Kevin Spirtas Chats On Season 3 Of Emmy-Winning Series ‘After Forever’

In this episode of The Randy Report podcast, I’m chatting with Emmy Award winner Kevin Spirtas about the debut of season 3 of his acclaimed digital drama series, After Forever.

The show stars Kevin as “Brian” and Mitchell Anderson (Doogie Howser, Party of Five) as “Jason,” a “50-ish” gay couple living in New York City who appear to have it all — until “Jason’s” untimely death from cancer forces “Brian” to think about his future and ultimately his mortality, without the love of his life.

Throughout the series, Brian has exchanges with Jason expressing his grief as well as his anger at losing his true love which lead to deeply emotional and raw scene work between the two.

Season three finds “Brian” exploring therapy (with the fantastic Linda Purl as his psychologist) as a means to help him move through his grief while he also attempts to address the idea of dating again.

The cast also includes Cady Huffman, Erin Cherry, Anita Gillette, Lenny Wolpe, Jamison Stern, David Dean Bottrell, and more. Hit the play button to listen to our chat.

I’ve known Kevin since our early days pursuing acting in New York City when he was featured in several Broadway productions including A Chorus Line, Meet Me in St. Louis, and was the official standby for Hugh Jackman in The Boy From Oz.

Along the way, daytime TV fans came to know Kevin through his long-running role on Days of Our Lives as “Dr. Craig Wesley.”

In 2014, Kevin ran into former Days Of Our Lives writer Michael Slade in a New York gym. Eager to create their own opportunities, the two set out to create a series about gay men over 50.

In 2019, After Forever—Season 1 made history by becoming the most Emmy-awarded LGBTQ-themed drama series on any platform.

Kevin received an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Digital Drama, along with three additional Emmys that he shares with Michael Slade for Outstanding Digital Drama Series 2019 and Outstanding Writing Team for a Digital Drama in 2019 and 2020.

The series was also honored with a special recognition award in 2021 by the GLAAD Media Awards.
