The WB: Without
giving too much away, what can you tell me about Cole's future?
Julian: Firstly I think that the major crux of Cole's story line is the
love story between him and Phoebe. That said, Cole was sent there on a
mission, and to achieve his mission he's going to whatever lengths he has to.
His connections to the powers that be run really deep...
The WB: How
does it feel to play a bad guy?
Julian: Well, we don't know he's totally a bad guy do we? It feels
really good actually. His character has been so different and so fun to play,
every day I go into work I'm almost playing a different character. Besides
what happens in the scene there are so many different layers.
The WB: Does working on a show that uses
special effects change the way you approach a scene?
Julian: Yes, it definitely adds an element of creativity that isn't
there without it. Like with my shadow, I wanted to really create a
relationship between Cole and his shadow and wanted the shadow to have its own
personality. Even the shimmering thing when I appear somewhere else adds to
the scene. Every time I shimmer I want it to be different to fit the scene.
It's a wonderful thing to do, not negative in any way.
The WB: How do you feel about the subject
matter of the show?
Julian: It scares me (laughs). I'm kind of a believer in anything. The
show takes it pretty far, but I love that kind of thing. Some of it I buy into
realistically like spirits and energies and even witches. The show takes it a
step further, but the fantasy world is a good place to be.
The WB: What are the main differences between
filming a soap opera and a weekly show?
Julian: The first thing I'd say is time, the amount of time you spend
on set in a soap is limited because you're using three cameras and there are a
lot of characters. On Charmed the story lines are spread between three
or four characters not twenty or thirty and you're only using one camera. I
like working with one camera better, you get to concentrate more on the
details. On a daytime soap you do an episode a day so it's a whole different
concept.
The WB: What
made you decide to go from studying law to modeling?
Julian: To be honest, at the time I was a little bored with studying. I
think that whole studying thing is weird, you do it for years and years just
to go study more. I needed a break from that. When modeling came along it was
really exciting, I was meeting really great people and making a lot of money.
The WB: Do
you ever regret leaving school?
Julian: No, not for one second.
