     Get ready for some more exciting location scenes on “One Life to Live”. The show has taken several of its cast members including Jack Betts (Ivan Kipling), to Silver Springs, Fla., to film jungle scenes that will be part of the evil Ivan’s storyline.

     Incidentally, when Jack appears on the show as “Mr. Fisher,” Dr. Larry Wolek’s 80-year-old patient, the actor spends three hours in the makeup room getting ready for the scenes “One Life” make-up artist. Emilio Gonzales, turns Jack into the older Mr. Fisher by using a material called  “old age stipple,” to create the realistic face and neck skin of old age. “It’s most uncomfortable,” says Jack, “but you know how actors are, they love to suffer for their art.”
