I hadn't read all of those, but I've never know anyone who doesn't really love Jason.

Alex just did an interview with Moonlight-Detective and spoke very highly of Jason. I can't find the link right now, but it was sweet.

That was an awesome read of the interviews, Mandy! Thanks for posting

Mandy-J · 02-17-2008, 07:29 AM

No prob Jen

Thanks for the link Angela! going to read right now!

Some more quotes, from Twop this time. Interview with Rob Thomas.

Quote:

CB: [laughs] Speaking of the characters, let's talk about the casting for a minute. It's fairly well known, I think, that Jason Dohring originally auditioned for the role of Duncan. Am I right that Logan wasn't even supposed to be a main character?

RT: Actually, he was supposed to be a main character, but probably not with quite as big a role as he ended up with. But we love writing for him, because he's so dynamic. We cast Kristin first, so she read with all the male auditioners. We were down to three guys for the part of Logan, and after the first one read, we asked Kristen what she thought. She said she just didn't think he was intense enough. Knowing Jason was up next, I said, "Wait 'til the next guy."

CB: Well, yeah. There's a lot going on there.

RT: And Jason could have played Duncan. But the thing is, UPN's just like any other network in that they want pretty people. And Jason's a handsome guy, but when the network is looking for the romantic lead, the only headshots they want to see are male-model types. I think it worked out better this way.

CB: Well, he was so hated after the first couple of episodes. And it's partly the writing, but it's partly his acting ability -- I mean, his popularity rivals [Kristen's], and that's not easy to accomplish.

RT: We feel that way in the writer's room too.

The quote from the Alex interview. His last word is very funny (and will definitely be ** here

)

Quote:

ML-D: We also talked with Jason Dohring.
AOL: Ah, lovely Jason!

ML-D: Yes, and he has so many nice things to say about you. I think you’re his hero.
AOL: He’s such a great guy, he’s just, I feel really blessed working with these people, you know. Like, his family threw this Christmas party the likes I’ve never seen, and its just genuine, you know. They’re just genuinely wonderful people, and it’s such a pleasure to ah…when I see him on set, it’s like, YES! YES! And that’s rare, you know what I mean, it’s rare, rare, rare, rare. Especially in this industry, I mean, there’s so many ****heads!

Awesome! And I agree completely

Kristen about Jason in an interview with Neptunesite

Quote:

And the boys - - we're really lucky to have such a good group of people, 'cause they're all fun. I mean, Percy is hysterical, and Teddy's the same way. Teddy is so sweet, and Jason - - I love watching Jason act, because he's so - - he's such a good actor, and there's so much coming up for him in the series, and I've really as an actor learned a lot from him, 'cause I've just been able to watch and he's so intense. And Francis is awesome and hysterical. I think we're lucky, 'cause there's not a bad egg."

JulieB · 02-17-2008, 12:04 PM

Thanks for bringing all those quotes over Mandy. I read about the poker shoot once and always wanted to see outtakes from that scene. I read once where Francis said all of them were goofing off once and sticking their bellies out, etc LOL

I really love all the stuff from AOL too. He seems like a sweetheart and and love the fact that him and Jason get along so well.

**afrocurl** · 02-17-2008, 12:15 PM

I love that quote from Alex so much. It's the cutest thing ever.

siobeehan · 02-17-2008, 04:26 PM

Thanks for all these interviews Mandy and Angela! That one with Alex is so sweet - especially the fact that when he sees Jason on the set, he's apparently like "YES! YES!"

Love it.

I remember reading those interviews from Teddy and everyone when I first started watching VM, and being surprised that they were saying Jason was the most serious member of the cast, and how intense he was. I never thought he'd be so different from Logan at the time!

I love the fact that Ryan said Kristen and Jason both made everyone feel at ease on set, and of course the quote from Kristen is love

And also..

Quote:

We were down to three guys for the part of Logan, and after the first one read, we asked Kristen what she thought. She said she just didn't think he was intense enough. Knowing Jason was up next, I said, "Wait 'til the next guy."

Hee!

**afrocurl** · 02-18-2008, 01:26 PM

That quote is really sweet Siobhan.

Mandy-J · 02-19-2008, 02:31 AM

Yes, Jason can be awesomely intens (and scary intense lol).

JulieB · 02-19-2008, 06:01 AM

He really is. It's pretty awesome.

**afrocurl** · 02-19-2008, 06:26 PM

He is pretty awesome. It's nice to know that the awesome translates to everyone else that he sees.

Mandy-J · 02-20-2008, 03:25 AM

It's impossible to not think Jason is awesome!

ETA from Jason-dohring.com:

Quote:

- "I think Josef will be really fun. Don't you think that that Jason kid looks like a young Mickey Rourke?[...]There's something very sexy about Jason, but he's young and doesn't know it, which is even sexier." (Shannyn Sossamon, IGN.com)

And another one from AOL:

Quote:

"Jason is just, like, the most other-centered person that you know. He’s always thinking about other people, he’s always, he’s so generous with his time. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat." (Alex O'Loughlin, Moonlight-Detective.com)

So true!

**afrocurl** · 02-20-2008, 10:09 PM

Aww...more Jason love!

Thanks for bringing those over, Mandy.

JulieB · 02-21-2008, 12:28 PM

I love the stuff from the ML cast. Especially AOL and you can just tell that it's really so sincere.
