Interview: Cody Christian on Mike’s Quest For Answers on ‘Pretty Little Liars’

Cody Christian stars as Mike Montgomery in ABC Family’s mega-hit series Pretty Little Liars. The original drama series is currently airing an intense fifth season full of twists and turns.

We had the chance to chat with Cody about the darker side of Mike that viewers have been seeing in recent episodes, what is motivating him on his quest for answers, and just how far he will go to get those answers. We also get a promise that the fans and viewers will indeed be getting those answers sooner, rather than later.

Check out our interview with Cody Christian below:

The viewers are definitely seeing a new side to Mike in the most recent episodes. What can you tease about what’s motivating Mike’s actions?

I think what’s motivating Mike is what has been motivating the Liars since season 1. That’s to find answers. I wish I could give a more extensive answer than that. He wants to know why and what happened.

Will Mike’s character, or even the viewers, be getting those answers soon rather than later?

Absolutely. I stand behind saying that the answers will be given to the audience very, very soon. I know there’s been times when a season has gone by before something has happened but specifically, in regards to Mike and what’s going on with him now, the audience will receive answers very soon rather than later.

How will this darker side of Mike be affecting his relationship with his sister Aria in the coming weeks?

We’re going to see an instance of the past repeating itself, history repeating itself in Rosewood. Mike and Aria have always been best friends and they’ve had each others backs but at the same time we’ve also seen them at each other’s throats. At this point, I think Mike is done taking orders from people and being told what to do. He’s gonna do whatever he feels is necessary to get the answers that he wants. You’re gonna do that at no one’s mercy. That’s going to cause some tension between Aria and Mike but at the end of the day, I don’t think it’s anything that they’re not going to be able to get through. They’re family and they would do anything for each other.
