SPOTLIGHT A-List: Dallas Cast Profiles:
CHASE: Chase has it all: A great
career in finance, an amazing home, good friends, and he’s left a string of broken hearts across Dallas. Chase is highly motivated, a serial dater looking for Mr. Right, and is at the top of his game in the career department.
PHILLIP: Phillip is a Dallas native
who knows the city, along with everyone’s dirt, like the back of his hand. It’s a good idea to be on Phillip’s good side: if you’ve got skeletons in your closet, he knows about them. Phillip may be the life of the party, but in his personal life he’s is a sensitive, caring guy who wants nothing more than to fall in love.
TAYLOR: Taylor, a powerhouse
Christian gay Republican, has already made a near-legendary name for himself in Texas. After working in the capitol city of Austin, he moved to Dallas where he began fundraising for the Republican Party. With a resume that boasts the likes of Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, Taylor can’t walk into a room without setting off a few sparks.
LEVI: Levi made a name for
himself as a rodeo star until he was sidelined by an injury. Now, this Stetson hat-wearing stud helps run his family’s ranch, and has teamed up with friends to launch a line of sexy swimwear targeted to gay men.
ASHLEY: Like birds of a feather that
flock together, the gays of Dallas flock to Ashley. This Dallas beauty has blonde locks, a big smile and miles of attitude. Ashley is caught between two contrasting worlds: the rigid conservative world of her family and her other family, the A-List gays of Dallas.
JAMES: If there’s trouble in Dallas,
you can bet James is nearby. James struggles with partying too much and he’s been in and out of relationships, and parks, for years. But no matter how big his trust fund is, the one thing he can’t seem to attain is love.
ton, OK. Nothing I can say will make it better, or make them believe that life isn’t that bad. Trust me, I know how they feel. I would say you have to always remember to be true to yourself and always love yourself no matter what. People can break you down, beat you up, slash your tires, write fag on your car and make your life hell, but remember that there are millions of people out there who have gone through it and made it. You will make it if you just believe in yourself and that your life will be just what you hoped and expected. Find someone to lookup to and lean on them through the tough times. Again for both of you, each of you tell me a little bit about your friendship with each other, how you met, things you like to do together, etc. Ashley: James and I can have fun doing ANYTHING. If we are in the car together we will
sing at the top of our lungs. If it’s raining outside we will play in the rain in our designer shoes. We just don’t care! James: We get along for the most part, but there are times we can get on each other’s
nerves. I think Ashley is an angel with a little bit of mischief going on, but she hates to admit it. We love to hangout, hit the bars, road-trip, jet-set, party, do dinners, and of course shop. James, who inspires you and where did you get the courage to take on Dallas and this series, know- ing you may have fallout from friends and family back home? James: My top inspirations in my life have been God, my parents, Jak’kay Monroe/
Josh, Brayden McGowan, and soldiers—Lawton is a military town. I get courage from all of them in different ways. They have always shown me that you can make it no matter what odds are against you. They are literally the reason I’m here today and the reason I was able to get out of bed during the bad times. I don’t think that I’m worried about a fallout, because I have an amazing group of friends and family, they know who I am, and aren’t afraid to stand up beside me. For those “acquaintances” back home that will give me
hell...bring it! Ashley and James, what surprised you the most with the taping of a reality TV show? Do you think you’ll see a different side of yourself once the editing is done and the show airs? Ashley: I had no idea how often we would film. We film six days a week! I know I will be
so surprised when the show airs. It’s like when you see a photo of yourself and you’re like, “OMG I am so much prettier in my head than in reality!”
James: Just seeing how much emotion, dedication, money, tears, time, and effort that
goes into this is overwhelming. I didn’t expect this to affect my life in the ways that it has so far. I hope I can see a different side of myself when we air. For me, this show will be the ultimate in self-reflection.
