They weren't certain which character and so they flew me out to Charleston saying, ‘You’re going to be one in all these characters, however I didn’t know which one. The final audition I did in L.A. was John B., so I flew to Charleston considering like, ‘All proper, they need me as John B.'”
Nonetheless, when he received there and did one other chemistry learn, creator Jonas Pate informed him they nonetheless weren’t certain and wished him to learn for JJ once more.
“So mainly I screwed up John B and I used to be like, ‘All proper, I can are available as JJ!’ They despatched me three new scenes and I’m like, ‘All proper, that is ridiculous! Three new scenes, just one extra chemistry learn and I've to be a special character.’ I used to be type of stressed just a bit bit,” he defined. “That’s after I met Chase [Stokes], and after I met Chase, the next chemistry learn, it was loopy as a result of I even noticed it. … JD (Jonathan Daviss), the man that performs Pope, helped me discover JJ the day earlier than and I introduced the model of JJ that’s within the present right this moment, because of JD.”
The Alaska native then famous that he’s comfortable he landed the function of JJ — and really informed the creator that’s what he wished to do.
