Funny Business - ABC Soaps in Depth...

He may play a bad guy on TV, but anyone who knows Timothy D. Stickney will tell you he is the polar opposite of his alter ego.

"It is one of my favorite things about playing a villain on a soap. One day I can be funny, the next I'm mad." But is it difficult to find that delicate balance with such a bad seed? "Well, the hardest thing is to justify the farcical days because I try to base it in as much reality as I can so it's not ridiculous," he says.
