ailey Chase as Deputy branch Connally in Longmire
As Oklahoma City police detective butch Ada in the popular TNT
crime drama Saving Grace, bailey Chase helped solve brutal
homicide cases as part of the city’s major Crimes unit. Given the
actor’s good looks and talent, it is no surprise that he grabbed
the viewers’ attention with his performance. When that series
ended after three seasons, Chase booked a recurring role on another
hit show, FX’s Damages. While working on that series, the
opportunity came up for a more permanent gig playing Deputy
branch Connally in A&E’s Longmire.
“I had a really nice time being back in New York and working on
Damages with some wonderful actresses in Rose byrne and, of
course, the amazing Glenn Close,” says Chase. “Then the pilot
for Longmire came along, and originally I was up for the part of
Walt Longmire. I loved the character and was excited about the
prospect of having my own series, especially as its producers
[Greer Shephard and michael m. Robin] had a great track record
with [another TNT series] The Closer.
“So I read for them when I was back in Los Angeles during one
of my breaks from Damages and everything seemed to go really
well, but when they called my agent, they said that they wanted
me for the branch role. If you watched the pilot, you saw that
branch wasn’t quite the man he is today, or that I like to think he
is. So I had a side conversation with Greer Shephard, our show
runner, who basically told me, ‘You’re perfect for this role. We
want an equal adversary for Walt; that’s what will make this show
interesting. We’ll treat the pilot script a little bit with regard to
your role.’
“They then gave me a huge gift with the writing over the course
of season one. You see branch’s evolution all the way through
to the season finale where he has the fight with Walt. So that’s
how I became involved in Longmire, and I just feel so blessed.
Sometimes ego can get in the way and you’re like, no, I want my
own show, but then you’re offered a supporting character that
they [the producers/writers] really deliver on in the end. That’s
what happened for me with Longmire, and I’m having a blast,”
enthuses the actor.
