Cheers to richard dower for the heads up.
How do you find people generally react to your character? Chris Argent started off as a villain, but now he’s basically the only one left in his family and it’s hard not to feel for him.
The first season, they hated me. They were not fans of Argent and what his plan was. But this is his job, this is what he does, and this is what his world is about. He's been balancing that with the love of his daughter and his family. To have him turn into this man who accepts that times have changed and he's got a daughter who's fallen in love with a werewolf, that's been an amazing journey for him. He's the only family member who stayed true to the code and at the same time he's adapting to life changes, which is what we do in real life.
Fans have embraced that switch. There's been an unbelievable out-pour of support and compassion for him. With the loss of his sister, then his wife, then his daughter, they felt the sorrow that Argent must be going through.
How is Kate coming back this season going to throw a wrench into Chris Argent’s life?
Wow. Well, he already is feeling so much anger, frustration, and vengeance, and what does he do with it? He questions whether or not to return to Beacon Hills, but when it becomes quite clear that she’s back to cause trouble, he finally returns in order to protect those that can’t protect themselves. He still supports the code. He's back to support the people that were there for his daughter and for him.
Whether he comes back with this idea that he’s going to get rid of her once and for all—that’s the initial driving force for him. It's somewhere for him to direct that anger and that hurt he has. But yeah, there's some great stuff that goes one between them.

What's the jaguar makeup like?
Wagner: It's a long and grueling one. But I have to say, usually it's about three and a half hours. When I wear my leather jacket, which I beg them all the time to let me wear so they don't have to do my arms, it's a little bit less time. But the makeup itself, it's usually two or three guys working on it at a time for two or three hours. I don't like to sit still for five minutes, so they have to entertain me ... The makeup though, I love walking around the set and scaring people. Hanging around at crafty -- it seems to do it every time!
He wanted it to be this black jaguar. If you look at a black jaguar, they are kind of iridescent and they have this like undertone of gold and purplish and really interesting colors. I think the guys in the FX team are amazing. They're incredible, and I give them all the props. They had a vision and here I sit!
Kate the were-jaguar has lots of sharp, pointy teeth too. What are they like to wear?
Wagner: I'm trying to get those 'S'es down. It's really hard too!
It's not just the speaking -- because you have to speak from a completely different part of your mouth -- it's the drooling! I'm like saying my lines and drool's coming out of my mouth. I've definitely got the animal-type vibe going because I'm drooling and speaking. They're awesome teeth, but they are so hard to speak in.
