1. How much did you know about your role on “Once upon a time” when you auditioned?
Nothing more than what was stated in his entrance, a stranger, rides in on a motorcycle, typewriter inside a wooden box. I created my own character history from that information, and then I had to change it all when I found out who my character was four episodes later.
2. At what point did you learn about your fairytale character? And do you hope to be able to play your character in the fairytale world sometime?
I caught a false statement in the text, something August said that I knew to be untrue, I asked the writers about it and they decided they couldn’t keep the secret from me any longer. They had an interesting plan, they were never honest with me about anything, as far as I can tell, which on some level, they must have thought was a clever way to deal with the actor playing Pinocchio.
3. Do you follow the fan theories about the characters and storylines? Do you and your cast mates yourself spin some theories?
Sure, sometimes, I’m happy to hear someone’s theory, in person, I like seeing people excited about their own ideas and all the ways it reveals how they see the world, but online there are just too many, it confuses things.
4. Fans of the show pick up every single detail. Does that affect your work as an actor?
“God is in the details” or the devil, take your pick.
ABC sent your name alongside with your co-star Jared Gilmore to the Emmy Board for “consideration”. We keep our fingers crossed that you’ll get nominated. When and how did you find out about that?
Just now, thank you.
