JR Chandler
–
JR Chandler is a fictional character from the ABC and The Online Network daytime drama All My Children. He was portrayed by Jacob Young from 2003 to 2011, prior to Ryan Bittle taking over the role in 2013, Bittle was cast as the new JR on Prospect Parks continuation of All My Children. The character was born onscreen on July 3,1989 to Dixie Cooney and her estranged ex-husband. In March 2004, the birth year was revised to 1983. He is a member of both the powerful and wealthy Chandler and Cooney families, being the son of Adam Chandler, the writers characterized JR as caring, but ruthless if betrayed, explaining the latter by way of his difficult upbringing. The characters softer personality has been attributed to his mother, Dixie Cooney, as well as to his son, AJ and it was not until the actor stepped into the All My Children role of JR Chandler that his acting range became more focused. He started to use tools he learned in classes and felt that his acting became more refined because of it, with his portrayal of JR, he explained how this factored in, They twisted JR in a completely different direction, he stated. They started off with JR not respecting his father and having a lot of elements of his mother in him, then they started toying with it and couldnt believe what was coming out of me. Id always been the nice, honorable guy, Id never been the character who was stirring the pot, JRs rich lifestyle was something that Young noted not being familiar with, stating that the JR persona did not come to him until he would put on the suit. They put me in these nice designer suits, and I suddenly feel like a million bucks, then I take that million-buck feeling and go a little sinister with it. One aspect of JRs personality are devious tones sometimes present in his dialogue, when the character is in a good mood and has the upper hand, he has all these one-liners, Young relayed. When working with former All My Children co-star Alexa Havins, Young would often shock Havins with the characters words, to make sure she was unaware of how he was going to deliver a crass line, he would keep it hidden. You can break the wording down and make it a more offensive. And I try to nail that because thats what JRs supposed to do, the writers were looking for an actor who could truly radiate the essence of Adam Chandlers son, and felt that taking JR down the path of darkness would help with that. Young, the chosen as best suited for the part, detailed the transition, They wanted it to be like father, like son, so I watched David Canarys mannerisms. I tried to mold those into my own, enough to where I could be his son and they started writing my dialogue like his. He has some one-liners that are pretty funny, David is as big a goofball as I am onset. We have a great dynamic together, youngs portrayal of JR propelled the character into one of the shows more popular and hated characters
