Tyler Posey has nothing but good words about "Teen Wolf" newcomer Cody Christian.
Speaking to People at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas, over the weekend, Posey talked about his experience of working with Christian in the fifth season of the teen supernatural drama.
"He's a phenomenal actor, he's really passionate about his work," Posey told the outlet of the 20-year-old "Pretty Little Liars" star. "He really loves being on set and is always asking questions about shots and setups, what size lens they're using. He fits in so well on set."
Posey didn't also shy away from complimenting his fellow actor's physical appearance. "He does look awesome," the 23-year-old star said, agreeing to his co-star Shelley Hennig's comment that Christian "looks great on screen."
Christian will play Theo Raeken in season 5. He's a lone wolf who happens to be Scott's (Posey) grade-school friend. He returns to Beacon Hills in search of a pack.

"He's such an incredible actor and has a great storyline," added Posey. "It's cool, because I think he influenced the storyline a little bit. I don't know how in depth his character was before we started filming, but his character is in every episode. Some of us aren't in every episode! He's just so good. I could talk about Cody Christian for hours."
As seen in the first full trailer for season 5, Theo's desire to join Scott's pack will cause a rift in the latter's relationship with his best friend Stiles (Dylan O'Brien). Scott wants Theo to join the pack, but Stiles is against his plan.
Although the trailer doesn't explain why Stiles doesn't want Scott to let Theo be a member of the pack, O'Brien told Celebified at PaleyFest this past March that his character "hates" Theo.
"I can tell you that my character hates him," the 23-year-old actor teased at the time. "That's how I felt immediately just now when you brought his name up ... Stiles has his eyes on Theo."
"Teen Wolf" season 5 will have a two-night premiere on Monday, June 29 at 10 p.m. and on Tuesday, June 30 at 9 p.m. on MTV. After the two-episode event, the show will air regularly on Mondays.
