Love Out Loud VII and Mark Dobies



This native of Northeast Philly (Kensington & Allegheny) debuted as the "hottest newcomer to daytime TV", in his role as Noah Chase on Guiding Light and his portrayal of sociopath Daniel Colson, on One Life to Live, was acclaimed, as the highest rated storyline for its demographic in the thirty-five year history of the show. His most challenging role by far was Off Broadway at The Public Theatre, playing Bruce Niles in The Normal Heart. The revival of Larry Kramer's landmark play detailing the AIDS crisis in the early eighties was as gruelling as it was rewarding. "We had to deal with death every night for three hours. It was however, one of the greatest learning experiences of my life". Listening to Mr. Dobies talk about his craft and his various and sundry approaches to it is enlightening. He asks the right questions and gives more than a few right answers and insight. The man, a good friend to this cause for years, is worthy of more than simple interest. He was one of the first posts on this web log in 2005. Once he becomes your friend, the dull moments are few and far between.

The indefatigable Mr. Dobies will also help you stay fit and strong with Ciber Body Fitness. He is expanding that part of his life in leaps and bounds. There are other irons in the fire that may yet get you to see him on the small screen once more.
