Several members of the group could explore their options, said the act's Howie Dorough. ``We have January off, but I don't think I'm taking time off. I may get into L.A. to try to get into the acting scene and talk to some movie producers,'' he said. While Dorough said he doesn't know what kind of role he wants to play, ``the stereotype, with my being Latin, should be the bad guy with my hair slicked back. But I'm really a good guy; everyone calls me Sweet D!'' Backstreet Boys started the year by changing management and ended it by signing a new multimillion-dollar deal with Jive. ``I'm so glad to see everything work out,'' he said. ``There were doubts for a while. This year we just took one hit after the other.'' He added that none of the Boys are contemplating solo careers. ``We're staying strong as a unit. A couple of us might be producing some artists or doing some acting, but we're definitely still recording together.'' 2) More Billboard Awards results Besides being #1 on four Billboard year-end charts, BSB are also the #2 adult contemporary artist of the year, behind Shania Twain. IWITW is ranked the #15 single of the year, which is extremely high because the song was not even released as a CD single! IWITW is ranked #2 among airplay-only singles, behind Goo Goo Dolls' "Slide." Backstreet Boys' debut album is also the 12th best selling album of the year, despite being released more than two years ago! 3) BSB will be one of the artist shown on VH1: Behind the Music- 1999.
