Brett Claywell has been sensational as Kyle Lewis, one-half of “Kish” on the ABC soap One Life to Live. Kyle has reconnected with his college love Oliver Fish (Scott Evans) after a rocky reunion and the two are now in a committed relationship. But Kyle might be the father of a newborn baby that he’s not near ready to acknowledge.
The actor spoke with We Love Soaps recently just after the show moved into its new and larger set in New York City. Here are some excerpts:
We Love Soaps: “Kish” this past year has been a phenomenal hit. Did you ever expect this a year ago?
Brett Claywell: Not even close. I wasn’t hired for this. A year ago last February didn’t know this was going to be a storyline. I never could have expected that we would get this kind of support and this kind of fanfare but we try to do the work as honest and true as we could. We’re really blessed to have such supportive fans.
We Love Soaps: What have you learned from Kyle?
Brett Claywell: Kyle Lewis has changed Brett Claywell for the rest of his life.
We Love Soaps: How so?
Brett Claywell: It’s made me a more compassionate human being. It’s made me more of an activist,without a doubt. It was a blessing to be able to do my work with my heart. To stand up and fight for something I believe in, which most artists don’t get a chance to do. I got to blend something I feel strong about in society with the work I’m doing in television and come to the forefront of a social issue that I’m really proud to be a part of.
