Soap Opera Digest: What do you think the Peter Bergman of would have thought if a crystal ball could have shown you a glimpse of this moment, you celebrating 35 years on Young and Restless? Peter Bergman: I was convinced I could relocate my family [from New York] to Los Angeles, because there seemed to be more work out here, and that I could make this job last for six months.

Digest: Having been successful for a long time playing a role so different from Jack, did you nurse any doubts about your ability to play a more cunning character? Bergman: The real truth is, before Cliff Warner, I was often cast as the rich-kid accomplice to the murderer, the spoiled, rich, privileged scion to some business leader. Those were the roles I was cast in a lot in theater.

And so making that switch from Cliff to Jack was easier than most people would have assumed. There were parts of it, though, that were challenging because I did have a predecessor [ Terry Lester ]. I had a guy that was here before me who was well-established and well-liked and so I was surrounded by Jack Abbott experts left and right.

By the time Terry Lester left, Brad Carlton was an annoying little pool, man. They had told me Jack and Jill were lost on a mountaintop and ended up sleeping in front of a fire under the same blanket and things got carried away and, you know, he eventually had to face his father about sleeping with his stepmother. I told Jess that what I was playing [when Jack and Jill were in scenes together] was that it was very cold up there on that mountaintop, and Jack is very confident in who he is in the bedroom, but that was not his best night at all.

And Jill knows that, and Jack knows that she knows that. Bergman: Oh, she loved it! She just absolutely loved it. Embraced it the moment I told her. It was Thomas Scott who first suggested that the show consider Bergman for the role.
