Eric Braeden on the character of "Victor Newman" from The Young and the Restless

Actor Eric Braeden describes his The Young and the Restless character, “Victor Newman,” including what he thought of the character when show creator William Bell first described him and what he asked of Bell in response:

"I said, ‘Bill, I have played bad guys for so many years, I’m empty. I can’t do it anymore. Can we somehow assign something to the background of this character that explains why he is who he is, that gives me a sociological background that justifies who he is?’���
