Check out our new exclusive interview with Max Thieriot from one of our favorite shows Bates Motel!

The 25-year-old actor plays Dylan Bates, a man working in a drug operations, who is also the son of Norma (Vera Farmiga) and older brother of Norman (Freddie Highmore).

Max recently chatted on the phone with JustJared.com about his character in the second season of the show, going shirtless for the show, what he loves about racing cars, and what he last downloaded for music.

“There’s actually another scene that will come up where I have my shirt off. I just kind of started preparing for that, but, to be honest, I was actually a little disappointed because I wasn’t supposed to be shirtless that day. I just kind of started my diet. I started cutting down a little bit. I was a little disappointed that day because I just ate a giant breakfast and hadn’t worked out and done all these things and then they say ‘you’re going to take a shirt off in the scene.’ I was like, ‘no, really?’” Max shared about his shirtless scene.
