....His Hair and Beard....


I've just started watching H.O.Ws,and am loving it, am only 4 episodes in mind,(I know was I sleeping under a rock, how could I miss this!!) as you are all so knowledgeable about the gorgeous Anson/Cullen..may I ask, is his beard his own, as in he has grown it and it's not a fake beard put on for the show? Thanks..x

Did you come up with the look of your character before the show began?
I didn’t have this look at the time I was cast, but I was very clear with the creators and the makeup department that I didn’t want them to make me look pretty. I wanted to grow out the beard, and I wanted to be dirty.

Do you feel more comfortable with Cullen's look, or when you’re clean-shaven in a movie like Safe? I didn’t recognize you!
Thank you—that’s a big compliment. I try not to think too much about how to present myself. Whatever the next job is, I go in and let them do whatever they feel they need to do to me. I haven’t paid for a haircut in four years.
