I first became familiar with Victor as an actor several years ago when he starred on Days of Our Lives all too briefly as Nicholas Alamain. The character's main purpose turned out to be to seduce older woman Kate Roberts, which lead to some steamy scenes I remember very well!
Victor has shown up all over the place since then, in the short lived cult hit series Mutant X, in guest starring roles on many television shows, and in a handful of film roles. Most recently, he was in the CBS murder mystery series Harper's Island, but his character didn't survive past episode three.
I'm excited that Melrose Place cast someone as hot as Victor to play their gay character but the question is, will they use him, or will he be another Matt Fielding?
Here are a few things that AfterElton learned about Victor's character on the show:
- His name is Caleb Brewer and we meet him in Episode 2
- He is Ella Simms' boss at WPK
- He smokes cigars, likes the Los Angeles Lakers, collects sports memorabilia, drinks Scotch, likes guys and is not afraid to admit it.
- He is an archetype that hasn't been explored as much on television and the show is bringing that into the fold
- So far he's in episodes two, three, five, six and appears somewhat frequently
- We see some of his personal life, but Slavkin wouldn't divulge any details
- He's a very masculine guy.
Hmmm. It sounds like this character could just as easily fade quickly into the background (hard to do when you're as hot as Victor Webster, though!) or become a full fledged character on the show. I guess we'll have to wait and see!
While hot guys alone can't get me to watch a terrible show (if they could, I'd be following Gossip Girl just for Ed Westwick!), there are certainly going to be enough of them on this show for me to give it a real chance to win me over.
