TV Interview!
Interview with Timon Kyle Durrett of “Beyond the Gates” on CBS by Suzanne 9/11/26
I really enjoyed speaking with Timon. He’s an amazing actor, which you can see if you watch the series. He’s able to show so many sides of his character, Bill. It’s no surprise that he’s nominated for a Daytime Emmy this year! I hope he wins, but his category has very stiff competition. He’s up against quite a few CBS stars, including Mike Manning, who plays Smitty on BTG as well.
I’m not sure why Timon is nominated as a supporting actor because he drives a lot of story in the show. Either way, it’s fun to watch Bill navigate the drama on the show, with his ex-wives, his daughters and more. I hope you enjoy our interview! Where to Watch the 53rd Daytime Emmys

BEYOND THE GATES is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you’ll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have “made it” and those who haven’t are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.

Timon Kyle Durrett
A versatile actor, artist and author, Timon Kyle Durrett made his mark on Alcorn State University both in his studies and on the men’s basketball team. Soon after graduating cum laude, the former college athlete and scholar moved to Los Angeles, where he honed his craft and pursued his dream of being an actor.
Durrett paid his dues with bit parts in independent productions until he finally started to earn guest roles on flagship shows. Television credits include CSI: NY, GHOST WHISPERER, CSI: MIAMI, “Castle,” “Samantha Who,” “Heroes,” “Girlfriends,” “Eve” and “Cherish the Day.” Also, he had a recurring role of the controversial Quinn Davis in VH1’s first-ever scripted series, SINGLE LADIES.
On the stage he earned rave reviews for his role in the national tour of Tyler Perry’s hit play “The Marriage Counselor.”
Durrett’s feature film credits include the role of retired football star Dom Clayton in “Cheaper by the Dozen”; Davis West, the philandering husband and father fans loved to hate on “Queen Sugar”; and conflicted husband Luvell Burton on “Stuck with You.”
