Phillip P Keene and Kearran Giovanni star on TNT’s top-rated drama, “Major Crimes”. Their characters, Buzz and Amy, may be friends on screen, but once the cameras stop rolling the pair become more like family. It was clear just how much they care for each other when I joined them recently at Phillip’s home to discuss the show as well as his former career as a Pan Am flight attendant.
‘Bad Blood’, last night’s episode of “Major Crimes”, hit home for Phillip. One of his relatives served as the inspiration for the show’s victim, though he didn’t realize it immediately. The close-knit cast did and were there to support him as he worked through his “funk”.
The conversation didn’t stop there. The friends shared personal stories about when it’s like when their personal and professional lives intersect. In fact, Phillip is married to “Major Crimes” creator and executive producer James Duff. Kearran planned their wedding as well as a more recent 50th birthday party for Phillip.
The theme? Phillip’s passion: Pan Am. Phillip talks with nostalgia about the years he spent as a Pan Am flight attendant. He owns one of the largest collections of Pan Am memorabilia in the world and looks forward to cataloguing and displaying these pieces of history for the public.
