Episode Report Card 4 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT "I Really Appreciate What You Guys Do"

JD: Oh, yeah. CB: Because some of your character's stauncher defenders are all, "There's no proof! He never admitted it!" even though you kind of did, and at least you definitely didn't deny it. JD: Yeah, Logan did it. And I think that speaks to the general idea that Veronica and Logan can't be together until he reforms, because he does that stuff. Until he makes a major change, they can't really coexist in that kind of relationship. CB: Speaking of the posters, I understand that you were one of the people on the show who started reading TWoP early on. JD: I do, man! I do! I actually did, and I started to change my acting based on what I was reading! I was thinking of what people would like, but then I was like, "Fuck this," and I had to wean myself off it a little bit -- I noticed myself being too much of a sucker. Sometimes I almost wish people would say, "That's bullshit. I didn't believe that," because I know when I fuck up, and when someone tells me I did great work and I know that's not true, I just feel the worst I've ever felt in my life. CB: What exactly do you read on the site? JD: I read the recaps, and I like to read maybe the first couple of pages of what people think about certain episodes, what they liked or disliked. CB: Going back to Logan and Veronica, a lot of the fanbase wants to see them together. You mentioned what the obstacles to that happening are, but is it something you want to see? JD: Well, I think for acting's sake, I'd like it to go back and forth. It's the most dramatic. I love working with [Kristen], but the good scenes without the bad wouldn't be good. I like both, and I think we're on a pretty good path now. If that's how it ends up being written, I'll be thrilled, but on the other hand, I'm happy enough playing against her in the evil way -- it might even be more fun, because we're actually really liking each other underneath it all. The antagonistic scenes are great. CB: Another character you've had some memorable scenes with is Weevil. I know that you and Francis are good friends, and you two always seem really on in your scenes together -- do you guys try to one-up each other? JD: Yeah, I think there's definitely some one-upmanship going on. I don't know -- I think I get the better lines, so I think he just has to take it sometimes. CB: Going back to what you said about Kristen, you and Weevil can be so antagonistic, yet it seems like underneath you do like each other.
