Actor Bailey Chase sits down to talk about his role in the post-apocalyptic Angel Studios series Homestead — a story of survival, leadership, and hope after a nuclear detonation near Los Angeles. Bailey reflects on what drew him to the project, how moving home to North Carolina deepened his faith, and why this role — and life beyond Hollywood — resonates with him personally. Along the way, he also shares glimpses into his career, his character’s journey, and his long-term creative goals.


Highlights

  • Why Bailey said “yes” to Homestead and how divine timing played a role

  • Moving out of Hollywood and reconnecting with family and faith in North Carolina

  • The deep character arc of Jeff Eriksson — hard-nosed, authentic, and growing

  • Bailey’s acting roots: from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Longmire

  • How life shifts — slower pace, church community, family priorities — reshaped his perspective

  • His latest creative ambition: developing a new Angel Studios series based on Chronicles of Kings

  • Football days at Duke and how that competitive drive carried into acting
