AustinPeck: If I can make your skin crawl, then that brings a huge smile to my face. I hope I can make your skin crawl every single day!
AskNBC: guest-dacil21 says: Question for Austin: Some of the recent storylines on Days have been pretty unbelieveable ... even more so than in the past. Do you think that Days storylines are getting too "out there" for the fans to handle?
AustinPeck: You seem to still be watching! I agree with you, but that is what makes Days so entertaining. Ahh the wonder that is Daytime television!
AskNBC: bushguy1 says: Hi Austin,I was wondering what you think about how Austin and Carrie are drifting apart, as she has feelings for Mike. How do you feel about the possible breakup of Carrie and Austin after you 2 fought to overcome so much to be together over the past few years? Thanx.
AustinPeck: Why does eveyone keep bringing up Mike? I don't what you are talking about. Carrie is my wife and that is just the way it is. You all need to butt out!! lol!!
AskNBC: guest-smiley2 says: When did you decide that you wanted to be an actor?
AustinPeck: When I was a teenager.
AskNBC: guest-mckenzie101 says: Do you ever want to move on to direct/ produce?
AustinPeck: That would be something I think I would be interested in, but it would be way in the future. Produce yes, I don't know about directing.
AskNBC: guest-icdaysdou says: whats the most embarrasing thing thats happened to you on the set?
AustinPeck: I have a tendency to fall down in scenes.
AskNBC: kimrenee1 says: Hi Austin! I like your new look. Did you have to go to the producers first?
AustinPeck: No, i just started doing it gradually. I feel usually if you ask them you will get a no. So you just do and then let them tell you no.
AskNBC: guest-hk0611 says: Do you have plans for the upcoming holidays?
AustinPeck: I am going to be with my family and friends in a cabin in the mountains.
AskNBC: guest-mckenzie101 says: Did you enjoy modeling and if so will you ever model again?
AustinPeck: I did enjoy it, but I always thought I needed to do something more with my life. If Armani called tomorrow, you are darned right you would do it.
AskNBC: cats-meow24 says: Austin is it true that you were born in Hawaii and did you live there as a child?
NBC_Live: (note: get your last questions in for AUSTIN PECK!)
AustinPeck: yes I was but we moved when i was two.
AskNBC: guest-tina23 says: What is the biggest drawback of being famous?
AustinPeck: Everybody has an opinion of you and everybody thinks their opinion is more valid than the other persons. But it comes with the business.
AskNBC: guest-wheetie says: now another one? are the kissing/romantic scenes as difficult as they look?
AustinPeck: I didn't know they looked difficult, but I love kissing Christie because we trust each other.
AskNBC: guest-ashleigh says: How does it feel to be in such demand of all these woman?
AustinPeck: It feels great! But with it comes a sense of responsibilty to be a certain way and ther pressure to conform to what everybody wants you to be. But hey, it comes with the job and it feels great.
