Trivia[]
- Pinkham has expressed his personal attachment to the character of Stolas, especially as a father of two young children himself.[1]
- Pinkham is married to Scarlett Strallen, and have two children together: a daughter named Winnie and a son name Wilder.[2]
- He described Stolas as "leading with joy", but also acknowledged the character's emotional difficulties, and congratulated Vivziepop on Stolas' complexity.[3]
- How Bryce became involved with Helluva Boss was that he had received a message on social media from Vivziepop asking him if he could audition for a character half-based on a character he previously did on Broadway.[4]
- When auditioning for the role of Stolas, Bryce mentioned having two prompts that he took in with him, one of them being King George from Hamilton. He also leaned into that playful British speech pattern, which he then went on to describe as ending up half Mrs. Doubtfire and half his British dance-teacher grandmother-in-law.[citation needed]
- Vivziepop explained that, while listening to music for inspiration, she listened to Bryce's singing of "Sibella" from A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder and asked if they could get him to read for the role. When he did, he sung a song from the same musical for his song audition, and Bryce explained that when he was asked to sing the song he made a joke that he "can't do it as well as the guy on the album", referring to himself.[5]
- Due to the Covid pandemic, Bryce recorded his lines for season 1 in his friend's garage, and the first thing he recorded was the improvised phone call to Blitzo whilst sleep deprived due to his couple days old second child, his newborn son.[6][7]
- Bryce's favorite line as Stolas in season one is "We're rich and we're hot!" from "Loo Loo Land".[8]
- The Helluva Boss season two episode "Seeing Stars" aired on Pinkham's 40th birthday.
