Chad Brannon won an Emmy Award for his portrayal of Zander Smith on GENERAL HOSPITAL in 2004, a role he played for four years. Since then he's had a successful career working in primetime television on shows like FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and DEADWOOD, and doing voice over work. Brannon began doing voice overs in 2006 and has been one of the main promo voices for FOX Television Network since 2008. If you've tuned into FOX at all, you've likely heard him. He will next be guest-starring on the October 2nd episode of CSI on CBS in an episode that features some other Daytime alums as well. We Love Soaps recently caught up with Brannon to learn more about his CSI role and the other projects he's working on including a comedy pilot with Wayne Brady. Check out our exclusive interview below.WE LOVE SOAPS: What can you tell us about your CSI character?
CHAD BRANNON: When this role came across my desk I thought to myself, "I have to get this thing." I was in something like 9 or 10 scenes so it was a ton of work and a ton of fun. There's action, drama, and all sorts of crazy stuff. The character is a head maintenance guy at this casino and there's a huge heist that happens. They think that he's involved and so there's the whole investigation, and something happens with my child getting kidnapped. It was a meaty and juicy part. The tragic part is my wife in the story had died of cancer just a few months before, and I was left with my six-month child at the time and all these medical bills. He's a guy who's kind of driven to make the most of his life with how it currently is. We have to see what he's going to be driven to do.
