“He’s somebody who would rather be at the party talking about the war than be in the war.” Brandon Scott Jones, who plays Capt. Isaac Higgintoot on CBS's 'Ghosts,' spoke to the Times about the breakout success of the ensemble series:
“He’s somebody who would rather be at the party talking about the war than be in the war,” Brandon Scott Jones says of his “Ghosts” character Capt. Isaac Higgintoot.
says he is still struggling to wrap his head around the breakout success of the ensemble series, which has helped breathe new life into the network sitcom.But when Jones first received the audition to play Higgintoot, who falls in love with a British soldier in the afterlife, he didn’t think he could believably embody the gravitas of a forgotten and closeted Revolutionary War soldier.
Born and raised in Bel Air, Md., Jones dreamed of becoming a professional tennis player. But once he realized that was not a viable option, he directed his attention to the performing arts, having grown up with parents who would show him Mel Brooks and Rosalind Russell films. He studied acting at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and later performed with the Upright Citizens Brigade, where he learned the value of working in an ensemble cast.
