WHERE DO WE LIVE

Neighbors on the Lower East Side struggle to live in an increasingly fractured city.

“An exceptionally fine new play that probes with clarity and compassion the lives of a handful of New Yorkers just before, and just after, the events of September 11… Shinn captures, as no playwright yet has, the strange, terrible continuity of those days in New York – how, for most people, little really changed, even as we were being told that everything had.” – Charles Isherwood, Variety


“Christopher Shinn writes with unstinting curiosity, asking what it means to ignore the community in which you live and wondering why empathy seems to be going out of style.” – Kate Kellaway, Observer


“A deeply haunting play about a city struggling against darkness. One can only marvel at Shinn’s ability.” – Matt Wolf, Variety

'Brothers & Sisters': Bobby Soto cast as Kevin and Scotty's possible foster son

By Jethro Nededog August 24, 2010 3:40 PM ET

Kevin (played by Matthew Rhys) and Scotty's (Luke Macfarlane) story lines in "Brothers & Sisters" has a lot of fans wondering what's next for them in Season 5.

Last season, we saw them both go through career shakeups. Yet, one of their bigger storylines involved the hardship of building their family using a surrogate mother.

In next season's one year time jump, executive producer David Marshall Grant, tells us exclusively that the surrogate pregnancy doesn't work out.

"After a year or so, [Kevin and Scotty] are in a place of certain disappointment about that," Grant tells Zap2it. "I think it has taken a lot out of Kevin and I think they put a lot into the surrogate."

Enter young actor, Bobby Soto, who has been cast as Mateo, a troubled teenager who Kevin meets at his law practice (yep, in the one year time jump, Kevin has gone back to practicing law).

"I think that there is the possibility that this kid who has come from a very troubled home," Grant tells us. "And may end up in foster care is maybe somebody that Kevin and Scotty might be able to help along the line, which would be something that could be in place of any more attempts to get a baby."

Soto has appeared in episodes of "Cold Case," "The Closer," and he will appear in an upcoming episode of "Lie To Me." We'll meet his character in the Season 5 premiere of "Brothers and Sisters" titled "Homecoming" airing Sunday, September 26 on ABC.

Don't you think adopting an older child is a good alternative for Kevin and Scotty?

BEGOÑA ARCE LONDRES

Elogiado por su papel de gay de Cinco hermanos, Luke Macfarlane habla de su trabajo en la serie que protagonizan Sally Field y Calixta Flockhart en la cadena Fox y cuya cuarta temporada se estrena esta noche en varias plataformas de pago (22.20 horas).

Nacido en Canadá (1980), el actor encarna a Scotty Wandell, casado con el abogado Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys), cuarto hijo de la familia, ahora es cocinero de un restaurante de Los Ángeles.Luke Macfarlane interpreta el papel de Scotty Wandell en la serie. fox

–¿Admitir públicamente que era gay, como hizo usted hace dos años, fue una decisión difícil?
–Lo pensé mucho. Fue una decisión muy meditada. Había, claro está, ciertos riesgos, ciertos temores...
–¿Y cómo ha sido la reacción?
–Muy positiva en todos los sentidos. La verdad es que sigo teniendo las mismas necesidades y los mismos problemas que antes. Mi vida no ha cambiado básicamente. El día a día es el mismo.
–¿Ser homosexual le ayuda a interpretar un papel como el de Scotty?
–Pienso que entiendes mejor ciertas situaciones. Personajes como el mío ayudan a cambiar la mentalidad de la gente. Además, los anunciantes también se dan cuenta de que los gays son un público rentable.
–¿Cómo se siente en una serie con un reparto tan amplio?
–Me siento muy a gusto. Es algo muy raro para un actor el poder trabajar durante tanto tiempo en una serie. Encontrar cierta estabilidad por un periodo más largo de lo habitual en nuestra profesión, al lado de las mismas personas, es como formar parte de una gran familia.
–¿Se lleva bien con Matthew Rhys?
–Oh sí, muy bien. Es un gran actor y un gran tipo. Matthew es británico y yo soy canadiense, aunque todo el mundo cree que soy estadounidense. Tanto Mathew como yo venimos del teatro y tenemos una forma de entender el trabajo muy similar.
–Usted ha hecho televisión, teatro y cine. ¿Qué medio prefiere?
–Empecé en el teatro y me siento muy bien en el escenario: eres tú el que controlas lo que haces. En el cine mi experiencia es muy limitada. Lo interesante de la televisión es que te metes en una historia en la que no sabes nunca que giro a va tomar ni como va a terminar.
–¿Cree que en el futuro le volverán a ofrecer papeles de heterosexual?
–Espero que sí, pero será interesante ver qué papeles me proponen.
