Pretty Little Liars - Brendan Robinson (Lucas) Interview

Share on Reddit

1. How did you get into acting? Has it always been a dream of yours?

I was fortunate enough to grow up in a city (Portland, Oregon) that had two children's theaters. My parents started taking my brother and I to see plays when we were very young. When I was 5, I took my first acting class at the children's theater and was totally hooked. I would take classes and perform in plays on the weekends just like other kids would play sports. So, for as long as I can remember, it had always been a dream of mine to act professionally.

2. You originally auditioned for the role of Mike on "Pretty Little Liars". Are you glad you got the part of Lucas instead, who seems to be rather multidimensional?

I did audition for Mike originally! They ended up wanting somebody a little younger for that role. A couple weeks later they asked me to come back and audition for Lucas. It was one of those instances where I read the script and instantly connected with the character. I feel very lucky the writers have given me a pretty wide range of things to do as Lucas. When we first met him, he was very sweet and funny and awkward. It's like a 180 degree turn now that we are exploring the darker side of the character.

3. What do you like about playing Lucas and do you see him as one of the good or bad guys in Rosewood? Or is he just misunderstood?

I actually don't want to reveal too much, because we will learn more about what's going on with Lucas in when the show comes back in January!!

4. This year there is going to be another Halloween Special. What is the best part of shooting such a special?

Yes! The Halloween episode this year is going to knock your socks off!! It takes place on a train. One of the most exciting parts about shooting PLL for me is the production design. I think if I weren't an actor, I would be a set/ production designer. They built the entire train on one of our soundstages and it looked amazing! They lifted the set off the ground about a foot with cables and had crew guys shaking it back and forth so the train looked and felt like it was in motion.
