We chatted with actor Bo Yokely who plays Brian Crawford in the new Lifetime film Switched Before Birth which premiered on October 23, 2021. The film follows couple Olivia and Brian who discover that one of their two new babies conceived through in vitro fertilization is not a biological twin, but was implanted into Olivia by mistake.

Check out what Bo had to say about the film and his acting career.

How did you get into storytelling?

BY: It was always a passion of mine and when my modeling agent recommended it, I accepted my first movie role, and off to the races.

What was your first acting role?

BY: Guardians of the Galaxy 2

What can you tell us about Lifetime’s Switched Before Birth?

BY: It is my favorite role to date. I play Brain Crawford, husband to Olivia Crawford who is played by the amazing Skyler Samuels. It is a story about a couple who struggles with getting pregnant, and turn to IVF. A mishap occurs during implementation and a battle begins for the child that my wife gives birth to.

What can you tell us about your character in the film?

BY: He is a hardworking, loyal, loving husband who wants nothing more than to have a family with his wife. He’s a fighter and someone who will defend his family to the death, but at the same time knows what someone wants and the right is not always the same thing.

When people watch Switched Before Birth, what are you hoping they get out of it?

BY: I think it will raise questions as to what makes a parent a parent. Is it who gives birth, who raised the child or even who’s DNA it has?

What do you enjoy the most about acting?

BY: I love being able to portray real life people and characters that can impact and influence our society today.
