Brandon Barash On DAYS Debut: “They made it very easy.”
Brandon Barash marks his first day in Salem as Stefan O. DiMera today, and in the new issue of Digest, on sale now, the actor talks about transitioning into the role that former GH co-star Tyler Christopher vacated. “I was at lunch with a friend, and I got a phone call from my manager saying, ‘Can you be at the DAYS OF OUR LIVES set to work tomorrow?’ ” he recalls. “And I said, ‘I think so.’ And that’s how it happened. It was that simple.” With Stefan in heavy story, Barash was thrown into the thick of things from the get-go. “It was a tall order,” he concedes. “I remember the first week I worked three days, did six shows, so two shows a day. It was a shock. I mean, I haven’t worked at this pace in four or so years. It was an adjustment. I’m used to doing at most six to eight pages a day. I think my first day I had about, I don’t know, between 20 and 30. It was a lot, but the cast and crew here are just incredible. It’s really a special family. They got a good soup cooking over here, so they made it very easy.” For the full story, pick up the new issue, on sale now, and tune into DAYS to see Barash in action!
