I thought the character was fascinating. I feel his archetype is Jess [Milo Ventimiglia] from GILMORE GIRLS. He comes into town, and he’s a little bit of a troublemaker. He’s got a chip on his shoulder. He’s dealing with a lot of internal struggle. He’s had a crazy life with parents, who have had issues of their own.
He added:
He hasn’t had a really strong relationship with his father, having been away in California for so long. At heart he’s a really wonderful kid, who cares about his family and his friends. It’s just that he’s built up so many walls throughout his life, because he doesn’t know who he can trust.
Mann is really enjoying working with fellow newcomer and scene partner Ashley Puzemis (AKA Holly Jonas). He said:
She’s a fantastic actress. So we very quickly picked up on what the script was giving us. It felt very natural and fluid. It felt great from the beginning, so I was very excited to get on set and start working with her.
