On Friday, EW Editor at Large Lynette Rice took the San Diego Comic-Con stage to moderate EW’s Brave New Warriors panel with 

’s Colin O’Donoghue. The actors discussed career highlights (and regrets), the worst notes they’ve gotten from directors, and more.

character — “probably the best character on the show” — Rankin recalled his most embarrassing job when he played one of Cinderella’s stepsisters in a play and, as he put it, “lost a little piece of his soul” each day he took the stage for a crowd of kids he said “couldn’t care less.”

+When asked what he loves about playing Shadow Moon, Whittle responded, “His eternal hope,” adding, “He constantly gets back up and keeps moving forward.” As for his worst role, Whittle recalled modeling for a campaign when he was young. Much like Joey Tribbiani on

, Whittle was the face of an STD. “I was that guy,” he admits. His advice to kids? “Please don’t do those commercials.” (Meloni, however, turned down one of those commercials.)

+Harbour, who admits he loves Chief Hopper just as much as all of you, recalled the most insulting thing a director ever said to him. It was on

, when he played what he called, “the third gay cowboy in a two gay cowboy movie.” His character met Jake Gyllenhaal’s at a bar, and during the scene, Harbour said director Ang Lee gave him one note: “More handsome.”

+Rodrigo, also speaking to something a director once told them, remembered filming a love scene on one project when he said he must’ve been too enthusiastic because the director asked that he be “a little bit more gentle, a little less Latino.”

+When asked who has a tattoo they regret, one hand went up. When asked who has a piercing they regret, the same hand went up. Both times, it was Meloni.

+In case you were wondering, as Captain Hook, O’Donoghue had to learn how to shuffle cards with one hand. And yes, he demonstrated.
