In fact, Mann thinks Tate’s actions are reminiscent of another fan-favorite character from a beloved sitcom.
There, Jess falls for good girl Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel).
“I thought the character [of Tate] was fascinating.
I feel his archetype is Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) from ‘Gilmore Girls.’
He comes into town, and he’s a little bit of a troublemaker.
He’s got a chip on his shoulder,” he told the outlet.
“He’s dealing with a lot of internal struggle.
He’s had a crazy life with parents, who have had issues of their own.”
It seems like Tate has the brooding heartthrob act down pat.
“There’s a character named Fiyero in ‘Wicked’ that I’ve always wanted to play.
That would be really fun.
Aside from one of his dream roles, there are many other reasons why Mann loves “Wicked.”
In the same interview, he dished about why “Wicked” is his favorite musical.
Mann said, “‘Wicked is honestly one of my favorite shows.
I always go back to that one.
I’d probably choose ‘Wicked’ if I had to choose.
I love the music in it.”
