After its passage through Heroes, Dekker now enjoys the leading role in one of the most spectacular productions of television, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which takes over the storytelling in the film Terminator saga, the enclave action between the second and third parts (a fourth, entitled Terminator: Salvation, will be released in cinemas in 2009).
This young performer-which debuted at the early age of 6 years in the soap opera The Young and the Restless-the following series like ER, Seinfeld, Star Trek: Voyager, CSI and House-is now in your hands "responsibility" to embody one of the most charismatic and heroic characters of contemporary cinema: that of John Connor, the hero of the future that will achieve stop the advance of machinery, or Terminators, who take control of the Earth and humanity.
Dekker, in the midst of filming the second season Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, who returns today to television screens, told HolaLA! "I feel that this year embodied in a character totally different. In the first [season] I wanted to give life [a John Connor] young, weak, someone who does not seem able to save the world," he recalls.
"This year, because from the beginning, [John] suffers a series of traumatic events that transformed it into this hero, dangerous, full of anger, power and strength, which has never been seen before. Now put aside feelings for fight. "
Recognizing that "the first season was shorter than planned due to strikes by screenwriters. It was not our intention that happen", this native of Las Vegas warns that starting tonight, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles "takes Large Turnout regarding last season. It's much more exciting, fascinating Skynet ... [the multinational responsible for the creation of Terminators] takes the form of an almost unexpected, with characters who are unaware of the impending disaster that means " .
The mythology of the Terminator saga which began with the feature film that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1984 - is always present for those responsible for the series.
"The screenwriters are aware [of other films]," admits Dekker. "Last season it looked movies again. But this time we are more confident we can do, because we are different from those films. Now we have our own identity, so that we can experience something more than before."
"But it is true that the screenwriters, before starting the series, scored every detail of the argument of the previous films."
And something that still betting, in addition to the spectacular action scenes, is the relationship between John Connor and his mother, Sarah, who gives life Lena Headey.
"That is the soul of the films and why were so interesting," explains the actor. "I'm not a fan of action movies and that relationship is what always interested me."
"Most people prefer action, but it is frustrating when the only thing that is used to sell the series is that. To me the most interesting is the argument and what happens to their characters."
Thomas Dekker has focused mainly on the small screen.
"With television gave a months and months of your life. Movies come and go," reports. "I do not know what [means] prefer. But in the case of Terminator, took me so well with everyone and what we spend so well, I do not mind continuing it for years."
And in this regard ensures that "I have been acting 15 years and this is the best experience of my life."
When Dekker and the rest of interpreters in the series visited San Diego in connection with the conclusion of the fair Commis-Con, where he presented the new season, the receipt of these surprised the actor, because, as he acknowledges, "not I am famous for nothing. I'm just thankful to have a job and that people appreciate me. I try not to appear in public too, and be myself. "
Dekker says, however, that the music world is "the love of my life," and as proof of this has two albums, and Psyanotic Protean, "wrote and produced in my home," according to him, and that surprised in a style closer to the European electronic music-pop (what is known as synth-pop) not to American pop rock.
"When people think of actors who are trying to be singers, never imagine what I do. I leave it to people baffled," he says. "It was in Europe, where I lived for years, where I am fond of electronic music, which combined with my studies of classical music."
To act, composing and singing are not the only targets of a career which now adds Thomas Dekker address.
In October unveiled his debut as director, producer and editor, Whore-starring himself and the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Rumer Willis, and he defined as "very dark, strange, aggressive, experimental ... who have seen remain surprised that I am the director. "
