Check out this Q&A I participated in with Kirsten Prout, who plays Amanda on ABC Family’s Kyle XY. And watch an all new episode tonight.
Now that Amanda is back, how will things evolve between her and Kyle for the rest of this season?
Kirsten: I think viewers should expect to see a definite change in Amanda, because she grew up in New York. I think there were a lot of emotional experiences that happened with her and she’s really become quite defiant. I think, because Amanda is back, viewers are going to see a bit more backbone and she’s going to stand up for herself. She’s stronger.
Last week, I was able to participate in a Q&A with Summer Glau, who plays Cameron in the new Sarah Connor Chronicles!
One of the things that’s interesting about Cameron is that not only does she have the action scenes, but the comedy is very central to the character. Could you talk about sort of that deadpan attitude that you have to play there?
S. Glau – It’s just Josh Friedman. It was his idea, you know, and it was a fine balance from the pilot to the series, deciding exactly how Cameron was going to relate to the people around her. And I think we all felt that it was a great comic opportunity. It’s been really fun for me.
This past Tuesday I was able to participate in a call-in Q&A with Chris Olivero, who plays Declan in ABC Family Channel’s Kyle XY. Chris was smart and witty – I was a very fun experience! Keep reading to hear more about the upcoming episodes of Kyle XY and more insight into the character of Declan. Various media outlets asked questions as well, so I placed my questions first below…
SciFiChick: What do you enjoy most about working on the show?
C. Olivero: It’s got to be the people I work with. It’s a great group of people. We film up in Vancouver, so we’re all away from home, except for Jean-Luc and Kirsten; they live there. But we’re all away from home. When you’re on location, if you don’t have a good rapport with people, it’s harder than anything because a lot of times you have down days where you don’t have much to do in your hotel or your apartment or whatever.
So working with a great group of people, working with a great crew – and this is one of the only shows that I’ve worked on – there’s not a lot of division. The network people, the writers, the crew, the actors, everybody hangs out. It’s not really where the actors kind of find their thing and then the writers are over there and the producers are over here. We’re all in it together; we’re all enjoying it together.
