"A dream and an honor," is how Christopher Sean, who plays Paul Narita, a very sexy, but yet a very gay professional baseball player on Days of our Lives, describes his job. With his charm and appeal, along with his suave and debonair exterior, he admits to being one lucky guy to be able to play such a part.
First: Can you imagine being hired to break up Will (Guy Wilson) and Sonny (Freddie Smith)? The hottest couple on daytime TV.
"When I found out that will be my role, I was so excited," Sean said.
"I mean they are today's Super Couple. I was so nervous, but I am giving it the best work I can possibly do, and I must add, the fantastic job the writers' are doing with the character."
Sean auditioned for the role and said that the stars must have been aligned. "I remember the day well. It was a huge casting call for this part. A large group of people from every ethnic background," Sean explains. "Being an Asian American, who would of thought? I screen tested with Freddie Smith. I just went in there and puckered up and planted one on him (laughing), and hoped for the best, and here I am."
Sean said his character of Paul is a very exciting character for the fans to look at and watch. He is a man of mystery and not to mention the dark cloud his mother, Tori (Hira Ambrosino) has over her head that is coming to a climax in the story.
"I also like the fact that Paul is honest and truthful, but he is walking a fine line of remaining that way." Sean said. "I like to remain an open book, but yet have people guessing."
Working on Days of our Lives is "very fast paced," Sean said. The whole show is so family orientated, it is just a great place to be around. He added that he likes doing a soap opera for the daily regiment of work. "I really do! I like something that is consistent and I like to follow a routine." he said.
Sean also has a recurring role on Hawaii-Five-O playing the character of Gabriel Waincraft, and said it is a lot of fun to do. Hawaii Five-O does not move as fast as Days of our Lives. "On Days I always have more material, which is what I love, but as an actor...I like to remain being versatile. A change is scenery and a chance to explore my acting abilities is always nice."
Sean also owns his production company, called Between The Lines Productions. He loves to produce various projects and is proud of a parody he did on the Twilight saga called "Twiharder."
"I own this company because as an Asian American actor, let's face it, it is hard to find work," Sean said. "With this company, I'm a working actor. I get to showcase my own acting abilities, and I find this very rewarding."
Sean said that he has two goals in life. He wants to continue to create creative content, and he wants to give back. He is very active in many non-profit organizations and said that he is very involved in focusing on one for people with special needs.
In his off time, Sean loves to workout, cook, and read comic books. He describes himself as a "guy's guy."
Soapdom wants to know if you have any message to your fans? " Oh Yes! I love them. I appreciate them. I will always do the best to reach back to those that reach."
