Days of Our Lives spoilers say that we certainly couldn’t agree more on our end, either. Actor Bryan R. Datillo has made it no secret that he loves the fact that he’s back on the show doing what he loves. Not only that, but he also loves it that he now gets to show the world a different side to Lucas Horton – and it’s one that no one has seen before. Here’s what you need to know.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Bryan R. Datillo Says Lucas Has A Different Vibe Now
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Bryan admits that it was time for a big change in Lucas. He said, “It was fun to grow my hair out and grow a goatee. I got to do that for the prison run. I let go, and whatever hair came out the face, came out the face. Lucas doesn’t look very manicured at all. He’s very hippie.”
He also added, “It was a different look, a different vibe. It suits the character, and it marks a new beginning for me. It’s a transition from who Lucas used to be to who he is now, because you can’t go through [a stint in] prison and be the same person.”
But that wasn’t the only thing that Bryan got to change about Lucas. He said, “My choice as an actor was to play the character with a different pace and delivery, because he’s been through so much and is kind of gutted,” Dattilo explains. “He has nothing to lose, but has nowhere to go. So it’s kind of a fun change. It’s not the same character anymore. I don’t know, maybe it’s not a good thing, because I haven’t been back [to DAYS] since. I tried to do things I haven’t done before acting wise. Hopefully, it was justified by the circumstances Lucas was going through.”

Not only that, but Bryan also said that he loves working with George DelHoyo in front of the camera. “I got to [explore] the whole angle of being in prison with Orpheus,” he said, adding, “I got to work with a few people I’ve always wanted to work with, like Drake Hogestyn [John] and Stephen Nichols [Steve]. I’d worked with Drake, but not in the same storyline where we’re both kind of on the same [mission]. I hadn’t done that with Stephen either. We became the comedy team of Drake, Stephen and Bryan. I got to be part of the leather jacket crew. That was fun. It was fun cahooting with them and getting back to Lucas being on the inside with information. I loved the new angle on the character and working with different people was awesome.”
