Jill Wagner didn't start out with the goal of playing wholesome heroines — just the opposite. "It's funny because when I first started out in my career, I was really cast as the villain, as the bad girl," she said. This meant having to explain her roles to puzzled family members, who couldn't understand why she wanted to portray such unsavory characters.
"I remember my grandmother, one day we were sitting in her living room and we were talking about my career, different things that I've done," Wagner said. "And she made a comment. She said, 'I just don't understand it, Jill. I don't understand why you always have to play the bad one because people don't understand you're good.' And I laughed at that because I always told my grandmother, I said, 'Grandma, it's actually fun to play the villain.' It's fun sometimes to play the bad girl."
Her role in "Teen Wolf" allowed her to fully immerse herself in bad girl mode. "I would sit in the chair for about an hour and a half each day, just so they could get my, I guess it's called a were-jaguar face on," she recalled. "And that was a lot of fun. It's just fun to play a character like that, because it gets you into the role."
