ON THE MARK

Nearly Two Years Into His Genoa City Run, Mark Grossman Finally Feels At Home On Y&R.

A wonderful journey” is how Mark Grossman sums up his experience of playing Victor Newman’s outcast son, Adam, a role he took on nearly two years ago, in May 2019. Not surprisingly, the actor finds himself in a much better position than when he debuted. “Definitely in the beginning, it was really hard to get used to everything,” he admits. “It wasn’t until maybe four, five months in that I felt there was some form of normalcy. I got to know everybody, and along with finally understanding the lay of the land, getting accustomed to the sets, the pace, and retaining so much dialogue were the first hurdles I got over.”

Which is not to say that Grossman feels completely at ease on the job. “To be honest, I still don’t feel totally comfortable,” he says. “There are so many things at play because the storylines are always fluid, so you don’t know where they’re necessarily going. I feel I’m constantly trying to figure out my character and a lot depends on the storyline, as well. There are times when you feel either more connected or less connected and that’s just how it goes with me.”
