If you have seen Firefly Lane on Netflix, chances are you would have seen Brandon Jay Mclaren in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 40-year-old actor was born in Canada to a Grenadian father and Trinidadian mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mclaren playsTravis on the new Netflix series which was the number one trending show in Trinidad and Tobago and across the world. The series is based on the bestselling novel by Kristin Hannah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mclaren\u2019s character is not featured in the novel but was written in the Netflix series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Travis, Mclaren plays an earnest love interest to Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) one of the stars of the series along with Katherine Heigl (Gray\u2019s Anatomy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is his first Netflix series and has garnered him a lot of attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told Loop News that even though he appeared on a show called The Killing which was nominated for six Emmys, the buzz around this show is different from anything else he has experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is something different about Netflix because it is sort of like a shared viewing experience. Everyone could watch it one time and everyone talks about it one time so there is a certain energy around a Netflix show more than anything else I have experienced,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking about the experience on the series, Mclaren said he has worked a lot with Chalke in the past who he described as one of the funniest people he met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI used to watch her on Scrubs before my career really started to take off and I was such a fan and to be able to work opposite her I find myself pinching myself in the middle of a scene,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said both Chalke and Heigl are fantastic actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confessing that he is yet to watch the series, Mclaren said they had a lot of fun and laughter during the filming which wrapped last February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
