"Behind the Scenes"
Subtitles by josmndsn
It's a great story about
a teenage boy who exhibits extraordinary abilities
and how it changes him.
A timeless story of
teenagers in transformation
but given an innocent darker side.
It's very much a coming of age story.
My character is Scott McCall
and he's going through a lot of things, right now, you know.
He's going through his first love.
Classic high school drama, you know. Homework. Growing up.
And, also, let's not forget ...
becoming a werewolf.
Tyler Posey was one of the few
kids who came in who I think really captured,
uh, what we wanted.
Russ and I looked at each other and said, this is the kid.
Tyler Posey's character, Scott McCall,
we wanted something that was more,...
more of a Peter Parker than an Edward Cullen.
All the other shows, um,...
they got their morose, brooding, anti-hero down.
We wanted something more akin to a super-hero.
Scott gets bitten and then,
then I start noticing these changes about me, where,
like my hearing is enhanced.
My sight, um, my smell ...
Hey, little man,
how about you telling me where you're getting your juice.
Jackson's the 'big' on campus.
He's the, the ideal kind of high school jock.
What?
(Slow & deliberately)Where are you getting your juice?
My Mom does all the grocery shopping.
I'm not, like, a jerk, in real life.
I have never have been like a person that's been
uh, way too nice, you know.
So, getting to just not care
and getting to kind of let loose and be like
you really don't like him, you know,
I think that it's fun to act that.
He, um, hates Scott McCall
so much.
He's just this goober kind of nerdy guy
and that is also on the lacross team,
do better than he is, taking his position,
Jackson really ddn't notice Scott, I think,
before he became a werewolf
and all of a sudden
he's better than Jackson and it starts to catch my eye.
What the hell is going on with you, McCall?
What's going on with me?
You really want to know?
Well, SO WOULD I,
because I can see, hear and smell things
that I shouldn't be able to see, hear and smell.
I do things that should be impossible.
I'm sleepwalking three miles into the middle of the woods
and I'm pretty much convinced that I'm totally out of my freaking mind.
(long exhale sigh)
Stiles originally first notices
the changes he's going through
and kind of puts two and two together.
I'm pretty sure it was a wolf.
No, not a chance.
A wolf bit you? - Uh, huh.
I heard him howling.
No, you didn't.
How do you know I didn't? How do you know what I heard?
It's because California doesn't have wolves. Okay, ...
not in like sixty years.
Stiles, um, Scott's best friend,
and Dylan is basically my best friend in real life, so the
chemistry definitely reads well on camera.
This thing has happened to my freind and, and, it's beyond
anyone's imagination.
So, I'm just there to kind of
just keep him level-headed.
I'm more in denial.
I don't want, want, to believe it.
I'm like, all right dude, screw you.
I'm not a werewolf. I'm not going to believe you.
It was the stupidest thing I ever heard. And then it
turns out you were right.
The curse, Scott.
Change can be caused by anger or anything that raises your pulse.
I don't see anything that raises your pulse like Allison does.
Scott and Allison's romance is a
is, is, it's very, it's so cute.
and, and, you know, it's nice and unique
because it's their first love
and everyone remembers their first love.
Allison, she's been sort of carted around from school to school
because of her dad's job.
She is trying to find herself
and she's dealing with all those things that teenagers deal with
like, do I fit in.
Constantly having to change who she is.
She comes to Beacon Hills and she finds
this boy, who she instantly falls in love with.
I love figuring out
motivation behind the character.
The different tactics my character uses to get what she wants.
You did this to me.
You and me, Scott, we're brothers, now.
Derek knows every second of being normal.
It's been a lot of fun to play this kind of,
you know, you don't really know how he is or what his true intentions are.
He's kind of this guy who kind of rides the moral fence a little bit
you don't know if he's good or bad.
The bite is a gift. - I don't want it.
You will. But, you will have to resist
crossing the line.
And, you're going to need me if want to learn how to control it.
I think this is the best thing that's happen to this town since
the birth of Lydia Martin. Hey, Lydia.
You look ... like, you're going to ignore me.
Lydia rules the school socially and academicly
and, so whoever's on top she wants to be associated with.
She your quintessential mean girl.
She thinks that if she's associated with Scott
when he's sort of coming into his own
and people are starting to take notice of him,
you know, she'll get associated with just even more success.
Haven't you ever seen, The Wolfman? - No.
Lon Chaney, Jr. ... Claude Rains?
No.
The original classic werewolf movie?
No ... what?
You're so unprepared for this.
When I read the script for this I got really excited about it.
I loved the characters. I liked the storyline.
I liked the idea that it was, you know,
about these kids who are in high school and are growing up.
But it wasn't that kind of cliche story of that.
It was this extremely dark, extremely sexy,
but at the same time, like, it has so much heart.
It's something that has a lot of twists and turns.
Our writer, creator, Jeff Davis, he's very, very, knowledgeable
and does a lot of homework and has done a great job of integrating
all these different kinds of a
werewolf mythology ideas from
different places and different cultures and kind of integrating it
into the storyline.
We play with the mythology and we play with the, uh,
many of the rumors and stories
about shapeshifters.
There's volumes of it.
Uh, every society, country,
seems to have a story about a shapeshifter.
And, the wolf is, uh,
one of the most perfect predators,
in the animal kingdom, so it has always been a source
of fear among people.
The process of the werewolf makeup can be quite
grueling, at times,
the best part about playing Stiles, I would say,
is not having to go through three hours of makeup.
It's human hair. I wasn't aware of that.
One of the most ... annoying parts about
the makeup was the contacts.
Somebody else had to put them in my eyes for me.
That was really weird, just like sitting there
and like having someone put them in for me, was freaking me out.
But, um, like I figured it out that I could do it myself.
I just wish I figured it out sooner.
The best part about playing Scott is probably
all the cool stuff that he gets to do,
like stunts.
I couldn't have played Scott.
She gets to do a lot of physical things.
So, she gets to do a lot of work with a bow and arrow
and she works with a tazer. And, she does a lot of stunt work.
Yeah, I'm supposed to like do my work like an actor and, you know,
go to train in lacrosse camp across the world,
but I am horrible at it.
I'm supposed to say that I do my own stunts, but definitely not.
I think I've run more in the five months
that I have been here, than my entire life.
My physical action is usually just running
away.
Eating a lot and working out,
I definitely had to keep that in balance.
Because, I love my food and I don't like working out.
It was like 18 donuts and a couple of situps
and I was usually fine.
Yooow!
If I were a werewolf,
I'd feel like I would be pretty stoked about it.
you know.
I think I would be able to handle it a lot better than Scott does.
This show means more than just a job to me,
because these peep become my, my good friends.
We're with each other every single day of the week.
But, on the weekends, we still hang out.
We have the best chemistry, ever.
It's been a really fun experience.
I can't imagine being here with any other group of people.
My celebrity crushes
are Holland Roden and Crystal Reed
They're, um, on a show called, Teen Wolf,
and they, um, they're so-o hot.
Yep, ...
they're good kissers, too.
I so like the group.
Expect to be surprised.
In the end, the pilot does launch the show in a different direction.
Um, you will be surprised who lives and dies.
