John Paul Lavoisier Interview
One thing is for certain, John-Paul holds a very special place in the hearts of One Life to Live fans for all-time. And with that, he hopes to make new memories with his upcoming role in Crystal Chappell and company’s, Beacon Hill. Here now, the one and only JP!
MICHAEL:
So many soap fans have missed seeing you every day! How did you become involved in Beacon Hill? What made you decide to be part of this project since this is your first soap role since One Life to Live?
JOHN-PAUL:
It fell into my lap. I randomly got an email from Hillary B. Smith saying, “I have this project I am working on with Crystal Chappell, and there is a part for you that you would be perfect for. And can I email you the script and the material? We would love to have you.” So, she emailed me the script and I thought, “Well, I can do this. I want to work with you, and I miss you.”
So, it was a chance to work and to see Hillary again and to fly back east. I had never met Crystal before, so it was a chance to meet her for the first time. I knew Ricky Paull Goldin was involved, and I love Ricky. He is one of the easiest guys to talk to, and one of the funniest guys to talk to. Then, when I found out I was going to play Alicia Minshew’s brother, I was very excited.
I grew up watching All My Children, and I have grown up knowing Alicia’s work forever. I was sort of a fan, and I would see her at soap events. It was a chance to reconnect and sort of getting to know her better, as well. I am glad I did Beacon Hill. It felt so good to be in cold weather in Massachusetts bundled up, and I just felt at home, because I also was with Melissa Archer.
Even though I never worked with Alicia and Crystal, it was kind of like Abbott and Costello not working together for 20 years, and then someone calling them up and saying, “Hey, can you do this part?” It was kind of like us all falling back into the old routine.
We knew we could trust each other. We knew it was going to be fun, and we had the same sort of work ethic. We all came from the same place, sort of. I knew it was going to be fun, and we were going to get it done without problems. Everyone was so professional. It was neat to see Hillary in producer mode because I am used to seeing Hillary in “Hillary mode” mostly (Laughs). Your producer Hillary! You have your headset on and you are watching the monitor. So there was that element that was new.
MICHAEL:
Did being a part of Beacon Hill, make you miss OLTL?
JOHN-PAUL:
Oh, c’ mon. (Sighs) I would sign a 30-year contract to be on One Life to Live if it was in front of me, right now. It’s a no brainer. I miss everything about it. Everything! I never had any complaints that whole time when I was on ABC. I hope Beacon Hill continues because it brought me back. It’s sort of like we all have come together to do the same magic trick. We know the gimmicks. We all have this well-oiled machine. We know how to hit our marks.
MICHAEL:
When I interviewed Crystal Chappell (Claire Preston) about what she thought of you, she says what I have always said about you, that you are so interesting to watch and you never know what is going to happen. I have often said that you have your own unique, very non-soap acting style, the way you delivered your material as Rex on OLTL. So, I totally get what she is saying.
JOHN-PAUL:
I had one scene with her, and she is really fun. Her character is not of sound mind when my character has this interaction with her. We had this close moment; she affected me. I was happy and excited that Hillary threw me this bone, but when I found out I was playing Crystal’s son, I thought, “I don’t think she is old enough to do this! I hope that it’s believable and they buy I am her son because I would sleep with her!” (Laughs) Crystal is very good at turning on and off … I am the actress now … I am the hang out co-worker … and I am also the producer and boss … and I have to give people orders and tell them what to do, and flip that switch, just as Hillary was.
MICHAEL:
So what is the deal with the Eric Preston character you play in Beacon Hill?
JOHN-PAUL:
I have not read anything for season two, but in the first season, he is basically playing this runner, wet nurse, for his grandfather. He wants to keep the family working, and he only wants what’s best for the family. He is probably the future heir to the family, and right now he is just the “yes” man to the grandfather. You see him getting him tea, or answering the door, or carrying people’s luggage.
He sort if like the family slave, and the caregiver right now. He is making sure the dust is off the counter. I heard that he has his own plans for taking over certain things, but that is not happening yet.
MICHAEL:
So, you, therefore, share scenes with the amazing Ron Raines (Senator Preston)?
JOHN-PAUL:
Everything you see Eric doing is for Ron Raines’ character. You sadly never see him with Ron Raines! We are never faced to face. Although I am face to face with his lover, my old sister on OLTL, Melissa Archer, which was neat.
MICHAEL:
I was thinking Eric and Evelyn (Melissa Archer) would end up having a fling!
JOHN-PAUL:
We have been told that since they are closer in age, and this being a soap, there is a sexual spark that they have to deal with soon.
