Greg Finley says he wasn’t really into sci-fi prior to taking on the role of Drake in The CW series Star-Crossed, but being a part of the show has upped his interest in the genre. Teaming up with Natalie Hall (‘Taylor’) to talk about the sci-fi/romance/action series during the 2014 WonderCon in Anaheim, CA, Finley confessed he definitely wasn’t a sci-fi geek even though he grew up collecting comics and was into X-Men. However, he’s having a blast playing Drake and considers it one of his favorites characters to play to date.
“I really like this character a lot,” said Finley. “He’s got a lot of different layers. In one scene he’s crying to his mom and the next scene he’s beating up four guys and falling in love with [Taylor]. As an actor it’s like bipolar almost. It’s like he’s just got all these different sides and they’re all fun to play.”
Hall agrees with Finley on how much fun it is to play her character and how Taylor’s developed far more than she initially thought she would based on the first script. The two also agree on what it’s like to be a part of this new The CW show and how appreciative they are of the support viewers have shown for the aliens-on-earth series.
