Jon Fletcher Interview - Faith and the Supernatural Collide

What was your first reaction when you heard about the show?

[The CW] does great stuff but it’s exciting when people take a risk and do something different. Joshua was just so unlike any other character on television. You don’t often see those kinds of characters so it was very exciting to get the opportunity to just audition. I was over the moon.

You play a pastor on the show. How did your prepare for the role?

I wouldn’t say I based him off any one particularly but I did watch hours and hours of footage online (thank you Internet!) and I just became fascinated by these guys and the different things they would do and the similarities they had. I watched people like Joel Osteen, Judah Smith, Billy Graham and this guy in New York, Carl Lentz who wears a leather jacket and has a shaved head … stuff like that was very interesting to me, how these preachers would find ways to relate. Carl looks like some guy you would just see in the street in New York. But the thing that I found they all had, the kind of common thread, was their passion. They’re so passionate. It was just really inspiring watching these guys. There were a couple times when I got emotional. They’re just very inspiring people. They have quite the burden and that’s what was interesting about Joshua; he is one of those guys and then suddenly, his whole belief system comes crashing down. That was exciting to play, such a life-shattering moment for this character.

Interview with Diogo Morgado



10 Icebreakers with Diogo Morgado

1. You speak English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. If you could only speak one language—aside from your native Portuguese—for the rest of your life, which one would it be? "Definitely English. Although it’s not my second language because I didn’t grow up with it. The more I stay here, I feel more comfortable in your language. It’s a language that becomes easier and easier to me, and it’s really nice to hear. I love the New York accent because it’s fast and crisp."

2. If you worked at the White House and were in charge of decorating, celebrating, and cooking for one of the major U.S. holidays, which would it be of the following: a) Thanksgiving b) Valentine’s Day or 3) the 4th of July? "Definitely Thanksgiving because it’s a new concept for me, and we don’t have that in Portugal. When I was introduced to the concept of Thanksgiving, I thought, 'That’s what we should be all the time—thankful.' I have cooked a turkey before, but it takes patience!"

10 fun facts about Anna Diop

1. I was born in one of the most beautiful paces on Earth; a very small country on the west coast of Africa called Senegal, right on the Atlantic.
2. I’ve been studying Muay Thai for the past two years. Muay Thai is a really cool combat sport similar to Kickboxing or Tae Kwon Do.
3. My little brother Kareem is the funniest person on Earth to me. He’s on Vine as REEMTEAM and every time he makes a video, my phone sends me notification and it never fails to make me crack up.
4. I love Tennis! I played Varsity in high school for 3 years.
