Matt Barr has to be easily one of the nicest people I have ever interviewed. Barr was easy to talk to, engaging, excited, and was like a ray of sunshine on the screen. He bursts with energy when he talks about his characters, bringing them to life in his stories. We began one of his beloved but short-lived characters on One Tree Hill, to my obsession with Valor (I still think it should have gotten renewed), and then finally to one of the best cowboys of all time Hoyt Rawlins. Barr said there is nothing better than playing a cowboy and seeing the changes that have slowly begun happening to Hoyt as the season progresses. We talk about how open he is on camera, his honesty, and why we all love him. He answered everything from the picture that broke the internet to if he knew he was going from Walker to Walker: Independence. He was as charming as ever -- which makes sense because his acting falls nothing shy of perfection.
