PLAYBOY: How would you describe your style?
JOSH PECK: I would best describe it as minimally functional bohemia.

PLAYBOY: What does that mean?
PECK: I really don't know, but it sounded so good in my head. My wardrobe just works for my everyday life. Most of the time it is a T-shirt and jeans. Sneakers are like my vanity. It's a total indulgence.

PLAYBOY: Are you worried that playing a drug dealer in The Wackness could upset Drake & Josh fans?
PECK: I started doing the show when I was 14; now I am 21. I can only hope my audience has grown up with me. The Wackness is for my generation and a little older. Hopefully parents can take an active role in mitigating whether their kids are ready or not. Maybe it is selfish, but I want my fans to take a leap of faith with me. There are always those roles that are highly publicized, but it is rare that it is a role that you are so proud of that it isn't just a vehicle to get your name into every household.

PLAYBOY: What did your co-star Sir Ben Kingsley teach you?
PECK: How to be a gentleman and how to be gracious no matter what the circumstances. When you are next to an actor of that caliber, if you can remove your ego he can lift you to heights you never knew you could go.

PLAYBOY: There was an Internet rumor going around about you that you died. How did that feel?
PECK: I was just happy they weren't calling me fat. It is just so ridiculous that it almost doesn't have an effect. I'm glad that I didn't get any text messages or voicemails from friends saying how sorry they were to hear about my death.

Peck's suit ($1,095) and shirt ($125) are by JOHN VARVATOS STAR USA. His pocket square (three for $15) is by GEOFFREY BEENE.
