Actor Of The Week: Jon Lindstrom as Joey Armstrong on Beyond The Gates - a Great Gamble, Pays Off
Actor Of The Week: Jon Lindstrom - The Best Card On The Table
Our Actor Of The Week is Jon Lindstrom who is currently portraying the villainous and fan favourite Joey Armstrong on CBS's new daytime soap opera Beyond The Gates.
Joey is a well written character who always seems to be steps ahead and is never outsted by anybody. Proving to be a great ally and a deadly enemy, when it comes to picking your poison, first know your position or you'll just be another clean up job and his detergent never leaves any stains of evidence that the carpet had blood, somehow it'll be reported as wine, I mean there is a Marcel Malone (Darryl W. Handy) after all not forgetting chief of police Elon Hawthorne (Malachi Malik). He's basically untouchable with Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) in his pocket and the great senator Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) there's no way he'd easily go down, he'd take everyone along, yup not even a bomb expert can diffuse this one or could a Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) be his kryptonite?
Jon is able to capture Joey's various tones in expression and body language, like a game of poker at times you can't call his bluff because he's so good at keeping power in his hands, he doesn't dare allow for a shift, prefers control yet is attracted to the feisty flame in Fairmont that is Vanessa McBride who can't help but step into the danger zone because Joey makes her feel like a teenager and somehow she understands him and can tell a lot of his moves, she doesn't just know his body but language too, fluent in duplicity and danger.
They make an enticing pair until she discovers he was responsible for Doug's unfortunate tragic death unless deep down she knows the man she lies with and what he's capable of, you can never really know when it comes to this realtor.
Joey's performance is always going to leave you shaking like a leaf, his threats land and his charm is exquisite, when he's not being a man after money he's doing some unexpected good, Hey there Izaiah (David Lami Friebe),
are you feeling alright?. We now can't help but wish he had a son or other family members because he's definitely one of the best characters on the show, he never misses a scene, always on his on-screen groove.
He has chemistry with a lot of the cast and his subtlety is one of a kind in storytelling. A signature take we love to see. Catch the brilliance in performance with Jon Lindstrom as he portrays the ruthless, multifaceted Joey Armstrong sowhose casino is a literal gambling den, not everyone walks out alive. (Sorry Doug)
Beyond the Gates airs weekdays on CBS at 2 p.m. ET (UTC−05:00 and streams on paramount plus.
