The Fosters- Quinn Family the Fosters- Kerr Smith
The graphic symbol of Robert Quinn was starting time introduced to the Foster family'south lives in The Fosters ane×21, when Callie's birth certificate revealed she had a dissimilar birth begetter to Jude and thus couldn't get adopted. Since The Fosters 2×1, when Kerr Smith fabricated his debut in the function, the Quinns have been making the Fosters' already complicated lives even trickier – and according to Smith, in that location'due south enough more where that came from.
Read on for our full interview with Kerr Smith.
Robert has been in the motion picture since the get-go of flavor ii, and then quite a while at present. I think it's fair to say he hasn't e'er been particularly popular with fans of The Fosters considering many regard him equally trying to break upward the family. What is information technology like playing a graphic symbol who some viewers don't actually support?
Fun! It'southward i of the reasons why I decided to practice this – it's because information technology'southward a challenge. For me, what I endeavor to exercise when I play an antagonist is get the audition to feel for him, fifty-fifty though what he'south doing can exist viewed as wrong, because everybody who watches a show honestly has the perspective from the Fosters' signal of view, just y'all've got to understand Robert's perspective. I mean, he didn't know about Callie, and if he knew about Callie back in the 24-hour interval then I probably wouldn't take taken this job, because it would have been very difficult to practise what I wanted to do, but considering of that, considering he missed out on 15 or so years of her life, Robert is as much of a victim as Callie is in this situation, and there'southward a lot of guilt involved there for not being there for her, only it'due south not his fault. I think there's a lot of people that are starting to get on the Robert Quinn boat. Information technology's never gonna be as full equally the Fosters' gunkhole, but I think a lot of people are starting to retrieve, 'Well, wait a infinitesimal, this guy didn't know, I kind of experience for him.' And he'due south not ripping her out of the foster situation. He knows that she has a good situation over there, but he is the biological father of this girl and all he wants to practise is get to know his daughter. I don't think that'due south wrong. I don't think there'southward annihilation wrong with that.
I've definitely been warming to him personally over recent weeks, and I think the whole thing with Sophia helped a lot of people feel sympathetic to him.
Admittedly. The Sophia thing aside, there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes in the Quinn household, where, y'all know, we could have our ain spin-off, there's plenty going on. It's a crazy family unit. I find the storyline really interesting because there is a lot going on at that place, specially with Sophia, and you're going to see a lot more of her besides in episodes to come.

When Callie went to Robert after she was approached by the constabulary near Daphne'due south girl'due south abduction, Robert stepped up and told her that he was going to take care of it and her. Do you lot think his desire to help and protect Callie is fueled by guilt over the fact that he didn't know how troubled Sophia was until it was almost too late?
Interesting question. The only matter I can say nearly the Sophia situation is that information technology makes him look at his ability as a parent and that he may non be every bit skillful of a parent as he thinks he is, but and so again, our children accept their own minds and they make their ain choices. You just ready the best situation that you can for them in guild to abound as an individual only apparently he hasn't done that here with Sophia because she's merely wrought with and then many problems. You know, I've touched upon that in my own mind over the episodes: Can Robert properly raise a kid knowing that he may non have washed that with Sophia? Then I think that'southward an insecurity, perhaps, that he has, but I don't think it in any way influences his willingness to get to know his girl more.
At the stop of concluding week's episode, Callie told Stef and Lena that she thought she should get live with Robert. Obviously that would hugely touch the show – without giving as well much away, what kind of fallout can we expect from that declaration?
Well, you lot can look the Fosters and the Quinns to butt heads big-time now – as if they weren't already. Teri [Polo] and I always joke nigh how every scene nosotros do together, we're giving each other the stink-heart. There'due south going to be a lot more of that, there's going to exist more than courtroom scenes, obviously, you don't know what's going to happen here, and in the terminate, Lena, Stef, Robert, Jill, all nosotros actually intendance most is Callie and her well-existence, and in this particular situation with the law getting involved here with this decision that Callie made, her safe, and I remember that'south Robert's main reason right at present. I don't think he's using her situation to get her to motility in with them; information technology'south more than nigh protecting your child and being there for your child as a father and as a safe net.

Kerr Smith and Hayden Byerly
You played Jack McPhee on Dawson'south Creek, so The Fosters isn't the first show on which yous've regularly appeared that has an immensely loyal fan base. What is it like to be involved in something that's so pop and that people are then invested in?
In some means [The Fosters is] similar Dawson'due south, and in some ways it'south not. What I love almost The Fosters is – and this is actually the outset fourth dimension that I've had this feel – Peter [Paige] and Bradley [Bredeweg] and Joanna [Johnson], they've somehow managed to join a very family-oriented organisation that includes everybody who works on the prove. At the top of every show, we sit downward and do a table read, and with a cast equally big as this one, sometimes there's 25 actors in that location, but I've never seen studio heads – from ABC Family or whatsoever other network or studio – testify up to table readings on a weekly basis, and that happens here. Then at any given read-through, there's 50 people there, and that's pretty amazing. And so you get into the scripts and people get emotionally involved, and I don't remember I've read one script in all the episodes that I've done for them where people aren't crying at the stop of it. It's a pretty remarkable experience in this family that they've managed to spawn. It's pretty cool. And information technology shows, you know? I'chiliad telling you, that energy is just kind of pushed through everybody in the production and I call up it's a big part of why people watch the testify because the people that are working on it are into and at that place's only a actually good energy there.
We'd like to give thanks Kerr Smith and then much for taking the fourth dimension to chat with us! Nosotros really appreciate it!
Be sure to tune in to The Fosters, Mondays at eight/7c on ABC Family unit.
