"Shadowhunter" star Harry Shum Jr. has shared a couple of secrets about his character, Magnus Bane, in the TV version of Cassandra Clare's hit "The Mortal Instruments" book series.
In an interview with WhoSay, the actor revealed: "He obviously has been trying to help the Shadowhunters, and he's really going out of his way to help. [But] also, he has ulterior motives."
Shum added: "He's been holding off on trying to really use all his powers to help them, but I think he sees that he's the only one that can help at a certain point."
The actor also said that forging a relationship with Alec (Matthew Daddario) is on top of Magnus' priorities.

"And obviously he wants to move forward with the Alec relationship in some way or another," Shum said. "And he's still struggling. And there's this possibility of him getting married. So, there's this whole dice that he's going to have to deal with in trying to figure out if you should pursue that or not."
Meanwhile, the actor also opened up about the challenges in playing a fan-favorite character.
"I know he was a fan favorite in the books, so you would think that the fans would love it, but there's a lot of pressure to get it right," the actor told Collider, adding, "The whole cast, but specifically Matt Daddario and I, have just made sure to really take care of our characters. They're really important to a lot of people, and we wanted make sure that it was in good hands."
The actor also said that he wanted to make sure that he is as close to the character as possible in terms of mannerisms and actions.
