What's your favourite scene from "Settle Down" and why is it your favourite?
My favourite scene after writing the scripts was the dinner fight in episode 2 during Ben's birthday dinner. It was fun to write and really fun to act out with Leighton, Izad, and Vasilios. But after finishing the entire shoot, I'd have to say Mason's big finale moment was the most fun! I don't want to give too much away, but I really got to let loose on that one.
If you had to describe "Settle Down" to a friend in just one sentence, what would you say?
The most hypocritical love expert on the planet is miraculously good at his job.
What do you enjoy doing when you're not acting?
I'm a closeted gamer, I think! I rarely tell people how much I love video games, but I'm COMIN' OUT.
Do you have any rituals or habits to get into character before a scene?
I'll do different things depending on the character or show, but my jaw is tight, so I always massage it and do some vocal warmups on the car ride to set. Mason is particularly tightly wound, so I tend to pace around and do a lot of finger-pointing before getting into a scene, ha ha ha.
Do you see any of yourself in the character you play on the show?
Mason's romantic mistakes remind me a lot of who I was in the early days of my relationship (now marriage). I hated being wrong! I still do, but I'm better at acknowledging my screw-ups nowadays. I'm definitely way less uptight than he is and a lot more careful with how I speak to people. Mason says some real cutting stuff that I never could in real life!
