Jake Weary: Playing charismatic Cane on 'Waterfront' is a game changer

Photo courtesy of Netflix NEW YORK, June 21 (UPI) -- Animal Kingdom and Walking Dead: Dead City actor Jake Weary says he wanted to star in The Waterfront because the new Netflix drama gives him the chance to play a type of character he doesn't usually get offered. "It was a character that I've never really explored before, someone who is really outwardly charismatic and charming and trying to use his charms to get certain things and manipulate people," Weary, 35, told UPI in a phone interview Thursday. "I'd always played more introverted characters and characters that are harboring secrets and there's just a lot of darkness," he said. "There are elements there with Cane, but I think, for the most part, he's someone that actually smiles. I usually play characters that just scowl all the time, so I thought it was kind of a nice game changer for me." Now streaming on Netflix, the show was written-produced by Dawson's Creek and Scream creator Kevin Williamson. It follows the Buckleys, a wealthy North Carolina family as they try to save their fishing empire by smuggling drugs. Weary plays Cane Buckley, while Holt McCallany plays his father Harlan, Maria Bello plays his mother Belle and Melissa Benoist plays his older sister Bree. "I always thought Cane is kind of the glue that kept the family together," the actor said. "I feel like he's the one that creates the big Buckley family group chat, just to check in with everybody," he added. "When he notices that the family is in dire straits, he really jumps at the opportunity to take the bull by the horns and fix things." Weary and his co-stars quickly bonded when they arrived on the show's set in North Carolina. The actor described himself and Bello as "besties" and said they frequently text since she has been working out of the country and haven't been able to see each other for awhile. "And me and Holt have this really, really strong relationship, too, because I think there are a lot of parallels in our lives," he added. "We both had mothers who were big-time divas. His mother was a ballroom singer and my mom was a soap opera actress," Weary said, referring to McCallany's mother, entertainer Julie Wilson, and his own, Guiding Light icon Kim Zimmer. "We both grew up on the East Coast and have similar interests and can, literally, talk for hours. Having the two of them together [Bello and McCallany] together was just a dream come true." Further connecting the cast and crew was the fact that Hurricane Helene ravaged North Carolina while they were there. "There's a lot of people on the crew whose homes were affected by the hurricane," Weary recalled. "You could see how it brought the crew together. Everybody was super-supportive of each other," he said. "It was just really beautiful to see." One perfect Holt McCallany scene to welcome you to The Waterfront. The new series from Scream and Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson is now playing. Netflix (@netflix) June 19, 2025

Michelle Obama gets real on parenting: 'I'm so glad I didn't have a boy'

Michelle Obama says she's "so glad" she didn't have a boy with former President Barack Obama. On a Wednesday, June 18 episode of her "IMO" podcast, she told Craig Robinson, her brother and co-host, and radio icon Angie Martinez that "I'm so glad I didn't have a boy" while discussing the difficulties of raising boys. The Obamas share two daughters: 26-year-old filmmaker Malia Ann and University of Southern California alum Sasha Obama, who recently turned 24. Martinez suggested that Obama and her "A Promised Land" author husband "should've thrown a boy in the mix." But Obama said she's "glad" because "he would've been a Barack Obama!" jokingly shading the former president's strong personality and suggesting that a son would have been challenging. Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé in these 10 bingeable memoirs When Martinez said that a "baby Barack" would have been "amazing," the forthcoming "Look" book author explained to the "IRL" podcast host that she "would've felt for him." Robinson — a father of one daughter Leslie and three sons Avery, Austin and Aaron — added to the conversation by quipping that his sister "borrowed our boys." Michelle Obama previously broke silence on daughter's name change Earlier this month, Obama made headlines when she broke her silence on eldest daughter Malia Ann's decision to drop her last name. Malia Ann, who is pursuing a film career in Hollywood, used her middle name as her artistic name for the credits of 2023 short film "The Heart" which she wrote and directed, that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024. "Our daughters (Malia and Sasha) are 25 and 23. They are young adult women, but they definitely went through a period in their teen years where it was the push away. … They're still doing that," Obama told famous siblings Oliver and Kate Hudson on their "Sibling Revelry" podcast. The "Becoming" author added that "it is very important for my kids to feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world, and they don't want people to assume that they don't work hard, that they're just naturally, just handed things. They're very sensitive to that – they want to be their own people."
