Donovin Miller Talks The CW’s Tom Swift

On the show, actor Donovin Miller plays Tom’s cousin and adopted brother, Lino. Fans learned that the Swift family adopted Lino when he was very young. So Lino questioned and had to find the answer to why throughout season 1 of the show.
Lino, according to Distractis a carefree child whose strengths differ from his science-obsessed older brother, Tom.[Lino] very healthy, so there are some things that Tom is completely against that Lino is really into,” Donovin says of his character. And I think we’ll see a lot of that throughout… the first few episodes of Tom Swift.“
According to Donovin, Lino’s relationship with Tom was tested in season 1. “There’s a lot of that brotherly relationship… going on, where… I think they realize that things aren’t going to be perfect and unvarnished, and… they deal with some emotional issues and trauma that need to be dealt with but ultimately deal with it in a healthy way that families do,” the actor revealed to the entertainment channel.
“Lino’s main personal challenge is almost like an identity crisis,” he further shared with Distractify. “On the surface, he’s this fun-loving kid who lifts everyone up, keeps everyone calm, and still has this fun, light-hearted charisma about him, but underneath there’s this sense of longing because he really doesn’t know where he belongs.”
As for why he was adopted, Donovin explains, “He never really questioned it before, but there was always this empty feeling inside of him that he started questioning throughout Season 1 of Tom Swift, and he does some very interesting and exploratory work to find out where he came from and why things ended up the way they did.”
