James Maslow & Carlos Pena - TeenNick Halo Awards 2012

James Maslow and Carlos Pena hang with honoree Kylie Lan Tumiatti inside the 2012 TeenNick HALO Awards held at Hollywood Palladium on Saturday (November 17) in Hollywood.

Kylie was one of four ordinary teens honored for doing something extraordinary.

JJJ recently caught up with James during a meet and greet in Arizona just a few days ago.

“Rarely would he [character James Diamond] allow the energy to drop because if it’s not on him, then it should be (laughs) but I think one of the…he’s over the top and some what narcissistic, but he’s redeeming in the sense that he really does care about his friends,” James shared with us about his BTR character.

He added, “That’s one cool thing about BTR is that no matter how old you are, it’s awesome to be able to watch a show that has a positive message no matter what. Even if we break up for the episode, there’s something you realize. Friendship’s more important than this job. And frankly, I kind of think about that in real life because this industry could be a cutthroat industry.”

The 2012 TeenNick Halo Awards will air on Monday, November 19th @ 8PM ET/PT on Nick at Nite.
