Ward on actor Michael Roark

She had kind words about actor Michael Roark, who portrays Butch. “Michael Roark was absolutely fabulous,” Ward exclaimed. “He was the perfect Butch too. His audition video was the first one I saw. His Boston accent was spot-on.”

On the title of the current chapter of her life, Ward enthused, “Passionflix does New York and we had a great time.”

Ward hopes to make additional seasons of this book series for Passionflix with Tosca Musk.
