<H4><B>CHARACTER | Monroe, a Blutbad
<H4><B>BEASTLY BREAKOUT | "Pilot," Season 1</b></H4><P>
The first time Mitchell had to change from a meat-shunning clock enthusiast to a bloodthirsty wolf creature is imprinted in his mind, the actor says, "Because I was like, 'All right. We're shooting a pilot about people who are inside these people… and now things are just coming out? And I don't know what I'm doing.' It was very scary, just rolling with it." After positive -- though not entirely enlightening – feedback from those watching, Mitchell decided his wogue would look "something like a shifting. That's what it became. These things, you're just like, 'I think that is what it is.' And then they take, and they work."
You never forget your first time– especially if make-believe fur, claws and fangs are involved.
And that's why the cast members of NBC's Grimmhad no trouble remembering what it felt like when they first morphed — or to use the show's terminology, "wogue'd" — into the fairytale-creature versions of their characters. (Wait, what did you think we were talking about?)
