THE STAR SCOOP:
What was your initial reaction to the spin-off – to having a much larger role, too, for your character? What have been the challenges and what have you enjoyed most?
PHILLIP KEENE:
I think I can say that we were all excited at the prospect of spinning off The Closer into Major Crimes and we are so very grateful for the opportunity to stay here in Los Angeles and continue working with such great people.
The fact that Buzzs’ role has become larger…
THE STAR SCOOP:
Where does the name “Play For Keeps” come from?
PLAY FOR KEEPS:
It comes from an old term used when playing marbles. When you “Played for keeps” you kept whatever you won. I think it’s very applicable to our lives and the lives of our fans.
THE STAR SCOOP:
You go to Yale – that’s pretty impressive. What are you studying there?
MATT JAFFE:
I am hoping to focus on English, as I feel studying other forms of writing will complement my songwriting, but I’m just getting started and I’m not sure exactly what will happen academically.

THE STAR SCOOP:
You get to work with your brother a lot. What is that like for you?
COLE SAND:
I think that’s the only time where we act like true, real big brother and little brother just helping each other out. I think that’s the only time you could call us brothers exactly, because, at times, we’re the complete opposite.
THE STAR SCOOP:
You both like acting!
THE STAR SCOOP:
You’ve been acting your whole life practically! What is it about acting that you like so much?
JADON SAND:
What I really like about it is the way you become someone completely [different]. It’s so much fun to be able to design a character, bring something new.
THE STAR SCOOP:
You’ve gotten to work on movies and TV. What’s your favorite?
