I didn't know that Leo DiCaprio had a small role in Santa Barbara. However, I do think it's a stretch to include a FIVE day part with the other former soap alumni; most of them were contract roles that lasted at least a few years. Having said that, it's a good list with a fair representation of the past and more recent graduates. I would like to add Kevin Bacon and John Wesley Shipps from Guiding Light, Meg Ryan and Marisa Tomei from As the World Turns, and Jensen Ackles from Days of Our Lives.
