January 5, 2009 CBS Soaps In Depth
Y&R's Michael Graziadei (Daniel) has flexed his acting muscle outside Y&R (on CRIMINAL MINDS, 90210, and the movie The Outside). However, he has a special fondness for his role in the horror flick Boogeyman 2. Why? Because it was the first time he was murdered! "I was very interested in doing the death scene, because how do you react when somebody does this to your body?" he smiles, admitting that his character died a slow, gruesome death. "I was having my chest broken apart, my ribs spread open... but my body still had to move forward. The death scenes were like oldschool slasher movies. It wasn't like, 'Okay, let's cut him apart now.' It was like, 'I'm going to brutally murder you on camera now.' " While Graziadei says he wasn't afraid of dying in the film, he was a little worried about telling his mom what the part entailed. "She would have been terrified," he says, laughing. "So I told her that it was a comedy!"
