Playing popular lad Leon wasn't too much of a stretch for Jamie Davis who befriended both the cast and crew throughout Hex. He lets us in on the on-set stories.

What were your first impressions when you first read the Hex script?

My first impression was that it was really different and I think one of the things I want to do most in my work is well written pieces which have strong characters in them, and that's what Hex was full of all the way. Every character has individuality and the two stories were strong as were the supernatural and the adolescence exclusivity, so I think that alone made it stand out to me so I was really pleased when I first read it.

Tell us about your character, what's his name?

I play Leon, he's part of the popular crowd at the college, he's about seventeen so he's at that age where everything he does is very conscious, the way he dresses, he moves, the way he speaks to the people. He is always conscious of trying to be the cool one, or the funny one, or the dangerous one. Everything he says is really considered, so he doesn't seem genuine because of that, which is probably why he's not as liked as Troy or Gemma or someone like that.

As Hex is a high concept show did you have to approach it differently as an actor or a different acting style to the show?

It wasn't simply a case of going in, reading the lines and that's it. I think with something that isn't written so well it doesn't matter, but with Hex because of how carefully written it was, each line was specifically for each character and you can tell that, so you had to look at the detail of it as much as people who designed and producers of the show had done.

So just talk through how you get along with the rest of the gang and did you get along with them as actors?

I know it sounds terrible and everybody says it but of all the jobs I've done this is where I've got on with everybody and it was just one of those really special jobs that don't come along very often. The work is so much easier because of that and also the process of being involved in something for three or four times, everyone else was seen at least that many times as well, so they took a long time putting things together, so its no surprise that it did work. I really enjoyed working with everybody on the show.
