Jerome Preston Bates Comments on All My Children Role
Look for Jerome Preston Bates to take on a central role on All My Children throughout November.
And in what ways will this veteran actor contribute to the show?
Im involved in a main storyline with everybody Erica, Greenlee, Kendell, Aiden Im going to have a scene with everybody within the next couple of days, Bates said to Metro Spirit, a newpaper from his hometown of Augusta, GA.
Its the only featured black character that they have on the show. Its a good role, a role of integrity and authority. They havent put me into any slimy stuff yet.
The busy actor, who helped direct a series of plays in Georgia last month, is excited about his first soap opera gig. But he also acknowledges how hectic it can be.
Its good work and its a character-driven story. But it is a rather grueling schedule, Bates said.
We have no doubt it's one he's up for, however.
