Charles Esten plays Deacon Clayborne on the hit ABC drama, Nashville, and fortunately, Charles says there is not a lot he has in common with his character. “I’m very different than Deacon in many, many ways, but there’s a lot of, ‘There but for the grace of God go I.’ He’s had it harder than I probably had it, so it’s taken its toll and he’s got his demons that he battles, and I guess everybody does, but I’m pretty different, but I’m glad for it.”
New episodes of NASHVILLE return to ABC on Wednesday, March 16th.
