Interview: Anne-Marie Johnson talks about the role of the Days, diversity in Hollywood and how soap operas create a sense of community

I think it’s a shame that there are so few soap operas.

Born in Los Angeles and a graduate of UCLA, Anne-Marie Johnson has had a long and impressive acting career. Roles in hit shows ‘In the Heat of the Night’, ‘What Happens Now!’ “In Living Color” and “Melrose Place” she was able to show her incredible range, from comedy to drama and all the emotions in between.

Equally impressive has been his work promoting diversity in Hollywood on camera and behind the scenes. Former National Chair of the Ethnic Employment Opportunity Committee and member of the SAG Affirmative Action/Diversity Task Force, Johnson has helped create programs for the union and the industry at large in the area of ​​action. positivity and diversity, and last month she won the SAG-AFTRA 2016 Ralph Morgan Award for her decades of advocacy, the first African American to do so.

And starting today, April 26, Johnson will play an instrumental character in Abigail Deveraux DiMera’s (Kate Mansi) mental health journey as she begins her portrayal of psychiatrist Dr Robinson in ‘Days of our Lives’ , a role that will last until July. She took the time to speak to Soaps.com about the character, her love of soap operas, and how she thinks things have changed in Hollywood — and how they have a long way to go.

Soaps.com: Tell us a bit about your character, Dr. Robinson, and his role in Abigail’s struggles.

Johnson: Dr. Robinson is the director of the psychiatric hospital where Abigail is a patient. They develop an intense, somewhat rocky, but later sympathetic and compassionate relationship. It’s a roller coaster.

Soaps.com: Will your character interact with someone else or just Abigail?

Johnson: Yeah, the character interacts with Chad [Billy Flynn] and Dr. Marlena [Deidre Hall] and a few others but mostly Abigail. Certainly with her supportive family and friends, but especially with Abigail.

Soaps.com: We know your character will appear over a period of a few months. Were you able to film everything together or did you have to come back and shoot around this time?

Johnson: No, it took a few months. It took about three months to shoot all the episodes. It was a nice process because it gave me time to get to know the cast obviously, but more importantly the crew. Spend a lot of time with the crew and understand the lay of the land. It lasted almost three months.

Soaps: How does this experience compare to your last time in Salem playing Marlena’s therapist, Dr. Patel?

Johnson:Well, the last time was much shorter. Deidre Hall and I had known each other through other events when I was on a series for NBC. As you know, they often combine night and day at certain events. I had a boyfriend many years ago in the 80s who worked on “Days” so I visited the set several times. She and I knew each other but Eileen Davidson (Kristen Black DiMera; Ashley Abbot on “The Young and the Restless”) didn’t know. What a fantastic woman. I loved working with her. She was great. I’ve always been a fan of hers and it was a great meeting and working with her. Reconnecting with some of the crew members I had known from other jobs. VS’

Soaps.com: On “Days,” which scenes would you like to have that you may not have been able to make it with in those times?

Johnson: Oh my God, that’s a great question. I do not know. Well, you know, James [Reynolds, Abe Carver] and I have been friends for years. It would have been a pleasure to work with Jim.

Soaps.com: You’ve worked for diversity in Hollywood for a long time and were recently the first African-American to win the 2016 SAG-AFTRA Ralph Morgan Award. What did that mean to you?

Johnson:Being recognized for this work means a lot on many levels. I think first because, for nearly three decades, I have championed affirmative action both behind the scenes, on camera, and politically. Seventeen years of those three decades have been dedicated specifically to the promotion and negotiation of protected actor groups in contract negotiations and on-set wages and working conditions and conditions. For women, people of color, actors with disabilities, LGBT. I’ve been doing this for quite a long time and being recognized for this type of advocacy means really, really a lot to me. Because in addition to my husband and family and friends, affirmative action and equality are very, very important to me. I spend a good majority of my time defending those who are not allowed to defend themselves. Getting this recognition meant a lot.

Soaps.com: How has diversity in the industry improved or not improved over your long career?

Johnson: I wouldn’t be sincere if I said he hasn’t improved. He definitely has. We see more diversity in night, day, feature films… well, feature film is reprehensible, so let’s just stay on TV. We certainly see a lot more than ever before, but it’s become so marginalized. It has become, as we use it in the field of affirmative action, it has become rather ‘ghetto’. You have a small audience for a very specific type of entertainment.

Before the advent of cable, social media, and the Internet, you had three or four networks where the audience concentration was concentrated. People of color and older women and actors with disabilities got more coverage at that time if we were lucky enough to be invited to play on the playground. There are now five hundred chains. Even though there may be more jobs, wage compression and payment, the viewership is less because it is so fragmented. In the same breath, I can say, “Yes, there are more people of color, more women over 35, more people with disabilities, and more transgender, gay, and identified people working, we earn less and are seen by less people.

Where there is absolutely no improvement is behind the camera. Women are still not being asked to lead. People of color are still not in the writers room. People of color and women of a certain age are still not in decision-making positions based on our statistics. There is a lot of work to do.

Soaps.com: What would it take for you to consider a bigger daytime role?

Johnson: I guess, a role. An invitation to play. It’s out of my hands. But good entertainment is good entertainment. All the lines have been drawn. There’s no, “Oh my God. You do the night. Oh my God. You make the day. “A good role is a good role.

Soaps.com: Anything else you can reveal about your upcoming ‘Days’ appearance?

Johnson: Obviously, I don’t have to ask fans to watch, because that’s probably the most loyal viewer base you can find. I think it’s a shame that there are so few soap operas. First of all, it’s one of the best training grounds for young actors. Because that’s where you really need to know your lines and know what you’re doing. It’s a wonderful training ground. More importantly, the programming that replaced daytime soaps is so poor. It doesn’t provide anything. It offers no entertainment. It’s cotton candy. There is no substance or durability. I just hope people keep watching ‘Days’ and the other remaining soaps so that this art form remains. Because’

For a few years, I looked after my mother. She was quite ill. I spent eight and a half months in the hospital, then I brought her home to treat her at home. Me and her other caregivers and even when we were in the hospital, the entertainment and the distraction and it’s almost like comfort food for those locked up. For those who are sick. For those who are alone. For those who have no other means of entertainment. The soaps brought so much joy to the viewer and to those people who had no other choice of communication or relationships. That’s what people don’t get. That’s what these decision-makers don’t understand, that soap operas bring such a level of community. If anything else, I just hope the fans of ‘

Soaps.com: Soap operas connect generations. It’s something you can talk to your grandmother and your mother about, what happened on your soap.

Johnson: Exactly! And you can’t overwatch it, which is great. I think over-watching ruined the entertainment. You can’t binge watch soaps. I think it helps the essence of the fourth wall and the suspense. I just think it’s an important art form that needs to be supported.
