When I read the episode for the first time.
[Laughs]They dont really spoil a whole lot for us ahead of time.
We read the scripts week by week.

Every time I get a new script, its like an episode premiere.
I sped through this one.
Its such a good way to go.
If youre going to go, you gotta go out big.
Its one of the only times inPretty Little Liarswhere I feel its a definitive death.
[Laughs]It would be real hard to come back from that.
Lets put it that way.
I would be impressed if somebody could put Humpty Dumpty back together.
Is there a prosthetic head around?
Are you keeping it?
To answer your question, in a way, yes I do get to keep it.
They cant take it from me; its not in my contract.
[Laughs]
How did you film that scene?!
And then the rest of it was computer imaging.
I want to watch the making of that.
Im sure its hilarious.
We did it so many times; I was exhausted by the end of it.
What is the fan reaction to Noel?
Does he have fans?
Noel has some really diehard supporters.
Im impressed with a lot of the ways people have latched onto him.
I think this show needed that aloof, snarky voice to highlight certain moments.
[Laughs]
What is it that motivates him?
I think that Noel would stand alone on the rubble of Rosewood if he was the sole survivor.
Thatd be a great scene!
[Laughs]Hes only looking out for himself.
They stitch his head back on and then he blows up Rosewood!
[Laughs]Exactly, but as long as he survives.
I think its worth noting that in a sense he dies by his own hand.
So in a metaphorical sense, the life that hes living was his downfall.
So he has friends, but only as long as hes getting something out of it.
Hes not a selfless person.
What are you going to miss most about playing this character?
Hes so different from me in every single way.
Brant, me, I like to think Im very polite and Noel is not polite at all.
Its kind of like hes therapeutic.
He is in a way; he is purely himself with no apologies.
Whatever happened to his brother?
Maybe well do a spinoff of their origin story.
Exactly, it will be the Kahn brothers.
And its worth noting as well that Charlotte was involved in that; he was friends with Charlotte.
He brought her to the parties that we would have in our cabin.
So what Eric Kahn knows, we have no idea, but he couldve had a hand in things.
At this point, who is your top suspect for Uber A?
I dont know is the thing and thats hard for me to admit.
[Laughs]I dont have a top suspect at this point.
It could be anybody.
I want it to be a parent.
It could be a parent.
It could be a very familiar face.
It could be somebody on the outskirts of what we see in the show.
Its really been set up in a way where were not sure who to believe and who to trust.
Weve seen what Hannas capable of these last two episodes.
That would be fun!
She hit me over the head hard enough where she couldnt even interrogate me later.
Shes capable of more than she thinks.
But I think every character on this show is.
Pretty Little Liarsreturns for its final 10 episodes in April 2017.
