In Barbie World, Kens are merely accessories. But Scott Evans feels absolutely giddy about landing such an iconic role in the summer’s hottest blockbuster.
As an actor, Evans has been putting in a lot of work since his soap days on One Life to Live, collecting credits on shows like Grace and Frankie, Daytime Divas, and Insecure, to name a few. But in an interview setting, Evans is a hilarious, down-to-earth person who shares self-deprecating jokes and anecdotes.
For example, when Evans first got the call to audition for , he wasn’t confident about his odds. “I saw it and was kind of like, ‘Eh, I don’t know, I’m not getting .” But he still put himself on tape and gave it his best shot. “I like to be prepared for auditions because audition was just like, ‘We did it. That was good.’ After doing other takes for another half hour, we still ended up submitting that very first take. I was like, ‘Is this a mistake? Should I keep working on this forever the way people do?’”
