Goddard shared a funny story with his fans on Instagram. The GH star was at UCLA. His son, Sebastian, is in a summer class. One fan looked at him and said, “You’re Professor Dalton.” Goddard laughed as he recalled this moment. He shared, “It just dawned on me. I’m in college and I play Professor Dalton on TV, and someone recognized me as a professor, and I’m like, ‘Oh gosh! I play Professor Dalton on TV, so I thought it was funny.”
Goddard just wanted to hop online to share this funny moment with fans. In his caption, he wrote, “That crazy moment where Life imitates Art… and it takes you a second to process it.
