Greg Vaughan (Eric, DAYS) remembers his first day as Y&R's Diego in 2002 like it was yesterday. "On my first day, my first scene, I was in bed with Sharon [Case, Sharon], and I thought, 'Welcome to daytime,' he chuckles. "I screen-tested with Heather Tom [ex-Victoria] and really enjoyed working with her and Sharon and Joshua Morrow [Nick], Eric Braeden [Victor] and Peter Bergman [Jack]. I was just surrounded by such incredible, gifted talent. Heather and I had some really good stuff together and I made my grandmother extremely happy. I said, 'This is my grandmother's favorite show; if I can be on her show, she can see me every day and not worry about me but know that I'm working.' Once Vaughan landed the gig, his grandma had a special request. "She said, 'Hey, one favor,' and I said, 'What is it?' She said, 'Get me an autographed photo of Shemar Moore [ex-Malcolm], and I was like, 'Okay, done.' and Shemar came through for me."
