“We are doing the best we can while in quarantine,” he said. “Luckily, I set myself up for success with my in-home studio to do voice-over work and it has worked wonders for us. I am waiting to go back to work. I booked a job in Montreal and I’m filming a secret project, where I am one of the leads. I am very excited to announce it soon.”
Sean is thrilled to be a part of the 2020 “Samantha’s Friends” benefit fundraiser, which is now slated to take place on September 19 and 20, at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club in Florida. The proceeds from the event aid the Southeastern Guide Dogs, and it is now in its 23rd year. “It got postponed to make sure everybody is safe and protected,” he said. “People can always expect laughter and lots of love. It is a great group of celebrities that are coming together for a great cause.”
“Samantha’s Friends is a well-oiled machine and I am lucky to be a part of it,” he added.
Last year, Sean earned a Daytime Emmy pre-nomination for “Outstanding Supporting Actor” for his portrayal of Paul Narita on Days of Our Lives. “That is really cool. A pre-nomination is still a win. I felt that the work I did was great. The fact that I got pre-nominated is really amazing,” he admitted. “The work that goes into a soap opera is one of the hardest forms of acting. This is why the show has been going on for its 56th year.”
Speaking of Days of Our Lives, one of the biggest moments is “being told that I was going to be Drake Hogestyn’s son.” “That was one of the coolest things,” he said. “Also, when my character, Paul Narita, comes out to his mother and then his grandfather. For me, that was the most important moment in my daytime tenure, since it was an honest, genuine and scary moment. I wanted to make sure it was real, honest and genuine. So many people deal with that and I wanted to tell their stories.”
He also voices the lead character Kazuda Xiono in the animated series Star Wars Resistance.
Regarding the title of the current chapter of his life, he responded, “Doing my part for others in this quarantine.” “Stay strong, stay healthy, together we flatten the curve. It’s very hard but make sure to do simple things like wearing masks and washing your hands. The more we stick together in this, the faster we get out of this together,” he explained. “This is also a reset button on mother nature,” he added.
He has been staying fit in this pandemic doing P90X workouts at home. “It’s a full-body intense body workout for 90 full days,” he said.
When asked what track and field event he would do, he said, “I would probably do the 100 meter dash because I was always very fast. I’ve always been quick on my feet. I would love to do the 400 meter dash and the long jump as well.”
On Saturday October 10, Sean will be a part of the “Salem Proud” Spectrum Celebrity Event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For each ticket sold, Spectrum will donate $10 to the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
Sean defined the word success as “steps forward, whether it is big steps or baby steps.” “Continuing to move forward. Success is always forward progression and if you fall back, get up and continue to step forward. Always push hard,” he concluded.
