What did you do
to prepare yourself for the role of “Nicholas DeLong” in the series Beauty?
I don’t think I’m a method actor but I do like to
think I am able to transform myself into the role of the character; I like to
become the character. For ‘Nick’, I became a support system. I worked on becoming
a person who was loyal and understanding of something the lead role of ‘Blake
Foster’ was going through. I mean it’s hard to be a friend to someone who
basically has admitted to becoming some supernatural, unstoppable killing
machine. So I worked on believability of ‘Nick’s’ acceptance to the situation
and did as I thought he would having been the wolf’s closest friend. And I also
wanted to maintain a sort of humorous edge to him. He was a bit of comic
relief, something I think that helped ‘Blake’ feel comfortable as the wolf
around someone he’d known his entire life.
