Was it intimidating to join Brothers & Sisters, a show with such a seasoned acting group?It's a dream cast to work with and they truly are a family. We shoot these epic family dinner scenes that'll take 15 hours. Seriously, 15 hours for one scene, and it's a little intimidating to jump into that fray. But they've all been incredibly welcoming and it didn't take long before we were all tossing food at each other. In fact, the first time I met Sally Field I was shooting a scene where I dump two giant sodas on her. I'm like, ‘Hi, I'm Ryan. You've won two Oscars. Now I'm going to bomb you with some Pepsi.' Yikes! Fortunately she took it like a champ. I really love working with this cast—they're super talented and also genuinely cool people.
You'll be playing a grad student who connects with Kitty. Can you talk a little bit about your character and his relationship with Calista's character?Well, I don't want to spoil anything...but I will. My character, Seth, is pretty much the polar opposite of what Kitty should be attracted to. But fortunately that doesn't deter her from responding to my advancements. And what could just be a shallow fling, but it might evolve into something deeper. There's serious chemistry... but potential for even more.
Will your character be interacting with anyone else besides Kitty?Hopefully I don't reveal too much in saying that I'm thrown into the Walker family fray at some point. This is probably the strongest storyline I've had the honor of playing, which is saying a lot because I've been given some really meaty roles. There's just something extra special about what I've got going with Calista, and hopefully the very loyal Brothers & Sisters viewers enjoy it!
What can viewers look forward to in future episodes?Lots of kissing. My apologies in advance to my wife and Harrison Ford. Maybe they shouldn't watch. Lots and lots of kissing.
What projects do you have coming up next?Well, I've been blissfully swamped with acting work lately, which has been great. But in my free time I've been working on an environmental project that combines entertainment with education to help kids take on their carbon footprint. The idea is in the running for a Pepsi grant and it needs all the votes it can get! You can check it out at www.GreenToThe5thPower.com.
