Trace Adkins plays a country singer on “Monarch”, but the similarities end there. After all, it’s a TV show. Still, somebody asked how much of Trace is in the character. Trace said “The only similarity between myself and Albie . . . we do the same thing for a living. “I leave the set every day going, ‘Thank God I don’t have to deal with the stuff that man has to deal with.’ Because I would put somebody in a sleeper hold every day.” A man that has a lot of daughters, I can see where he’s coming from.
