Actor Bill Barrett (“The Oval”) chatted with Digital Journal’s Markos Papadatos about the upcoming second half of Season 2 of “The Oval” on BET, which premiers on Tuesday, July 20, and his other acting projects.
“I am so pumped for the second half of Tyler Perry’s ‘The Oval’,” he said. “These past two months have been a long time, I have been waiting. Everything looks so good up until now. Episode 13 was wild, it was a good place to cut it off for the midseason finale.”
“I’ve had the chance to work with completely different actors in Season 2 so it has been really fun to work with everybody,” he said. “It is interesting to see the different worlds of the whole show. Going from a Secret Service Agent in the White House to now being out on the run, and also trying to get revenge back is a lot of fun. It’s wild,” he said with a laugh.
Barrett also opened up about his experience in “First Wives Club,” and doing the film “Reverend Falls.” “‘First Wives Club’ has been great. It just premiered on BET,” he said. “IT was a great cast and a great group of people. They have been really supportive just like ‘The Oval.’ I love comedy, so that has been fun for me to do.”
He described the short film “Reverend Falls” as a great experience. “That was a short film that I did two years. It was an interesting character. The movie involves a preacher who is battling with his beliefs on being atheist even though he is a reverend. It takes viewers on a journey and I thought it was a really interesting project to be a part of for that reason,” he said.
In the first half of Season 2, he noted that the cabin scenes with Travis Cure (who plays Bobby) were “a lot of fun.” “I love working with Travis, he is amazing. He has such great energy, excitement, and enthusiasm. He’s a really good dude,” he said.
Barrett concluded about “The Oval,” “Season 2 has been fascinating every week, there is so much character development and you know the people better. Now, you can get into their lives and their minds more.”
