This article appeared in Issue 28 of Wonderland: Nov\/Dec 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was screaming a lot yesterday so I might not have the most amazing interview voice,\u201d says a rather husky sounding Tyler Posey, lead star of MTV\u2019s surprise hit show, Teen Wolf. Having taken the 80s film classic and reinvented it as a weekly platform for today\u2019s Twi-hard viewing public, the show surpassed expectations when it debuted earlier this year. In fact it was so popular that a second season was commissioned before the first had even wrapped.<\/p>\n

However, it is not howling at the moon that has over exerted the 20-year-old actors lungs but the thrill ride of rollercoasters at the Universal Studios amusement park. \u201cI was bored and went with a couple of friends and had a lot of fun,\u201d he explains, \u201cthe first thing we did when we got there was go into a pretty scary haunted house which takes 20 minutes to walk through. At the very end we got separated from one of our friends and got freaked out because we didn\u2019t know where he was,\u201d he continues, sounding panicked by the memory. But surely it must take a lot to startle a young man working on a supernatural show like Teen Wolf? \u201cIt\u2019s all lies!\u201d he laughs. \u201cI am scared of everything. There were werewolves inside the maze and I thought I could have something in common with them but they still tried to eat me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having survived the ordeal, Posey is finding ways of keeping busy during the show\u2019s summer hiatus before the filming of season two begins in the latter half of November. Whilst a real life werewolf might struggle to cope with spontaneously emerging fur, Posey has recently opted to experiment with his own body hair by growing his first ever moustache. \u201cI\u2019ve been able to grow one ever since I was a young teenager but this time I tried to grow one for real,\u201d he explains. However, the end result was not as dashing as he might have anticipated, with online commenters swiftly noting his resemblance to Mandy Patinkin\u2019s Inigo Montoya in Rob Reiner\u2019s 1987 classic, The Princess Bride. \u201cIt looked really bad,\u201d he concedes with a laugh, \u201cbut I was very proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having begun acting at a young age, one of Posey\u2019s earliest roles was Jennifer Lopez\u2019s son in the 2001 romantic comedy, Maid in Manhattan. Like the famous Latina, Posey is also trying to find a balance between the world of acting and the world of music, with his as-yet-unsigned band, Lost In Kostko. \u201cWe played this show on Sunday night and it was like being Justin Bieber or something,\u201d he recounts excitedly, \u201cthe curtain went up and there were screaming girls and flashes of cameras and posters saying my name \u2013 it was surreal. The part I loved the most was that they were singing our lyrics back to us and that was the first time that\u2019s ever happened. I can\u2019t even describe to you how that feels.\u201d But all those Teen Wolf fans worried he might be about to cancel his acting plans, need fear not. Lost In Kostko is only a side project, for now. \u201cIt\u2019s a punk rock band so I don\u2019t really need to know how to sing. I can definitely act, but the singing: I\u2019m still working on.\u201d<\/p>\n
