Wow, I never knew that. John Aniston was also up for the role of Doug Williams on DAYS in 1970, but lost it to Bill Hayes. Bill Hayes ended up marrying his DAYS leading lady, Susan Seaforth, in 1974 - and they are still together! John Aniston ended up in NYC where he landed roles on the now defunct soaps Love of Life and Search for Tomorrow. It was on the former that he met co-star Sherry Rooney and married her. They are also still married today. Then, of course, he went back to LA, landed the role of Victor on DAYS in 1985, his daughter ended up on Friends, and the rest is history!!
