Kyle XY follows a mysterious boy who looks like a teenager, but otherwise appears to be a newborn. The Trager family takes him in as one of their own. The series is produced by Touchstone and executive producers J. Mackye Gruber, Eric Bress, and David Himelfarb.



We had the honor of interviewing Jean-Luc Bilodeau who plays Josh Trager on the series, and here's what she had to say.


What drew you to pursue acting?

As a kid, I always loved Jim Carey. I used to do his impersonations and stuff like that. I don't know what it was, but I just like to entertain people. I've always been a dancer. I went to dance competitions and stuff like that, and just being in front of a big crowd of people brings me to an awesome place. So, I think it made me want to become an actor because the majority of famous actors are just in front of everybody all the time and, being in the spot light, I like it. I like to entertain people and make them laugh. Acting just fit the part.

Can you tell us a little bit about how you got the part of Josh, and why you accepted the role, the audition process and stuff like that?

It was pretty much like any other audition for anything else. My agent called up, I had an audition, so I went to downtown Vancouver and I did the audition, thought I did well, and within about a couple of weeks I got a call from some Hollywood execs saying that they wanted me to fly out to L.A. to audition for them. I pretty much just got on a plane, went to L.A., did the audition, thought I did well again, so I was pretty excited and flew back home. Then my agent called and said I had the part. So, it was pretty much just like any other TV show or movie audition.

What drew you to the role? Do you enjoy science fiction yourself?

I guess anything drew me to the role, because I'm going to take whatever I can get, right? But, yes, it is a really funny character. Josh is a great kid and I love his lines. He is such a funny, outgoing person. The lines the writers give me are just hilarious, and I love to play around with it and whatnot. I just got lucky, that's for sure, with Josh.

So the comedic aspect of your role really drew you to it? Do you get a lot of input on your lines as far as that goes?

Yes. My Mom is always looking at the IMDb message boards, and people always write in, 'Oh, that line was funny; that line was good.' I can just credit that to the writers. The writers come up with the best stuff. I get a lot of good feedback, but I think that just goes right back to the writers. They come up with the stuff and I'm just the one saying it. The show likes the funniness of Josh, and I'm overjoyed to provide that for them.
