He started out with an edge and agenda and found himself searching for his pair that BrookeDavis and the writers took, but is Julian getting roughed up again?
This past episode not only had the quirky lovable Julian that has been seen for the past two seasons, but revealed some cracks to him as well.
Julian distracted by the potential of clients coming to rent out his soundstage forgets his son Davis, who he is supposed to take to daycare, is in the car as he gets runs errands before the meeting, a story that is taken from the headlines.It looks like Austin was pushing for Julian to get a little less puppy and a little more real.
Speaking to Zap2It, Austin told them "that after several seasons of playing the harmless, doting, occasionally coddled Julian, he was excited to explore a crack in Julian's foundation."
"This year, there's a major flaw, or, not so much a flaw as an accident. It could happen with any parent. Julian really puts a lot of blame on himself for this thing that happens. As an actor it's been great. I've really gotten to go to a different place that I haven't gone to before on this show. I'm always pushing and begging [executive producer Mark Schwahn] for stuff like this, just trying to keep exploring. I want him to challenge me, and hopefully I can challenge him in some way, and I think that makes the best artwork."Could it not just for the artwork, but maybe creating distance away from the concept Brulian image, and setting the seeds for a No Sophin future?
Just one question, did they have to make Julian in a liquor store buying a bottle of scotch? Forgetting the baby is bad enough, did they have to add that kicker?
