He's a decent actor. Also, how freaking gorgeous was that set?

So he blew his audition as Jack Brennan!

Coming Around Again
In an interview with the outlet, Goddard explained that he hadn’t been focusing on acting in the years since his Genoa City departure, but late last year, he was contacted out of the blue by his former talent manager, Michael Bruno, who thought the Australian actor would be a good fit for the newly vacant role of Jack Brennan, originally played by Charles Mesure. Goddard agreed to let Bruno submit him for the part, but confessed that with so much time having passed since his last audition, “It was a bizarre experience for me. You feel like, in a way, you’re going back to ground zero, back to the beginning of it all, even though you’ve been on a different soap opera for, like, 15 years. It was humbling, but it was more of an awakening, and in that moment, I felt extraordinarily vulnerable.”

Goddard didn’t land the role — Chris McKenna did — but a few weeks after getting the news that GH had decided to go in a different direction, Bruno called Goddard again — this time with even better news: the show had created a new character, Professor Dalton, and wanted Goddard to play him. “I was just gobsmacked by it,” the actor gushed. “I felt like it was meant to be.”
