“Because the show ran for such a long time, in order for it to not become monotonous, every season, he sort of had a different arc,” Wesley said.

“At one point he was pure evil, and he started out as the good guy and then he ended as the good guy. But I liked the challenge of trying to keep the character fresh.”

He said that it’s amazing enough that the show will live on forever, even when the series as ended. “What would happen? … Damon would have like, gray hair and they’d have canes. Like, ‘Oh, I’ve got to feed the baby.’ Listen, it ran a great course. Now, it’s still living. That’s what’s so amazing,” he said in a previous interview with SiriusXM’s Radio Andy.
