 TerminatorSite
Talks To... Thomas Dekker (John Connor)
Continuing our marathon of interviews with the cast of Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles, we now share our interview with
Thomas Dekker (John Connor) conducted by TerminatorSite's
Craig Byrne. Here's what Thomas had to say...
"The thing about John that I like, that is interesting as
an actor, is that he's constantly fighting his own battle inside
himself, which is that he really doesn't want this burden,"
Thomas says. "Who would want it? But on the other hand, he's
also really... he has it in there. It's there, so there's a big
part of him that wants to fight, that wants that time to be there
already, and then there's another part of him that's like no, no,
no, go away. So there's an interesting argument."
Thomas also spoke of his working relationship with Lena Headey,
who plays his mother, Sarah Connor. "I've said this a million
times in interviews, so people are going to have heard it again,
but out of every honor I've had doing this show, that's been the
biggest gift. Because I love her. We love each other. Working 14
hours, 16 hours a day with people, if we didn't like each other,
I would have killed myself."
Keeping the secrets of the show's future to himself, Thomas did
reveal that there will be some evolution to his character as the
series progresses. "We said from Day One that it would be an
arc. We wanted to start one place and eventually end up a totally
different one. He's growing. He's changing. He's maturing. So we
kind of started it in a place of fear and anxiety, and shyness,
and he's sort of breaking out of that," he says.
