Braden Walkes

Braden Walkes first appeared as Cameron Webber on General Hospital in 2006 after the character had not been seen since the previous year. He actually was not in the industry when he booked the role but rather auditioned with the encouragement of neighbor and future on-screen mother Becky Herbst. From that point on he enjoyed every minute on set, often working with his ‘little brothers’ Edward and James Nigbor. He enjoyed working with his on-screen parents and would constantly look for Greg Vaughn when he got to the GH studio when Greg played his father.

Braden filmed a big storyline where his character set fire to his house and while on set from cast and crew to his own parents….Braden received numerous talks about how wrong it is to do this at home and how its only for pretend right now. As he got older, he continued to get more material in his scripts and opportunity to be more interactive in his scenes. After six years in the role, he was recast when the show opted to do something not typically seen and de-age the character.

Career Highlights
After joining the industry upon booking the role of Cameron, Braden began auditioning for other projects as well, landing a commercial for Old Navy in 2010.

Current Updates
Braden left the industry after his time on General Hospital wrapped. Nothing has been publicly released since, however it is noted that he has continued to be good friends with co-star Becky Herbst’s children into their teen years.

Stars Say

  • “Since his mom, Danielle, is one of my closest friends, we talked about it beforehand. I told him ‘You have to plant that seed right now and let him know its not okay to play with matches.’ Throughout the weeks leading up to the scene, his parents talked to him about it. Then, on set, I felt an obligation to say ‘Look how bad these things can be.’ It worked out well. Braden is 4. He is aware of what fire can do. In a way, this showed him what can happen and killed his whole curiosity. We were able to say ‘Look, Braden. You throw a match into the trash can and now look at the house,’ because he was there when the house went up in flames on-set. It was a really good lesson for him.” – Becky Herbst, Soap Opera Weekly
  • “We were doing a scene in Elizabeth’s house and in the middle of the scene he discovered one of the call sheets that was stuffed behind a cushion, which the actors do oftentimes, and in the middle of a scene he pulled it out and said ‘What’s this?’ which was pretty funny.” – Jonathan Jackson, Soap Opera Digeest
