BRANDON BEEMER (“Evan Blackwell/Young John Blackwell” of THE BAY) talks with OutTakes Interviews…

HOW DID THE BAY COME TO YOU?

Brandon:  It’s one of those things where it’s a small world.  We all like working together; and we’ve sort of everybody’s connected one way or the other.  So we’re aware of the work we all do.  When it comes to the casting, THE BAY has a good inventory of actors to pull from.  I’ve known Gregori Martin for a while.  When he asked if I’d be interested, I saw the show; and it was great.  I knew who I was going to be working with.  I thought it would be a lot of fun, so I said, let’s see what we can do.

YOUR ROLE AS EVAN BLACKWELL, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM “SHAWN BRADY” ON DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Brandon:  We had great locations to shoot at.  We had the entire building of the old Malibu Courthouse that had all of these different courtrooms.  It was fun and didn’t feel like a set.  We really got to play make-believe because there was so much history; they did such a good job of scouting that location.  And as opposed to “Shawn Brady”, as “Evan”, I got to play against my family, trying to take my Aunt Sara (who is my Aunt Kayla on DAYS) down.  She’s such a great actress and so fun to work with.

HOW WAS IT PLAYING THE DOUBLE ROLES OF BOTH EVAN AND YOUNG JOHN BLACKWELL?

Brandon:  That was one of the things Gregori told me about that I thought would be fun.  He told me that temporarily I would be playing two different roles.  I got to wear brown contacts.  Playing “John Blackwell” (Ronn Moss) when he was younger and then playing his son…

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE BAY SCENE OR STORYLINE?

Brandon:  I don’t really have a favorite.  I’ve enjoyed a lot of them.  When I had “Jo Connors” (Kira Reed) on the stand, there were some subtle yet truthful moments.
