Chyna Layne and Curtis Hamilton

The movie stars Chyna Layne as Jordan Boudreaux and Curtis Hamilton as Steve Peters. Both actors were asked what effect does doing a crime story have on them personally in real life? Hamilton answers first saying, “For sure, I mean, when something is truly being done, you first empathize with those people and how tragic it is. So you start to relate to that part and what you would have done. That kind of helps you mold the kind of character you’re going to make. It’s tough. These kinds of stories are so unfamiliar for me. I don’t know anyone who has been through this kind of stuff, especially domestic violence, personally to that level. That’s where us as actors we have to use our craft, our research and different things to kind of humanize them and make them relatable to everybody else.”

     Layne chimes in adding, “In Broad Daylight is based on true events. So for us walking into this and knowing that, there are some people who have gone through this and they are going to be watching this story and identifying with it personally. There is a sense of obligation that we have and must take it seriously. We don’t want to make a spectacle of anyone’s life or anyone’s situation so what we want to do is bring truth and honesty to it. And hope that their survival and fight inspires other people. We do this taking real good care of our characters in the story and making sure there is a sense of dignity to their lives.”

     Will this particular film effect how both actors select who to date in real life? Layne explains, “I’m in a relationship with someone who is very, very loving, protective and kind and so I’m lucky to have found that. We all kind of have relationships where they might not necessarily be healthy and then we learn from them. Luckily I’ve experienced my fair share and was able to get to a relationship that is very healthy.”

   Regarding this role having impact on his future dating choices, Hamilton agrees that, “Probably subconsciously it does. I’ve done two films that touch on domestic violence but it’s one of those things that you can never know who you’re going to get in bed with. As we all do, you put on that face whenever we meet somebody to present the best version of who they might want you to be. But at the end of the day, you don’t know how it’s going to be two or three months down the line how a relationship may turn. It hasn’t really affected me in that way. But I would hope that your morals and your values and what your spiritual edification may be, you put that into the bowl of what you want in a relationship. That way it will help you pick the right person.

     Layne reminds us watch her on season two of Spike Lee’s “She’s Gotta Have It.”
