Our Bitten interviews continue as we chat with the man behind Jeremy Danvers.
Bryk has many years of experience to draw from when playing the paternal Jeremy Danvers.
Fellow cast member,Laura Vandervoort[Elena Danvers] described Greg as an amazing dad and amazing man.
A father to three, Greg describes himself as a PTA dad that plays monsters.
Bryk definitely had some great things to say aboutBittenand some good behind the scenes information as well.
And Im sure some of the younger cast members would sort of echo that.
But I keep my geek hidden
Now, theres no reason for that!
Different mediums, they have different requirements and different demands.
Something that I find funny is that the book is based near Syracuse, NY, and Im actuallyfromSyracuse.
Every summer, my family drives from Toronto, along 81, past Syracuse.
Ive spent a little bit of time in Upstate NY.
Buffalo is obviously right across the lake from us in Toronto.
And Albany, Ive spent a little bit of time there.
That becomes our physical reality.
Other than a lose familiarity with the region… its a fairly familiar geography for us.
Theres nothing so particularly different about it.
Its not like were in another country or theres a huge cultural shift or anything.
I think its a couple of things.
The thing with Jeremy is, detached is a very good description.
Its not that engaging to watch someone who doesnt seem to care about anything.
But it is a more active relationship that I have with the Pack than Jeremy.
Going back to you having read up on Jeremys background.
Theres much more personal background in the book than there is in the show.
In the show, were just thrown little bits and pieces of who Jeremy is.
Or do you think that the structure weve been given makes it not necessary to reveal those things?
Its interesting: The back story of Jeremy is fascinating.
How I define myself in opposition to what he was.
No matter how much we try in life, we are the echo of our parents.
You have to come to peace with it.
Now this year, theyve also added witches.
That addition would definitely be interesting considering the lack of maternal roles because of the Pack dynamic.
Its a male dominated world, and its a world of imbalance as well.
We each have something to contribute to a larger piece.
I know you have the first few episodes of the new season.
How do you like the look of the series this season?
The process being shown in more detail than you generally get.
In fact, what youre disappointed in now, you will be satisfied ten-fold going forward.
It is a huge plot point in one of the episodes.
I quite enjoyed that separation.
You will be entertained.
You mentioned before that you would have the Pack over for dinner and off set bonding and what not.
Does that extend to just the main Pack/characters?
Or are others involved as well?
I took care of them all for a little bit.
But its primarily my Pack.
When Pete and Antonio were still involved, they would also come to the house.
Now its just a sort of Pack night.
Its a very different show this year: The tone of the show, the look of the show.
It feels kind of like a reboot in some strange way, even though wed only done one season.
The focus pivoted so dramatically from just the werewolves, to include the magic element.
So there you have it, my fellowBittenfans.
But who wouldve ever thought that bond would be so close to what we see between the characters?
