"Crawford"
Congratulations on your role in the highly-anticipated new comedy series “Crawford.” We are thrilled for you. It was this experience as a dramatic actor that made working on Crawford so much fun because the characters all take themselves so seriously and aren’t ever playing for a joke.
Mike (Clattenburg) also gives his actors so much agency. He allows us room to come up with stuff on the spot or explore different ways a scene might go, which my dogs on the show, Tulip, and Molly, took a little too far from time to time.
Bryce’s most important relationship in the show, aside from his dogs, is with Cynthia, whom other people in the show called ‘mom’ (mum if you’re reading this in Canada). It’s how he connects with the characters in the show and the things he’s willing to put up with, like being the side piece to a happily married, middle-aged couple with kids.

We’re dealing with a family who loves and supports each other so deeply. However, the mother has (ahem, an exceedingly attractive and charming) boyfriend, the dad is mute from his stroke and has to communicate through an automated voice on his phone, the eldest son, a failed musician, connects a little too deeply with raccoons, the daughter’s dating a dirtbag, and the youngest son is 18 and bald.
"Suits"
You also appeared on USA Network’s “Suits.” My character, Jason Black, was everything we love to hate. He’s privileged, cocky, and willing to do whatever it takes to look out for number one, including letting the wrong man go to jail to protect himself.
Most of us spend a lot of our time ignoring the devil on our shoulders, hopefully aiming to be a better person. That’s really the biggest treat as an actor: to be able to safely step into a role who is everything you try to avoid, see how that feels, and then step out of it at the end of the day.
"Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments"
You appeared as Quinn in “Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments”. Vampires are sexy. I think that’s why they keep coming back to TV. Quinn really inhabited that world. He spent most of his time at a nightclub-type bleeder den, sucking blood from women’s necks, ankles, and wherever else he could.
Nothing was ever enough for Quinn and the thing he wanted more than anything to become a ‘Daylighter’ - a vampire who could walk in sunlight. In the end, his desire for more is what did him in.

Dr. Dunn
You also play Dr. For people who haven’t seen it, yet, I’ll stay away from spoilers. The show tackles a really tough subject: should people lose control over their own lives and how they end? We have all these life support machines designed to keep someone breathing but who are we doing this for, the person in the hospital bed or their loved ones?
In season two, Dr. Dunn is the new head of the ER, which gives Mary something to contend with that is different from season one. To her, Dunn is an unknown variable and in her line of work, an unknown can be a scary thing. I think Dr. Dunn struggles with Mary.
Future Projects and Aspirations
I just shot a Christmas movie. Needless to say, it’ll be out next December. I’m kind of a Christmas freak and my family still has all our Christmas traditions we stick to every year, including making sure we see all the same movies we’ve been watching since we were kids. So getting to be in one myself was awesome. Maybe I’ll start making them watch this new one every year.
I am a big wine lover and I want to share that with as many people as I can. I’d love just a little hole in the wall where people can become regulars.
