Interview: Cast of Baby Daddy

During my press trip to LA I visited the ABC Family Baby Daddy set and had the opportunity to interview the cast along with 24 other bloggers. While they were live taping Baby Daddy scenes we got to sit down individually with Jean-Luc Bilodeau (“Ben Wheeler” – @jlblives), Tahj Mowry (“Tucker Dobbs” – Tahj_Mowry), Derek Theler (“Danny Wheeler” – @DerekTheler), Chelsea Kane (“Riley Perrin” – @ChelseaKane) and Melissa Peterman (“Bonnie Wheeler” @Followtheblonde)! We even had special surprise guest star Eddie Cibrian visit us for enough time to take some photos!

I’ll share our interviews with each cast member. They were all exceptionally nice! I did have a hard time hearing the audio I taped from the interviews because we had to be extremely quiet since they were live taping. I’ll share with you what I can!

Jean-Luc Bilodeau

We asked Jean-Luc Bilodeau what he loved the most about working on Baby Daddy. He plays Ben Wheeler, Dad to Emma who’s mom (Ben’s ex-girlfriend) left her at his door step in the first episode. Jean-Luc said it’s his first sitcom experience and everyone is super cool. Laughter is something that he loves to hear which you don’t get to hear on other sets that aren’t sitcoms. He enjoys the live audience every Friday which makes it really enjoyable. Jean-Luc said, “The cast is awesome and the food is great.” We got to eat while on set and it was delicious!

Jean-Luc said his mom got him an agent when he was nine years old so he started in the business very young. He started out doing commercials but really didn’t consider it a lifelong career until he was about fifteen. He said he actually loved working on cars his whole life and wanted to become a mechanic. His mom said to stay with acting and he decided acting was his jam. We are sure glad his mom pushed him to stay with acting! Directing may be in his future though. Jean-Luc said he would love to try directing at some point. Maybe a future episode of Baby Daddy? (more…)
