Members MarkH Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 A longer Emmy interview is here. As usual, Roger Newcomb is my pointer to it. He addresses the screen time issue from, I think, a remarkable perspective of gratitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 I think that Emmy win may have saved Bryton from being terminated or dropped to recurring last year. I hope this Emmy nomination saves him again. There are not many African American young males on the soaps so it is good that he is at Y&R, even if they refuse to give him much to do.

Members jcar03 Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 He won two years ago. The kid receives a nomination for just showing up because the Younger Actor category is so sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 That was never the case. I really don't like him. He comes off as obnoxious [on screen, as judgemental Devon; I don't know what he's like IRL], he has no screen presence and no real charisma or sex appeal. To me, his storylines have always been as coma-inducing as his onscreen father's storylines. But what he said in the interview was, yeah, cool. At least he's grateful.

Members jfung79 Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 Billy Magnussen and Mick Hazen are both good, I don't understand why neither made it from ATWT. So the category is not *that* sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members classicmoment Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 Bryton is capable, I don't think his lack of presence is much of his own contribution. I don't think his lack of character power or integrity is much of his contribution either, clearly his character is only a bit less mis-understood and mis-handled as Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 "Sometimes there are years or months when it's slow but it's such a process I'm sure the writers go through." And here's the process: Hogan Sheffer: Oh, f**k. We gotta throw whatshisface a bone. He's got like [enter number here] number of appearances left on his guarantee. Maria Arena Bell: Well, what if we have Devon go deaf? Scott Hamner: He's already deaf. MAB: Really? SH: Devon's adopted, isn't he? He already knows who his mother is. What if Devon decides to look for his dad? Better yet, what if he were to learn his dad doesn't know anything about him? MAB: How would he learn that? HS: Della Reese could tell him when she reveals Tyra isn't really Yolanda's sister. MAB: That's so abitrary. (Beat.) I love it. But...doesn't that mean we'll have to cast someone to play Devon's dad? SH: Shhh, I'm busy working on Colleen's big storyline. Beat. Hogan, Maria and Scott all laugh. End of scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
