Exclusive Harper's Island Interview with
Dean Chekvala
Another of our one-of-a-kind Harper's Island victim interviews.
by Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com
JD Dunn (Dean Chekvala) plays the groom Henry’s brother on Harper's
Island, the weekly mystery in which someone dies in every episode.
This week it was JD, the dark and brooding loner with tattoos all
over. Being the only brother of the groom should have made him a
lock for "best man," but JD was barely a guest at the wedding and
would not have minded just missing the whole shebang all together.
His childish antics, such as lighting firecrackers with 11-year-old
Madison make Henry's life difficult… and sometimes there's a
malevolence in them that makes everyone wonder if JD had some secret
endgame. Now, we will never know!
Here is our 5-question game with Dean Chekvala:
1. Never mind the Facebook 25 Random Things. That's too much
information. Just tell we horror fans one random thing about JD.
JD’s original death
scene involved holding a bunch of guts (sausages) but then the show
ended up using the milder version.
2. J.D. Dunn is known as "The Black Sheep" - he's also tried to
make himself sort of an ugly duckling with his apparel and tattoos,
and sees himself as a scapegoat. What other animal analogies can we
apply to JD?
He is also like a hawk –
'cause most of the time he sits back and observes.
3. If JD were able to
come back from the afterlife, who would be most like to haunt, and
why?
Madison, 'cause she
would get a kick out of it.
4. It seems as though
JD and Madison enjoyed stirring up trouble together -- why the
connection?
I think they were
kindred spirits because they both can see through people.
5. In the vein of
Damien's nanny from The Omen ("It's all for you, Damien!"), JD tells
Abby that everyone on Harper's Island is dying because of her. So -
What are you own favorite depressing 'famous last words'?
My favorite would be
from Hamlet though it is not depressing. Horatio, “Good night sweet
prince and flights of angles since thee to thy rest.” Or “Be sure
and tell them large Marge sent ya” – Peewee’s Big Adventures.
