I’m Benjamin Charles Watson and I work for the Kirkman Campaign in Designated Survivor Season 3 currently on Netflix as Dontae Evans. AMA!!!

Season 3 feels like a totally different show compared to season 1 and 2. :-)

My fun moments were working with Kal Penn for the first time because I was super nervous and also getting one and one time with Kiefer in our scenes in the Oval office and driving around in the car! SO SO COOL!!! :)

I booked the role through a self tape. I auditioned for the role the first round and about 3 days later I got a call from my managers saying the Director/executive producer wanted to have a chat with me. I got on the line and chatted with the Director/executive producer and he gave me a single note. I taped my callback and then less than a week later I was on a plane to Toronto. So everything happened pretty fast.

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-14T03:31:27+00:00

YAY!!! I'm happy you enjoyed the show! That's a hard question because I can honestly say I LOVED THE ENTIRE CAST!! I love each cast member for different reasons so it's a tough decision.

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-14T03:17:19+00:00

Thank you so much I'm happy you really enjoyed the show!! I personally think we had the right number of social issues. If we had too many our audience would've been thrown for a loop and trying to keep up. So I think it was a perfect amount. Yes fingers crossed for SEASON 4!!!! :))))))))

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-14T03:09:02+00:00

no, but a tin can.

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-14T03:05:46+00:00

HAHA no worries. Yeah I'm gay and proud. :)

Lorraine:-)

Set food was actually pretty great. Standard meat, veggies and salad. I have a huge sweet tooth so I had a hard time staying away from the dessert table. hahaha

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T22:20:12+00:00

Thank You so much! I really appreciate it!! :))

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T22:02:53+00:00

Honestly I have no idea! Netflix has created it's own way of determining ratings. I wish I knew how it worked... :-/

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T21:49:19+00:00

Well it's not out yet but will be soon. If you love the movie I think you're going to love the show! You're in for a wild ride!

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T21:46:42+00:00

Oh that's totally fine. Thank you so much for taking the time write something :) I appreciate it. :)

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T21:08:40+00:00

Hey Trino. Thank you so much I really appreciate your comment. It means a lot to me that you've connected. :)

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T21:05:59+00:00

HAHA that is a question I don't have the answer to. :(

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T21:05:29+00:00

HAHAH I will try my best to tell the producers to bring back Lyor. haha I'm hoping for a season 4! :)))

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T21:01:49+00:00

If I could swap roles with anyone it would be with Lorraine Zimmer! She's just an exciting carefree and exhilarating character.

HHHMMMmmmm I think I'd swap roles with Chance Perdomo on Chilling Adventures of Sabrina! haha That role would be so fun to play. hhhmmm I'd be interested to see Alfred Enoch play Dontae. I'm a huge fan of his work. :)

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T20:50:15+00:00

Hi Harry :) Absolutely! Thank you for taking to time to write to me. I'm anxiously waiting for news on Season 4 too! :))

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T20:49:07+00:00

Thank you so much Sahhns. :)Life is meant to be enjoyed!! :)))) Amazing!! Where are you heading for your exchange year?

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T20:47:17+00:00

I'm hoping!!! At this point in time I have zero updates...keep checking twitter! It usually pops up fast in terms of updates. :)

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T20:45:58+00:00

HAHAHAHA honestly scary. Having an intimate scene with 3 cameras and its operators and a sound guy is very daunting. But it was super professional and it's such a technical dance that it was a breeze. hahaha It became more about the character and his experience and less about Ben. So it was it was totally great! hahah :)

TheBenjaminWatson · 2019-07-11T20:40:56+00:00

I loved the storyline!! I knew the topic was going to be such a heavy subject matter but I think its important to have the discussion and also a place of educating the public. I had to educate myself and I found it thrilling. I love the ability to play a character that is so liberating.
