Key Takeaways
- Joshua shared the unexpected moment that Crew decided to pursue acting.
- Crew had previously shown no interest in performing.
- Joshua supported his son despite initial hesitation.
Joshua Recalls Crew’s Sudden Career Shift
Joshua (Nick, Y&R) explained that Crew’s (Will, B&B) path originally looked very different. He had been focused on sports and was set on a completely different direction. That changed quickly.
While away with his mother, Crew made a decision that caught Joshua off guard. He recalled getting a call and learning that his son no longer planned to follow his original path and instead wanted to become an actor.
When Crew returned home, Joshua talked to him. Crew didn’t hesitate. He told his father he was going to be an actor just like him. Joshua admitted his first reaction was disbelief, pointing out that acting wasn’t as easy as it might seem.
Crew didn’t back down. He confidently responded that they would see, a moment Joshua now recognizes as a sign of his determination.
Crew Morrow Now Stars on B&B
Looking back, Joshua acknowledged that maybe the signs had always been there, even if they weren’t obvious. He describes Crew as someone who had that drive from the beginning. At the same time, Crew hadn’t shown interest in performing growing up. He even avoided school productions, which made the shift even more surprising for his family.
Now, Crew has stepped into the spotlight as Will on B&B. For Joshua, it ultimately came down to supporting his son and wanting him to be happy. Even if the decision came unexpectedly, it’s one he clearly respects.
