(SoapOperaNetwork.com) — “One Life to Live” places a recurring character on the contract for the second time in less than a week.Â
Only days after the soap upgraded Sean Ringgold (Shaun Evans) to a full-fledged cast member, Lenny Platt, who plays the middle Ford brother Nate Salinger, has been promoted as well. Â
The actor tells ABC Soaps in Depth that “I was brought on for the musical episodes. When I found out that I was going to be kept on and this storyline was going to be developing, I was excited as an actor because I usually tend to gravitate toward more dark material. I really found it interesting that we had this criminal background and our father was this terrible person and that’s the reason I left town, because my mother was in fear of her life. These dramatic elements, as an actor, I really could grab on to. Not that the musical wasn’t fun, but I was really excited to get down to what I, as an actor, am more interested in and what appeals to me.” Â
Platt joined the cast of “One Life to Live” in April of this year. A Florida native, he grew up in Pennsylvania before moving to New York City upon joining the “OLTL” cast.
