On the greatest lesson that the acting profession has taught him, Little responded, “Empathy.” “I always say that empathy can save the world, if we are all a little bit more empathetic and put ourselves in other people’s shoes,” he said.

“If you just stop and think where people are coming from for a second and maybe their intentions behind their actions, then that can make some positive change in the world,” he added.

“As an actor, you have to emphasize with your character,’ he admitted. You can’t judge your character, especially in soap operas because you never know. You need to be able to look at a person and say ‘I understand’ why they are doing something.”
