Thaao Penghlis, who portrays Tony DiMera on Days of Our Lives, recently revealed the storyline he would most like to revisit, and it doesn’t involve Tony at all.
Penghlis discussed his history with the soap during an interview with Pop Culture Radio, where he reflected on his early days on Days of Our Lives, the actors he worked with, and his podcast The Lost Treasures.
Penghlis first joined Days of Our Lives in 1983, and has returned to the series multiple times over the decades in various roles.
During the interview, Penghlis was asked which storyline from the soap opera’s past he would most like to revisit. “Probably Andre the clown,” he responded.
In 2007, Penghlis portrayed Tony’s doppelgänger cousin Andre DiMera in a storyline that saw Andre dress as a clown and terrorize Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney). The performance earned Penghlis a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor at the 2008 Daytime Emmy Awards.
Penghlis explained why the storyline stood out to him, saying, “I loved upsetting people.”
He then described the mindset behind those scenes, explaining “Sometimes you do scenes and you have such pleasure, especially when you're a villain, and you have such pleasure in upsetting the actress, but what you get out of them is a good performance.”
He continued, “You know, it's not like you're being nasty or anything. It's just you understand their vulnerabilities in the areas that are boundaries that you sometimes try to break and be at the edge and then they get very nervous with it. So, it creates this tension between you.”
“So that storyline I liked a lot.”
