Daytime Confidential: A few weeks ago, we spoke with Phillip Jeanmarie, who plays Adam, the roommate of your character Jeff in WORKSHOP, and got his take on the show. As the star, co-writer and producer (with Kimberly Legg) of the series what can you tell us about the show?

Nate Golon: WORKSHOP takes an inside look at the struggles of the LA actor. This show follows six actors (three guys, three girls), all in their twenties, as they try to navigate their way through the ups and downs of making it in Hollywood. Our goal in writing this show was to show people everywhere what it's really like to try to make it in LA, and for those who live or have lived in LA, many situations should ring a familiar tune.

Today, Jeanmarie is sad the soap he once called home and likens to "being paid to go to acting school" is no longer on the air, but he’s channeling his experiences into his new role as Adam, a struggling actor trying to make it from gig to gig in Workshop The Series, a new web comedy created by Nate Golon and Kimberly Legg, who also star. I caught up with Jeanmarie to talk about his new show, premiering August 10, and of course to reminisce about the wackiness that was Passions.

Daytime Confidential: How did your role in Workshop The Series come about?

Phillip Jeanmarie: It's funny how it all came together. I actually met Nate at a workshop. We were outside talking and I told him I was on Passions. It turned out he had been on the show too, so we started talking and he brought up a list of the different things they had me do on the show. [Laughs] So we kept talking about an actor's journey, what we sometimes do for work, and he came up with the idea of doing a show about it from a comedic perspective. Hopefully people will like it!
