Starting Monday April 2, THE STAR will be running its new and exciting short story called The Sun Also Rises.

The story is about Rose Dixon, a mother and teacher struggling to raise a wayward son while being forced to put up with a cheating and abusive husband who no longer loves her and shows it in every way. She also has to put up with a nagging, though well-meaning mother. The story has many twists and turns and although Rose is well intentioned, she cannot prevent a series of events from happening.

Today, we talk to cast member Walter Hewell who took on the role of Dennis Dixon, Rose's son. You can also be a part of the experience by sending us your feedback to star@gleanerjm.com or sending a short text message about the story to 467-2165. NO calls will be accepted on this number.

CHARACTER: Dennis Dixon REAL NAME: Walter Hewell WHY HE WANTED TO BE A PART: I thought it was a good opportunity for me to get exposure with me being a model and all. MOST CHALLENGING SCENE: The last scene because it had to be shot from different angles because the passageway was too small and we needed a longer one. OTHER CHARACTER HE WANTED TO PLAY: (Laughs) None. I'm satisfied with mine.
