Greyston Holt Habla sobre BITTEN, cómo se unió a la serie y por qué, el leer el primer libro, el entrenar para las escenas de lucha, el cliffhanger del final de temporada y más
Por Christina Radish 03 Feb 2014
The new series Bitten, based on the first of best-selling author Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld novels, tells the story of lone female werewolf Elena Michaels (Laura Vandervoort), a woman desperate to escape a world she never wanted to be a part of. The betrayal of having been turned sent her running to try to lead a normal life away from her pack family, until she’s pressured to return to help track down a killer that threatens to expose the secret existence of werewolves. The show also stars Greyston Holt, Greg Bryk, Steve Lund, Michael Xavier, Paulino Nunes and Paul Greene.
During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, actor Greyston Holt talked about how he came to be a part of Bitten, what attracted him to the project, why he chose to read the book before doing the show, how much training he’s had to do for the fight scenes, the evolution of the relationship between Clay and Elena, what he thought when he saw what his wolf would look like, how awkward it can be to act opposite nothing, and that there’s a really good cliffhanger at the end of the season. Check out what he had to say after the jump.
Collider: How did you come to this show?
GREYSTON HOLT: It was just the typical drawn-out audition process. I sent a tape to Toronto from Vancouver, which is home, last January. And then, a couple weeks later, there was a request for another tape, so I did that. And then, a couple weeks after that, I went into a studio in Vancouver and did a Skype audition with the producers and creators. And then, a couple weeks after that, they brought me out to Toronto for a screen test. Then, it took about a week before I got the good news. It was a very drawn-out process.
Did you do a chemistry test with Laura Vandervoort?
HOLT: Yeah, at the screen test, I did a chemistry read with Laura, and we hit it off. We definitely had a little spark there.
What was it about this story and character that appealed to you enough to sign on for what could be a few years?
HOLT: It’s awesome to support this book because it’s a Canadian author, Kelley Armstrong, which is amazing. And it’s a fun character to play. I grew up in a very rural area, on a small island called Salt Spring, on the west coast here. So, I was always very in touch with nature and just being out in the woods, and that’s a big part of our characters. We go out on these runs, and it’s a bit of a catharsis getting out there and having that release. And then, there’s the other side of it, as the more violent pack enforcer. That’s fun to play, too.
For people who aren’t familiar with the book, what can you say about your character and how he fits into the story you’re telling?
HOLT: Clay is the pack enforcer. He was found at a very young age by Jeremy Danvers, our pack Alpha. He brought Clay under his wing and domesticated him because he was running feral in the woods. He turned him into the man he is today, on the show. Clay falls in love with Elena when he’s lecturing at the U of T. She doesn’t know he’s a werewolf, and he bites her, turning her into the only female werewolf.
Because the story of the first season seems to be following the story in the book, did you decide to read the book prior to doing the show?
HOLT: When I found out that I was screen testing, I bought the book and read it. I remember when I was reading it, I thought, “I really hope we honor this and stay true to it.” I haven’t read the other books yet, but I was really just hoping, as the scripts came along, that we’d stay true to it. It’s a great story and a great book, and we did. For the first season, we’re sticking pretty close to the book. Fans of the book will definitely be pleased with that.
Were there things you wanted to do different with your physicality because of the animal side of this character?
HOLT: Yeah. There are little things we do. For instance, like with wolves, if you stare someone down for too long, it’s an intimidation process. We played with the eyes a lot. When Clay gets berated by Jeremy, there’s a lot of looking away and not staring at him directly. And then, when I found out that I was going to screen test, I went on a little hike by myself, up in the woods by Vancouver, and I left the trail and left my clothes, and just ran around the forest completely naked for about an hour. It actually helped, though. I felt like I had found something. I was howling and yelling and running around. On my Twitter page, there’s a picture of it. I set up my camera and took a selfie.
This is clearly a very physical show. Was there much training involved to prepare for this?
HOLT: As far as just being in shape and having a nice physique, I still to cross-fit, and I’ve always done that. And then, for the show, I’ve done a bit of fight choreography, in the past. I don’t have any martial arts experience, but we have a great stunt coordinator, who is patient. We sometimes had eight or nine hour stunt rehearsals for fight sequences. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. It was definitely a learning experience. I got better and better, as we went along.
How deeply will this season get into Clay’s background and history, and the early relationship between Clay and Elena?
HOLT: We do have some flashback sequences. In Episode 5, you’ll see how we met and fell in love. We delve into that, for sure.
How do you view the relationship between Clay and Elena? Do you think he has any guilt for biting her, or is he more torn up over the fact that she won’t forgive him?
HOLT: Clay had his reasons for biting her, but that would be a spoiler. Obviously, there’s some guilt there because it’s a pretty horrific experience, going through the change and bringing on that new life, as a werewolf. But, he needed to do it.
Do they get on the same page, at all, this season, or is their relationship more of an ongoing evolution?
HOLT: It evolves over the season, for sure. There’s definitely a huge arc there. They started the season off completely separated, with her trying to live a normal life in Toronto and Clay back at Stonehaven. As the season goes on, there’s more contact and their relationship evolves.
What did you think, the first time you saw what your wolf would look like?
HOLT: I was stoked! The first thing I saw was a picture, but finally seeing the 3D rendering, I was really impressed. It’s such a hard thing to do fur in the effects, but I was really pleased with it. We didn’t have much time or money, so I’m happy.
Is there any way to have it not be awkward, when you’re doing scene opposite nothing?
HOLT: It’s the worst. It sucks! You really are faking it ‘cause you’re either looking at a green tennis ball, or you just completely have to make up fake eye lines. I’ve had a few scenes like that, but not on a ton. It sucks, but you’ve gotta do it. It’s part of the job. I had this one scene with two mutts in wolf form and I’m in human form, and one of them was coming at me. I had to pretend it was coming at me, and then another one attacks it. And then, I had to throw a garbage can a wolf that wasn’t there. It looked ridiculous. I was just throwing this garbage can at air, basically.
When they’re in human form, these werewolves can listen in on conversations, from a distance, and hear what people are saying. Do you think that would be a positive or a negative, if you could do that, in your own life?
HOLT: I would hate that ability, so much. It would drive me crazy! I like my silence.
With the way that things are left at the end of the first season, is there a resolution, or are things left open for a Season 2?
HOLT: There’s a really good cliffhanger, at the end of the season. You feel like there’s some resolution, but it ramps right back up again. I’m excited to see where we go in the second season.

Laura Vandervoort habla sobre el por qué es la única mujer lobo como personaje principal en la cultura pop ahora mismo
Por Sydney Bucksbaum 14 de Febrero, 2014 10:00 AM ET
In a world filled to the brim with sci-fi shows about vampires, werewolves and witches, it can be hard for a new show about a pack of werewolves to stand out. But Syfy's new series "Bitten" has one important factor that makes it necessary viewing in today's TV landscape: The main werewolf character at the center of the story is female.
Meet Elena Michaels (Laura Vandervoort), an independent, strong, smart, human woman who fell in love with her hunky college professor Clayton Danvers (Greyston Holt), unknowingly thrusting herself into the world of lycanthropes. Five episodes in, we finally learned how Elena became a werewolf herself: Clay bit her (for reasons both we and Elena still don't know or understand), thus ending their relationship but beginning her new life as the only female werewolf in the world.
Zap2it got the chance to pick Vandervoort's brain about why she is the only female werewolf main character in pop culture today (and why Elena is the only female werewolf in the world on the show), plus she revealed some juicy scoop about what's coming next for Elena and Clay, their pack, the pack alpha Jeremy Danvers (Greg Bryk), and much more.
Zap2it: You are the only lead female werewolf on TV right now, although there are some female werewolf periphery characters on other shows. Why do you think that werewolf lore is so female-averse?
Laura Vandervoort: I never thought of it that way, that I'm the only female lead werewolf in pop culture. I guess there haven't been others. I'm very proud of the show for that alone. One of our writers is a phenomenal female writer and she just gets Elena and knows how to write strong women. But honestly I don't know why it's like that. We've all grown up with the male werewolf. It's just always been a staple in that sci-fi realm. Obviously there are other female wolves on TV I'm sure, but perhaps it's hard for audiences to accept a female playing this strong and dominant werewolf. I don't know why it hasn't come up until now but I'm glad that things are changing and that it's accepted.
Do you think the fact that "Bitten" deals with the supernatural aspect in a mature way helps the audience accept a female lead werewolf?
Our show is a very sexy show. We all agreed that not only did we want it to be a sexy show because we are werewolves and there's that inherent animalistic nature and that drive towards one other, but we also wanted it to be a really smart and well-thought-out show, to have the characters be intelligent and aware and not just one-dimensional. I think they did an incredible job with the flashbacks and everything they've put into it to show how many layers Elena has. There are so many surprises coming this season that are just so rich in her world, and things from her past come back.
Last week's episode finally revealed Elena and Clay's past, how they met, how they got together, and what broke them up: The fact that he bit her, turning her into a werewolf. Are we going to find out why he bit her?
Yes, he bit her and Elena doesn't truly find out why he bit her until the finale. But she obviously feels betrayed and has hate for him, so that's confusing. He's the first person that she ever had truly fallen in love with and it's the first family she's ever known, and then she's betrayed by him. She does escape to Toronto right after the first change and tries to survive on her own in Toronto and can't, so she heads back to the pack and stays with them for a while before she ultimately leaves again.
Are we going to see that play out in more flashbacks?
Ummmm maybe? [laughs] I think the flashbacks definitely help tie in the books and make you understand where Clay and Elena are coming from and her attitude towards him. On Twitter, a lot of the fans are saying that they enjoy the flashbacks because it's a different side than they've seen of Clay and Elena -- when they were actually in love. I think you'll probably see more.
Let's talk about that first change scene, where Elena almost dies until Jeremy sees something in her and decides to talk her through it, and she survives. That whole scene was so brutal. What was it like filming that?
It was a challenging episode and that scene in particular was a full day. It was hard. I was in that little cage. Emotionally it was draining, and physically, I was throwing myself into the cage. I loved it in that I felt very challenged but at the end of the night I was crying and was cross-eyed and had blurred vision from all the crying. But it was worth it. I feel like it's such an important detail to who Elena is and her story and her relationship with the pack alpha, how he helped her get through it.
He saved her life by talking her through the change, and as a result she became the only female to ever survive it. Will we find out what changed his mind to help her?
You'll find out later on in the season why he helped her, what he saw in her to want to help her through it because usually with women there's no point in even trying. But he talked her through it almost like she was giving birth. He was there to talk her through the change and the agony, and then it was like this new life was born when the wolf shakes itself out at the very end.
At the end of the episode, Elena left Stonehaven and the pack again to go back to her human life in Toronto. What's coming next for her? What could possibly bring her back to Stonehaven after she asked Jeremy to let her leave?
I think she's always going to be drawn back to Stonehaven because of Clay but mostly because of Jeremy. He's her father for all intents and purposes, and she has to do what he says just in terms of the wolf nature. I have to listen to what he wants. If he calls me back, if he needs help, if we've lost a pack member or someone's hurt, as much as she hates it she'll always go back to him. I think there's always an opportunity for her to return to Stonehaven.
But right now, she seems intent on living a human life. Is her werewolf secret in danger of being exposed to her human friends and human boyfriend?
I think so, it's always in danger. It's just getting closer and closer to the possibility. I don't think she's ever been safe and now that the mutts are invading her life in Toronto and trying to expose her and use it against her, she's definitely in trouble. I think she's starting to panic a little bit. She's going to have to make some decisions about which life she can truly lead, especially with Santos showing up [in Toronto].
What can you reveal about the ex-con child molester Victor Olson and his connection to Elena that was teased in the last episode?
I don't think I can say too much about that. But what you heard and what you saw is what you can expect. We know who Victor Olson is and what he's done. And he clearly knows Elena. So people can put that together. You'll find out in the next couple of episodes.
We're just about at the halfway point of Season 1. What are you most excited for fans to see play out as we get closer to the finale?
Basically the relationship between Clay and Elena. That's what people seem to be very interested in, their history and seeing them together and understanding what tore them apart. Our finale deals with that a lot and we all worked so hard on it, so I'm excited for that episode in particular, on top of episode 5. It has so much heart and I'm just excited for people who maybe tuned in at the beginning and weren't sure if the show was for them, and they've kept watching it and have been getting really surprised by every episode. I want people to stick around for the heart of the show and the characters and the skeletons in their closets and their relationships. There's a lot coming up. Stay tuned.
Should we assume that the finale will end on some kind cliffhanger?
Hmmm. Maybe? [laughs] It should. I don't want to say!

He was there to talk her through the change and the agony, and then it was like this new life was born when the wolf shakes itself out at the very end.
At the end of the episode, Elena left Stonehaven and the pack again to go back to her human life in Toronto. What's coming next for her? What could possibly bring her back to Stonehaven after she asked Jeremy to let her leave?
I think she's always going to be drawn back to Stonehaven because of Clay but mostly because of Jeremy. He's her father for all intents and purposes, and she has to do what he says just in terms of the wolf nature. I have to listen to what he wants. If he calls me back, if he needs help, if we've lost a pack member or someone's hurt, as much as she hates it she'll always go back to him. I think there's always an opportunity for her to return to Stonehaven.
But right now, she seems intent on living a human life. Is her werewolf secret in danger of being exposed to her human friends and human boyfriend?
I think so, it's always in danger. It's just getting closer and closer to the possibility. I don't think she's ever been safe and now that the mutts are invading her life in Toronto and trying to expose her and use it against her, she's definitely in trouble. I think she's starting to panic a little bit. She's going to have to make some decisions about which life she can truly lead, especially with Santos showing up [in Toronto].
What can you reveal about the ex-con child molester Victor Olson and his connection to Elena that was teased in the last episode?
I don't think I can say too much about that. But what you heard and what you saw is what you can expect. We know who Victor Olson is and what he's done. And he clearly knows Elena. So people can put that together. You'll find out in the next couple of episodes.
We're just about at the halfway point of Season 1. What are you most excited for fans to see play out as we get closer to the finale?
Basically the relationship between Clay and Elena. That's what people seem to be very interested in, their history and seeing them together and understanding what tore them apart. Our finale deals with that a lot and we all worked so hard on it, so I'm excited for that episode in particular, on top of episode 5. It has so much heart and I'm just excited for people who maybe tuned in at the beginning and weren't sure if the show was for them, and they've kept watching it and have been getting really surprised by every episode. I want people to stick around for the heart of the show and the characters and the skeletons in their closets and their relationships. There's a lot coming up. Stay tuned.
Should we assume that the finale will end on some kind cliffhanger?
Hmmm. Maybe? [laughs] It should. I don't want to say!

Laura Vandervoort le hinca los dientes a su jugoso papel en 'Bitten'

PASADENA, Calif. — Ever since she was a girl, actress Laura Vandervoort has chased perfection.
Although she wishes she could escape that pursuit, she understands how perfection has shaped her life.
It led her to triumph in martial arts, earning a second-degree black belt; and it propelled her into the acting field.
Both skills brought her to the starring role on Bitten, the Syfy version of the werewolf legend.
“I’m the hardest on myself,” the 29-year-old said.
“No one’s as hard on me as I am. And I get nervous or stressed out or anxious before a scene or before stunts. This time, I just told myself to suck it up and go to work.
“Once you get through it and you realize not only did you get through it, but the producers and the writers and directors are all thrilled, that’s a great feeling.”
Vandervoort started studying karate at age 6. She persuaded her parents to let her try acting after she saw My Girl on television.
“It was the first movie that affected me, and I was crying as a kid. And I never experienced that watching a program on TV. I think that’s the moment I asked my parents if I could try acting, because the young girl in the movie was making me feel that way, and I thought, ‘I want to do that.’ ”
Vandervoort was one of those rare child performers who managed to move easily into adult roles.
As a child, her schoolmates used to tease her about acting.
“They called me ‘Goose Bumps’ in school. I wouldn’t let it bother me; I was such a loner anyway,’ she said, shrugging.
“I went to the dojo and went to school and got straight A’s, so I wasn’t really ever the partying person. And I didn’t care what people thought and didn’t care about style and being like everybody else.”
Her parents, who work together in her father’s insurance company, always supported her.
Born and raised in Canada, Vandervoort was reluctant to move to Los Angeles, where much acting work originates. Six years ago, however, when a relationship went sour, she decided to make a change.
Although most in the entertainment industry saw her as a child actress from roles in shows such as Are You Afraid of the Dark, Goosebumps and Disney projects, she erased that stereotype when she was cast as Supergirl in Smallville.
“Multiple times I wanted to quit,” she said. “I think that happens to all of us in the industry. There are ebbs and flows in the industry, and also transitioning from child actor into an adult actor was a challenge.
“And there were periods when you’d go without work for a year and you start to question what you’re doing. ‘Why am I here? I move mountains to try to do this.’ ”
She was on the verge of quitting when her agent phoned to coax her to audition for Smallville on tape.
“I said, ‘Yes, it’s going to be the last one.’ So I put myself on tape, and then a week later they wanted me to fly out and test for it — and then I had the job. And since Smallville, it’s been go.”
