Massey plays Will Horton on “Days of Our Lives,” while Freddie Smith was known for his portrayal of Sonny Kiriakis. Their fans affectionately call them “WilSon.”

Career-defining moments

Regarding his career-defining moments, Massey said, “For me, I really think the Will and Sonny love story is the defining moment in my career, where Freddie and I got to develop these two characters.”

“That was definitely my biggest moment, as well as my most challenging one and most meaningful,” Massey added.

“Getting the opportunity to work on ‘Days of Our Lives’ was a defining moment for me, especially to be a part of a storyline that is so important. That has defined my life in a really wonderful way thanks to all of the love and support that has been around it,” Freddie Smith said.

“The ability to work in the acting world for nine to 10 years straight, in this kind of volume, has been really crazy. Chandler and I have probably filmed more scenes than Robert De Niro in his career. The volume of the work has just been awesome, I am very grateful. When somebody calls me, I answer to both Sonny and Freddie,” Smith added.

Success

Massey defined the word success as “being happy doing something that makes me happy, and is not hurting someone else.”

“Success is choosing to be happy regardless of what is going on in life,” Massey added.
