Earlier today, The CW announced it has picked up One 木, ツリー 丘, ヒル for a full season.
To many ファン of the show, this is exciting for one huge reason: もっと見る Robert Buckley!
The former Lipstick Jungle 星, つ星 has come aboard the long-time series in the role of Clay. In an exclusive interview, he tells TV Fanatic about joining the cast, as well as not wearing a shirt...
TV Fanatic: Are あなた wearing a シャツ right now?
Robert Buckley: Yes.
TV Fanatic: Does it ever bother あなた that you're almost as well known for your literal body of work as for your 芝居 skills?
Buckley: No, because it was never to the detriment of my performance. Going back to Lipstick Jungle, I know I received compliments on the superficial, so to speak, but it was never 発言しました in a way that implied I lacked talent as an actor.
That being said, I knew I wanted a new role that was もっと見る than just the half-naked, カバナ boy. You'll see me in a lot もっと見る clothing on One 木, ツリー Hill.
TV Fanatic: You've come aboard a long-running 表示する and sort of replaced one of its bigger stars, Chad Michael Murray. Have あなた felt any pressure in that regard?
Buckley: I never looked at it that way. The 表示する jumped ahead 14 months, so Lucas and Peyton had a child and left; it was a natural course of events.
A lot can happen in real life in a year's time, so there's wasn't pressure to fill anyone's shoes. The storyline made sense that I wouldn't be treated as a replacement.
TV Fanatic: Did it help that あなた weren't the only new cast member this season? (Jana Kramer and Shantel VanSanten are also new regulars.)
Buckley: I felt self-imposed pressure because the 表示する has been a success for six years. I felt like the new kid in school, but I buddied up quickly with Shanel. We were like the two kids not sitting at the cool 表, テーブル at lunch.
I didn't know anyone else in the cast at first, but everyone was so warm and welcoming.
TV Fanatic: How did あなた approach the role of a sports agent? That profession doesn't have the best reputation.
Buckley: I 発言しました right away that I had no interest in playing Clay as the stereotypical, one-note agent. Someone with no redeeming qualities gets old really fast.
To prepare, I actually watched a movie I already loved: Glengarry Glen Ross. It helped give me an idea of how to argue and how to go head-to-head against someone.
TV Fanatic: Can あなた give us any One 木, ツリー 丘, ヒル spoilers.
Buckley: We've already alluded to a mystery in Clay's past. In the first episode, he 発言しました he doesn't believe in love. That's an interesting statement. It will be explained もっと見る over the 次 five episodes. Viewers will find out もっと見る about who Clay really is. Why is he in 木, ツリー 丘, ヒル and not Los Angeles?
