So a lot of that came naturally and I think that Kenny and I had a good flow and gelled through all of our scenes because we were able to connect on and off screen and relate to each other. I think from the minute Kenny showed up, the two of us really hit it off off-screen, so that really translated over to all these scenes where I know of him as Uncle Caleb and we’re bonding and he’s connecting back into the family and I’m being able to reach out and find out more about the family that I’ve never known. He’s been seeking and searching a connection with his family member and when he finds out, obviously, Max is Norma’s son this is something that opened up and happened naturalistically between the two, for me. It just seemed familiar and it made it incredibly real for me and for the character Caleb. So there was some striking similarities and mannerisms and things that were going on between us that made it real. ![]() So I had this whole thing honed in on Max prior to getting offered this role. I had been a huge fan of this show the prior season and really been intrigued by his character. KENNY: It was kind of amazing for me because when I showed up on the set, Max came right up to me and said, “It’s going to be a pleasure working with you and I can’t wait.” And he was really down to earth and connected. What has it been like working with each other on BATES MOTEL? In a recent press conference call, stars Max Thieriot and Kenny Johnson talked about their complicated and damaged characters and the dark path that they seem to be caught up on as they get deeper and deeper into Norma and Norman’s lives. So finding out that Dylan was likely the product of Norma’s brother Caleb (Kenny Johnson) forcing himself on her finally shed light on a very painful secret Norma has been hiding and running from for a very long time. She seemed so uncomfortable around him and like she could not bear the sight of him most days. There was always something a little off and unexplained about the relationship of Norma (Vera Farmiga) and her eldest son, Dylan (Max Thieriot). ![]()
