigfoot and alien videotapes that people send in, and then there are people who comment on them. It’s a really cool show.”
Salem Pals: “I stay in touch with Judi [Evans, Bonnie], make sure she’s okay. I also stay in touch with Eric Martsolf [Brady]. We like to tease each other. We send each other weird texts and laugh at each other.”
Mama Mia: Dattilo calls Lauren Koslow, who plays his mother, Kate, his “anchor” at DAYS. During his recent fitness journey, “She’s become my weight- loss coach. I’d check in with her when I showed up [at the studio]. I’d tell her that I lost 28 pounds or whatever it was, and she’d be like, ‘You look great. I’m rooting for you. Keep it up.’ ”
