Daytime Soap Opera
Actor Of The Week

Timon Kyle Durrett (Bill, Beyond The Gates)

Timon Kyle Durrett is one of daytime’s best actors, for proof, look no further than this week, when Bill compared seeing Anita’s spirit dulled by cancer to his mom’s spirit dulled by his bully father, not only was it good to learn a little bit more about Bill, but Durrett’s delivery, the heart and soul of it, was just outstanding and genuine, same for that moment afterward where Bill, alone, stopped to gather himself back together and then shared a warm embrace with his niece, Kat. I like the complexity of this character, that there’s good and bad in him, and the casting here was very, very right, in Durrett you have an actor who can play all the layers, be just as natural in these nice moments as he is when he slips into villain mode. I’m just left with the same question I’ve had ever since BTG began and that’s wondering why this actor isn’t airing more frequently and in a story that’s worthier of his talent than this one where Bill’s being duped/slow-murdered by his wife? I guarantee, the more we see of him on BTG, the better this show will become.
