“He has a kind heart
and is the comedy man
everyone needs in life.”
How closely does the show mirror the
Israeli original?
The shows are actually very similar to each
other and rightly so. The original was a
huge hit!
You’ve said that you are very similar to
Leo. Would you say there are any
differences between the two of you?
Have you learned anything about your-
self through playing him?
Yes, Leo and I have a lot of similarities and
many differences as well. I think he’s a little
too competitive at times, which I’ve been
working on in my own life. You don’t have
to win every time. But he’s a great leader
and talented musician so those are things I
strive to accomplish in my own life.
If you could play any Eagle character,
who would it be and why?
I would probably be Parker. He has a kind
heart and is the comedy man everyone
needs in life.
Leo has quite the messy love life! Fans
certainly seem to have vocal opinions
about who he should be with. Were you
surprised by the intensity of the reac-
tion? Who do you prefer him with?
I think Leo should be with Haley, too! They
shared such a strong connection, but
hopefully he didn’t mess up too bad. I’m
really glad the storyline had such an
impact on the fans and I hope they enjoy the
next season.
How would you like to see Leo develop
over the next season?
I’d love to have Leo see his wrongs and try
to do right by them.
Beyond acting, music is your other
passion. Who are your biggest
musical inspirations?
I really love Jon Bellion; he has such a
unique style and his beat-making process
is incredible.
Any upcoming projects that you’re
excited about?
I filmed a couple features this year and they
should be coming out at the beginning of
next year! I’m very excited to see them.
