Ryan Kwanten: “Jason got it so low on the evolutionary totem pole.”
In a new interview with CeleBuzz, True Blood star Ryan Kwanten talks about Jason growing up, a grassroots Emmy campaign, and his work with cancer charities:
What can we expect out of your character, Jason Stackhouse, this season?
Jason got it so low on the evolutionary totem pole, so every season he grows more than any other character. This season is no different and probably his biggest growth period. Now a young boy turns into a grown man, and trusts his disposition of authority. He is supposed to look after the family that Crystal left him with so there is a real sense of authority that he really hasn’t really had before. He has always lived a very selfish and self involved life and now he thinks of others before himself.You play the lovably dumb Jason so well. Are people ever surprised when they meet you that your character isn’t really you at all?
When people hear me talk I think they realize that it is a character. It always is a nice compliment when people finally see that it’s just character, because that means I fooled them I guess!
