Stark noted that the best way Buck's "looking" will manifest is thru his longstanding friendship with Eddie, but there's rather more underneath the surface.
"I feel when you watch the episode, you truly understand it's not necessarily that he simply doesn't quite perceive what he's feeling," he stated. "And this jealousy [with Eddie] is the best way that it manifests itself, however it's not essentially the basis reason for his unease."
What precisely causes the "unease" remains to be seen as viewers eagerly await episode 100, but Stark confessed he felt a sense of duty in bringing the story line to life — particularly throughout such a serious milestone for the show.
"There's definitely a stunning Buck story considerably at the middle of [episode 100]," he defined. "So it's exciting for me. And anytime, as you say, your identify is in the title, you all the time assume, 'All proper, I really need to do this episode proud.'"

Buck's journey, in the meantime, will prolong beyond episode 100 and proceed throughout season 7. Stark shared that although his character has seen loads of progress throughout the years, his wrestle is one that is universally relatable: you don't know what's "lacking till you have got mild shined on it."
"And I feel that's type of the story that we're capable of begin to inform right here, is that Buck isn't consciously aware of the factor that he's in search of or what's missing in his life," Stark shared with Us. "And as he hopefully starts to find that it's this cathartic, liberating feeling of just with the ability to ease into it and breathe out this massive sigh of aid eventually."
Stark didn't specify what Buck figures out he finally needs, however his life appears to be full with a job he enjoys, coworkers and pals he loves, an in depth bond together with his sister and even a now-mended relationship together with his once-estranged mother and father. One thing he hasn't been able to find, nevertheless, is a long-term romantic associate.
Stark, for his half, has ideas about what the individual would have to exude with a purpose to be the proper match.
"I wish to assume it's someone that may problem him, but I feel perhaps anyone where it's not too straightforward for him," he informed Us.

He's sort of had a crush, obtained the individual."
Stark stated he'd take pleasure in seeing Buck "wrestle" and "bumble" for a bit before profitable over his subsequent love interest. "Where it doesn't fairly all the time go to plan and he has to work a bit of bit more durable to earn," she stated with a smirk, earlier than correcting himself. "Perhaps 'earn' is just not the healthiest word to make use of in that sense, but he has to place some work in."
Buck could also be a heartthrob, however he's also an open e-book — his vulnerability is one thing not often seen on TV with male characters who occupy stereotypically "macho" sort jobs. That softness is one thing Stark enjoys concerning the position, and one thing he intentionally brings to his efficiency.
"As an actor, I feel the elements that we play are opportunities to explore elements of ourselves that we don't all the time tap into in my life," he stated, sharing that there are occasions in his own life that he's "somewhat bit extra hard-shelled" than he'd like. "So it's actually pretty to have this virtually this excuse to embrace that aspect of your self."
Stark described Buck as a "golden retriever" or "labrador" sort, agreeing with Us that he's someone who's "not simply coronary heart first" but "coronary heart all the time."
"That's undoubtedly one thing I'm acutely aware of and intent on and actually love about attending to play him," he stated.
