Weve known that much since Netflix released thefirst trailerfor13 Reasons Why.
I was taken aback for a second.
Im like, Did I do something wrong?
Is this why youre killing me off this show?
I think thats why I was so excited once he sort of walked me through everything.
Ive gotten to explore the villain side of Bryce for many years now.
And thats been, as an actor, very rewarding playing something different from how I am.
And then of course he still has his relapses back into old Bryce, triggered by certain characters.
When does it break?
When does he learn?
How much does he learn?
All of that sort of stuff.
So it was really fun to play with.
So certain people can easily revert him back to his old self.
Thats what hes been for so long.
Thats what we wanted.
It is sort of a volatile concoction.
It could explode at any moment.
That give and take is interesting and terrifying between the two characters.
Because I didnt want to know.
I didnt want to have scenes with that in the back of my mind.
I didnt want it to influence how I went about the scenes.
I felt it was safer to just not worry about it and keep it as a secret.
They were great in keeping it a secret from me.
I was like, Yeah, I get it.
I didnt necessarily call this one.
So I had parts of the puzzle sort of mapped out, but not the whole picture.
So that was a fun little surprise.
Those were also very difficult.
So it was challenging but really fun as an actor.
Overall, what is your takeaway from this experience?I feel so honored and fulfilled as an actor.
Its been just a joy and a pleasure every day to jump into these boots.
I think all the actors would say the same.
Its also a rarity that we got a cast that gets along so well.
Weve become such a big family.
Im gonna miss everything about it.
Its been a really, really good run.
