"I think the biggest reason Charmed is such a success is because nobody takes it too seriously. Everyone kind of takes it for what it is and has fun with it, these boundaries that we've been given. It's fun, but it's much harder, I think, than a mystery or just a normal television drama, because here you have to make dragons and witches and potions and spells all really believable. In order for the audience to even believe it a bit, you have to sell it. I think that element is a big challenge."

"You know, I don't watch that much television, but when I found out there was a possibility that I could be on the show, I started watching to get a feeling for the comedy element, and what they were going for."

"Truth be told, I was originally signed on for two episodes, and that was going to be the season finale of last year with the possibility of two more, obviously depending on how well I gel with the cast. Then they saw the dynamic and they liked what they saw, and they called me over the summer and told me they were going to pick me up for the whole season, which was great. They kind of started hinting at "We're going to make you the son," and "You're going to be the son from the future that helps save the family. So I've kind of known all along, and that's actually been the hardest thing. I mean, it's easy for a character, because now I have a direction; I know my relationship with Holly and Brian is much different than it would have been if I wasn't their son, but it was also more difficult because I couldn't tell anyone, whether it was in interviews or on set. I think they told me before they told anyone else, so it really helped my character because it set the story; they didn't know I was their son, but I did."

I don't know anything about next season, but the season finale came up on us very quickly this year, and I think this is one of the first years where they had an overall arc, because one of the things about the show is that you can watch Charmed and put it in any order whatsoever and you won't feel like you need to see last week's . This year, there's been an arc with my character, coming in and trying to save the family, protecting my brother from turning evil, and I think they're going to try to develop another full story next year."

"I swear to god. Every single week I learn something new. Like "Oh I can do that?" and they were like "Yeah, you didn’t know that?" No, I had no idea!"

"At the beginning of the season, every single episode they were giving me a different girl to hook up with. It was cool! It was fantastic, but my girlfriend didn’t think so. She wrote a memo to them saying "Cut it out, I’m not having it." We’re watching every week and he’s hooking up with someone different. So they stopped and I haven’t had a sexual interest or love interest in 6 or 8 months."

I love my job. I’m so blessed. It's so amazing to wake up and go to work with that group of people every single day. And let’s say you’re having a bad day, you have tomorrow to make it up because the job is there. It’s just unbelievable, it’s the biggest blessing I’ve ever encountered."

"Well, the show's been on for five years, and so when I came on, everything was kind of a well oiled machine and everyone kind of does their own thing and it's easy for them, me: I'm new, I'm nervous, and I'm like, 'okay lets do it' and I am really excited about all the material and stuff - it's different coming to a show that's been established, it's a blessing really."

"I was bummed when I found out that there was another month of repeats. I love watching the finished product and seeing what I perhaps could have done differently as an actor as well as elements that did and didn't work."

"The director of Spin City, Mel Damski, is absolutely fantastic. I had so much trust in him and as a result I never felt any self-doubt. Mel basically put any insecurities I might have had to rest and that allowed me to get on with the job at hand."

"I really enjoyed working with the prosthetics in that episode (spin city). Having all that stuff on my hands and face really helped me get into character. The biggest challenge was when the fake nails on the claws I was wearing kept falling off. We were on location for one day in a sandpit and after every take there were people on their hands and knees looking for my nails. Another challenge was trying to go to the bathroom with claws on my hands. Now that's an adventure all on its own."

"The moment the season finale ends, viewers will be dying to know what happens next. All I can say is it's going to be a long summer."
