Brannon Discusses His ‘CSI’ Role

CSI Files previously reported that former General Hospital actor Chad Brannon would appear in the second episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’s fourteenth season, titled “Take the Money and Run”. You can find out more about his character after the jump. (Contains spoilers!)

Brannon told We Love Soaps that he has a “meaty role” in the episode. “It’s some of the best character work and best acting I’ve done since General Hospital,” he said. “I was blessed and excited with the opportunity. Hopefully it will show well.” Here’s a longer excerpt about his part in the episode:

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.
