DB Woodside on the Fan Favorite Amenadiel
For Woodside, the show has been one of the closest and hardest jobs he has ever done. Talking about Amenadiel to Comics Beat, the actor said that Amenadiel has been “groomed for this position since he was created.” He is the most loyal, he said adding “I always joke about that whole ‘he’s the favorite’ but I think I like to really see it as he’s just the one that has really focused in on what it takes to be a better angel.”
“And I think this is something that his father had been working on for all of Amenadiel’s existence. I think once he realized that he didn’t have to run the family business the way his father ran it and that he could run it the way that he saw fit, the way that he thinks humanity needs to progress. I think he realized, ‘Okay this is the job that I was created for, I just need to make it my own.’”
The actor further said that it was the most challenging job that “I’ve ever had but it was also the most rewarding” and he would love to do more of this as it took quite a while to show people that this is something that “I want to do, that I’m good at, and I want to be taken seriously.” The actor further revealed that he has been directing television shows for over 20 years now yet many people aren’t aware of it as he hasn’t “done it on a big splashy television show because it’s been hellish trying to get people to see me differently.” Also, the actor has been in the business for over 25 years now and he is ready to lead his own show.
