Will you guys watch “A New Orleans Noel” together as a family when it comes out?
Yes — December 3. We are undoubtedly going to be in front of the TV together watching. We’re bringing all the parents and all the uncles and aunts and all that kind of stuff and poke fun at each other while we go on the adventure with Grace and Anthony.
Do people say, like, “Oh, you did that thing — you do that off-screen too,” or joke about your acting personas?
Absolutely, especially because I do work in a lot of different genres. I do sitcoms, but we’ve also done action series, and I just finished another Christmas project — it was a very serious undertone character in a comedy. So yeah, I get a lot of that.
You have to be a really flexible actor to go in and out of all of those roles. Congrats on your Emmy nomination for “A House Divided.” What was it like being recognized for that project?
Super cool. Sometimes when we get the opportunity to be on some of these projects, we never know where it’s going to go or who it’s going to resonate with. The executive producer and writer of that series, Dan Garcia, does a good job of intertangling a bunch of complex stories, and it keeps audiences engaged. I’m grateful to have played a character that people resonate with.
I’ve also seen you in “Outer Banks.” Can we expect to see Special Agent Bratcher in Season 3? I know you may not be able to tell me anything about that.
I can’t talk about Season 3 on “Outer Banks,” but that’s another one that you never know when you get to set, and you feel the magic. The cast on that show are everything that they appear to be on screen. That’s a fun one. It’s shot at mostly exteriors out there, on the banks in real life, out there on the boats, and it’s great times.
It’s such a beautiful location. Does it feel like you’re on vacation when you’re on that kind of set?
Yes. You make sure that, if you can, you’re building in a little bit of downtime to take in the environment around you. I have spent some time around Wilmington. It wasn’t my first project there; I did another one for Nicholas Sparks called “The Choice.” We shot out there, and it’s beautiful scapes.
