I updated the gallery with a few more photos, check them out!

“I feel that art is gray – there is no black and white or right and wrong”, said American actress Crystal Reed, who stars as Allison Argent in MTV’s new supernatural drama “Teen Wolf.”

In a recent phone interview, Reed expounded on pursuing an artistic path after quitting her studies at Detroit’s Wayne State University. “I auditioned for the prestigious BFA conservatory program”, she said. “They were very strict about the methods of acting, very particular about how we do things and I started questioning whether or not it was the right place for me, and whether or not [one] truly needed a degree to be an artist.”

Reed moved to Chicago, where she pursued theater and improved opportunities, and eventually landed roles in “CSI” and “The Hard Times of RJ Berger.” She appeared last year in the sci-fi flick, “Skyline,” and will be seen in the coming comedy, “Crazy, Stupid Love.”

She describes the re-imagined “Teen Wolf,” loosely based on the 1985 film that starred Michael J. Fox, as “a thrill ride.”

How is the new “Teen Wolf” different from the original film?

I did watch the original before I knew I was even part of the new show. I love it! I think it’s great. But I think the major difference is that our show is really scary, and the original was quite funny. In the original, when Scott turns into a werewolf, everybody claps for him on the basketball court. But in our show, Scott (Tyler Posey) is hiding the fact that he’s a werewolf. Also, the center of our show is Allison and Scott’s relationship, and everything really revolves around that.

Were you a monster/horror genre fan before this?

I’m a huge fan! My favorite scary movie is “Rosemary’s Baby.” I think Mia Farrow is incredible. I watch it over and over. But growing up, I would always watch “Tales From the Crypt.” I was never allowed to, but I would watch that, and “Child’s Play.”

How is “Teen Wolf” different from shows with werewolves like “True Blood” and “Vampire Diaries”?

I think “Teen Wolf” is in a category of its own. I’m a huge “True Blood” fan and I think it’s incredible. Alan Ball is a genius, the acting is phenomenal and the show has nudity. If we were to compare, I think the biggest difference is that “Teen Wolf” is funny and it still feels like it’s original. Jeff Davis, the creator, really wrote the characters in a way that they seem authentic, especially the relationships, the friendships. You just believe them. It feels like these kids are really going through these things. It’s funny, scary and sexy, and those things set it apart from those shows.

Why do you think werewolves are popular nowadays?

I think it’s popular because the idea that something so bad could possibly have a good side to it – you don’t really know what you’re getting yourself into. People want to explore stuff like that!

So here’s a new video with Crystal Reed and Tyler Posey in Argentina. There’s pretty much noise in the video, so listen carefully.

I’ve added below some photos taken in Argentina, at a Teen Wolf meeting. I’d like to thank Tyler-Posey.com for the photos.

There’s a new video with Crystal Reed and Tyler Posey in Brazil. How can they be so funny together? I just love their personality. So anyways, you can watch the video down below.

Crystal Reed and Tyler Posey have been interviewed in São Paulo. There’s an online interview, which sadly it’s not in English. I tried using Google Translate, but of course that it’s not translating well. Anyways, I added some photos of Crystal from this interview and some photos taken by the fans, in Brazil. And here are some video interviews, too.

I updated a buch of albums and I added new photos to the gallery. We have now a beautiful Jon Cottam photoshoot in which Crystal looks amazing! Make sure to check them out!

“I like the [‘Twilight’] franchise and I think it’s wildly successful. If we could have a fraction of that success I’d be really happy,” she told Bulletin Entertainment in a recent phone interview.

It seems, though, that the similarities only lie on the surface, as Reed attested to what sets “Teen Wolf” apart from what may well be one of biggest worldwide phenomenon today.

“We’re really much different than ‘Twilight’ because we do have a comedic element. So I don’t feel any pressure to be anything other than what we are, which I think is really great,” she said.

“Teen Wolf” the series apparently does not only deviate from “Twilight” or other “vampire-werewolf” TV shows such as “Vampire Diaries” and “True Blood,” but even in the very material from which it is based—the 80s film “Teen Wolf” that starred Michael J. Fox.

“It wasn’t nearly as dark as our remake. Our show is really scary and it’s got a lot of blood and people die and there’s a bunch of horror. It’s also really sexy and racy,” Reed related.

The new TV series, as Reed described, is a “coming-of-age story about teenage transformation.” It centers on Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), an ordinary high school student whose life is completely changed after he got bitten by a werewolf.

As he struggles to discover who he really is and what he has become, he gets smitten with the new girl in school, Allison Argent (Reed). The catch? She comes from a family of hunters.

“She finds that out and she just has to choose between the love of her life and her family,” Crystal said about her character.

In spite of the supernatural element in “Teen Wolf,” Reed said it comes from a universal truth that makes it fairly accessible to viewers.

“It’s about the struggles with growing up and not knowing who you are; not feeling like you belong and trying to hide who you are.  I think that’s especially present in my character because she’s gone from school to school to school and she’s an outsider. And also with Scott, he’s turning into a werewolf and he can’t tell anybody. He’s hiding it from his family and his girlfriend.

“And that’s true for the young teenage girls who are struggling with their body image, or a boy who’s homosexual and can’t tell anybody about it,” she related.

Even the werewolf look of the characters in “Teen Wolf” was given a more human touch, Reed added.

“They have more human characteristics and they don’t completely change a hundred percent into wolf. And it’s just make-up and prosthetic and none of it is CGI, which I think is really cool,” she said.

The resulting look, in turn, “makes them a little sexier than any other wolf on TV,” Reed quipped.

In playing Allison, Reed admitted it was “physically challenging” and “draining” as they shot in the “freezing cold” state of Atlanta.

“We’re filming 14 hours a day, five days a week,” she said.

Nevertheless, Reed said, “I would do it all over again because I love it so much.”

Being cast in “Teen Wolf” also allowed Reed to do her own stunts and study archery—which is an integral part of her character Allison.

“It was actually a lot of fun for me. They set up archery lessons for me in Atlanta and I learned about the form and the different types of bows. I got to do all that stuff myself on set.

“I had a stunt double but majority of the stunts, I did by myself. And that was a lot of fun, too, for me because as an actor it’s really much more gratifying when I get to do my own physical work,” said Reed.

If she would be given a superpower, Reed said she’ll take “a werewolf’s sense of hearing.”

“They have a heightened sense of hearing so they can hear people around them and people far away talking. I think it’d be really cool just to hear different conversations in different worlds,” she said.

But given her own power—as an artist, that is—Reed, a Detroit, Michigan native, aims to inspire other people, a dream that took form when she was 10 years old.

“I really love to be able to take people on a journey. It’s important as humans to be able to have a kind of escape through art. At the end of the day when you’re tired and you come home from work, you can just turn on the TV and just leave your world for an hour or so…

“I think you can really change people through acting, film, theater, and TV and I’ve always wanted to do it for that reason,” she said.
