 Do You Have Any Scene Favourites For Locke?

 I enjoyed doing the split-screen scenes, where I would do all the acting in one frame, then director Robert Cooper would make a split-screen of my head with me saying my lines in two different places. It was an interesting challenge as soon as he told me it was going to be like that because we have these amazing actors like Max Thieriot on the show and it was his first time playing a character like this and he was fantastic.

Do You Have A Favourite Episode Of Locke And Key?

I enjoyed “Head Games” from season one. It was the first one I shot with the split screen, which was an interesting challenge. And Max Thieriot’s character, Tyler, goes through some interesting twists and turns in that episode. And I liked “Keystone” from season two where you find out about my character’s past with Quinn and how he accidentally killed her.

Can You Tell Us More About What The Character Joe Goes Through In Locke And Key?

Joe goes through the most. His life is flipped on its head so many times throughout the series, starting with his mother killing herself, then him learning about his family’s past and how he was conceived, then he loses his father at the beginning of season two, and finally he loses everyone else when they all get killed by demons at the end of season two . . . It’s just a lot to take in and I feel like I’m living out a lot of stuff on screen because if I’m feeling it while we’re filming, then hopefully that’ll translate well onto the camera.
