In just one season, Austin Nichols’ Julian had quite the evolution on One cây Hill. When he first showed up, những người hâm mộ worried he’d play homewrecker to Leyton’s finally-back-on relationship. Instead we ended up with perhaps the most dedicated boyfriend Sophia Bush’s Brooke has ever seen and a new leading man for the show’s seventh season.

TeenDramaWhore: What was your reaction when bạn found out bạn were being promoted to a series regular?

Austin Nichols: Fear. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t want to do it. The thing about a ti vi series is that bạn have to have faith that the material is going to be good. Because all bạn know is episode 1. bạn have no idea what episode 2-22 will contain. But after many conversations with my captain Mark Schwahn, I felt better about signing up.

TDW: Why do bạn think the audience has taken such a liking to Brooke and Julian?

Nichols: Because when we look at each other, volcanoes erupt, the earth quakes, and glitter falls from the sky.

Nichols: Children!!! Absolutely. I want a litter. A whole team of little Brookes and Julians. Twins. Black ones. White ones. Brown and yellow too. Remember the show, JUST THE TEN OF US? We are going to remake that hiển thị with Brooke and Julian and their 8 kids.

TDW: Is there any storyline you’d like to see Julian face?

TDW: With the return of Julian’s dad [Episode 7.02, What Are bạn Willing To Lose], will we learn thêm about Julian’s past?

Nichols: Well, absolutely. The most brilliant thing they could do when nghề viết văn the third INDIANA JONES: The Last Crusade, was introduce Indy’s father. That glimpse into Indy’s past and to see how his behavior changes around his dad is revelatory. A guy who could have any woman, any artifact, and defeat any foe, becomes a little boy in the presence of Sean Connery. Families with checkered pasts tend to spend the present repairing that damage.

TDW: What’s one thing that’s easy about working on a hiển thị like OTH and one thing that’s difficult?

Nichols: Easy: no traffic here. Hard: living without In-N-Out Burger.

TDW: Tell me thêm about your character, lincoln Booth. What attracted bạn to the role?

Nichols: I can’t really say anything about my character except that something deep inside me started to rumble when I read him. This is either a really good sign hoặc a disaster. We shall see!!!! :)

TDW: bạn have a creative nghề viết văn degree and were an avid water-skier growing up. Are these two things still a part of your life?

Nichols: I am constantly writing. Some ideas soar. And others crash. Right now, it’s a story of a young woman who finds herself pregnant with no money and no one to depend on. She moves out to the desert to start over. I occasionally jump on some skis and do a few flips. Don’t want to forget how. But my mom [Kay Nichols] just won her 15th national title, after beating cancer a few years back.

TDW: bạn also have a big interest in film. What’s one mainstream movie and one lesser-known movie you’ve seen recently?

Humpday was very interesting. Anvil! The Story Of Anvil is a brilliant rock doc. I enjoyed many parts of Inglourius Basterds. Christopher Waltz should have statues built in tribute to his performance.

TDW: Have bạn thought about getting an official Twitter account?

Nichols: Twitter? What’s twitter? Sounds like a term for a titty twister
