Like every actor before, Lisa Yamada was in no way prepared for the daily grind that awaited her at The Bold and the Beautiful.

Lisa Yamada On Early Days At B&B

“They totally hazed me my second week on set,” opined Yamada to Soap Opera Digest (with a hearty hint of humor). “They literally gave me, like, 45 pages of dialogue in one day and I was going to cry.

“The night before, I was like, ‘I can’t do this! I don’t know, they think too much of me. There’s no way I can do this!’” Luckily, the young actress had a wise sage on hand to dispense exactly what she needed to hear.

“John McCook told me, ‘Just take it one scene at a time. You don’t have to memorize all of it. Just know it and take your time with it and if you need [more] time, they’ll be okay with it, they’ll give you the time that you need.’ And that day, I killed it! …I was so exhausted, but it was so much fun! And after I got that over with, I was like, ‘Okay, if I can do that, I can do anything!’”
