In Netflix's "Sweet Tooth," Christian Convery plays Gus, a young boy who is part human part deer, with noticeable deer antlers and ears. Gus spends most of his early life in a remote cabin with his adoptive father, but following his guardian's death, Gus embarks on a mission to find his mother with the help of Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie). The first season follows the unlikely pair on their search.
Many fans found Gus a bit naive in Season 1, and Convery agreed that his character had a lot to learn along his journey. "He is learning about trying new things and growing up because he breaks the rules that his father gave him," the actor said. Fans were able to watch that growth throughout the first season. But, according to Convery, Gus still has a long way to go. When asked if Gus would continue to change and grow up throughout Season 2, he answered, "Yes, definitely."
