Sean Kanan is exceptional in the lead role as Hollywood star Sam Stevens, an actor in the second-most popular daytime drama, Hearts on Fire. Kanan is able to convey a wide spectrum of raw emotions, while Carolyn Hennessy soars as his ruthless soap opera producer Gloria, who is trying to bring him down at all costs.
Actor Scott Turner Schofield gives an inspirational monologue-heavy performance in the episode “My Authentic Life.” Equally impressive are Tristan Rogers (Doc) and Sarah Joy Brown (Laurie) in their emotional scenes together, when they have a heart-to-heart.
One of the most powerful scenes involves Patrika Darbo (as his mother Violet) and Kanan in the final episode, which is a true revelation. Newcomer Juliet Vega plays the role of Delilah in this series.
