You think you know the cast of Loch & Ness? You might be surprised. We join Rob Hennings, Anya Thomas and Nathan O’Donnell on the set of season 2 to discuss pranks, the etiquette of trailer naps and catch all the behind-the-scenes gossip with our favourite paranormal detectives.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, we just got to watch an early cut of episode 1.

ROB HENNINGS: Doesn’t it look good? Everyone’s killing it this season.

NATHAN O’DONNELL: I’m so hyped, man. Did you see the scene where [redacted]?

RH: DUDE. You can’t say that!

NO’D: Oh. Right.

RH: I can’t believe you gave a spoiler in the first five seconds.

NO’D: ****.

EW: It’s fine. We’ll cut it out.

NO’D: Oh, good. Can you change everything I say to make me sound really cool, too?

EW: We’ll do our best.

RH: Don’t worry man, even when you’re talking nonsense, the English accent makes you sound super classy.

NO’D: This is a text interview, isn’t it?

RH: Dang. Guess you’re all out of luck.

EW: Now, I wanted to ask about the action scenes. It’s really amped up this season. Do you do your own stunts?

NO’D: I come from a background of action films, so I’ve been doing my own stunts for years. I’m very comfortable with it. Rob here, though . . .

RH: Oh, I admit I’m a massive wuss.

EW: You don’t like stunts?

RH: I can’t think of anything I would like to do less.

NO’D: And that’s even when I’m going easy on him.

RH: Easy?! I think I’ve still got a bruise on my thigh from last week!

NO’D: No comment.

EW: So Jayden and Fang don’t make up any time soon?

RH: They’re very much still in the ‘arch-enemies’ stage of their relationship, yeah. Though I haven’t seen the scripts for the last few episodes, so there might still be a surprise alliance-slash-wedding there, who knows.

EW: Would you like to see Fang working with the detectives in the future?

NO’D: I do love playing the villain. But I think there’s a lot of potential for humour if Fang joined the team for real. He’s a very funny character, when he wants to be.

RH: There would be a lot of banter.

EW: What about behind the scenes? Does the rivalry carry on there?

NO’D: No, we’re all buddies on set. We’re a squad. Rob is definitely a bit of a set joker, pulling pranks on people, but that’s too much work for me. I just try to kick back and relax when I can between takes.

RH: Catch a nap. We’re always napping, it’s terrible.

NO’D: It’s the night shoots. They’re a killer. I’m getting too old for them these days, whereas Rob could stay up all night if he wanted, typing away on his laptop between takes.

RH: I can’t help it! I grew up online, I have an internet addiction.

EW: Are you all on Twitter a lot?

RH: I’m tweeting as we speak.

NO’D: I don’t really use it. Twitter is a bit fast paced for me. But Rob is. He’s always online. I have no idea what he’s doing most of the time.

EW: Really? What kind of stuff are you usually doing, Rob?

RH: Oh, you know. Just this and that. I did law at UCLA, so I try to keep up to date on big trials and legislative changes. I’ve got to keep my hand in the game — you never know when you’ll get your last acting job!

NO’D: I’d let him represent me in court. He really knows his stuff.

EW: You were just named Glamour Magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year 2018. I don’t think you’re in danger of being forgotten just yet.

RH: Oh, well. You know. I’m just here to have a good time. And Anya’s right — we’re all betting on Nathan stealing away my title next year.

NO’D: You’re going to make me blush.

EW: Well, we’ll let you get back to work. Thanks for chatting with us, guys!
