Fish Out of Water: The Scott Evans Advocate Interview

ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Scott Evans (Fish) spoke with Michael Fairman for Advocate.com about playing a gay cop’s coming-out story and being the openly gay brother of A-List hunk Chris Evans.

Evans spoke about the potential love story of Kyle and Fish.
