00:00Ich hatte eine sehr gute Zeit in highschool.
00:03Ich einfach nicht wirklich fit in.
00:05Es war mir ein lange Zeit.
00:07Ich hatte meine sehr, sehr awkward, cocoon stage.
00:09Ich war ein Highschool für die Performing Arts.
00:12Und da war ein Notiz über auditions für dieses neue Kids Show.
00:16Und dann, ein Tag, mein Mom meinte und meinte,
00:19»Hu got the role!«
00:21Und dann habe ich meine Begge und left.
00:23Und man, was ein wilder journey das hat.
00:30A Little Canadian series is shaking up the television industry.
00:34It's seen in 40 countries and won seven international awards.
00:37»Thank you all for this award.«
00:39»It is the longest-running and most successful franchise in TV history.«
00:42»What does this mean?«Ribbed?«
00:44»I watched an episode and was blown away.«
00:46»Oh, my God!«
00:47»When people talk about my old show on Dawson's
00:50or they talk about Beverly Hills 90210,
00:52they don't know that the big granddaddy is, Degrassi.
00:55»Apparently, the old Degrassi was, like, bare-bones.«
00:58»Wordra was a lot of our own clothes that were brought in.«
01:01»We also had lunch duty where we helped live preparing lunch and doing dishes.«
01:06»It was the 80s.«
01:08»Hi.«All that stuff that happened on the show
01:11was stuff that was happening to us in real life.
01:14»I thought you said you knew how to drive.«
01:16»Don't worry.«
01:17»My character was a virgin.«
01:19»I was a virgin.«
01:20»She had to be one of my first kisses for sure.«
01:22»Damn, I never thought about it like that.«
01:24»It was kind of a whirlwind experience.
01:26It's probably, like, bit out of body.«
01:28»I knew that I'd basically be pushed out of the closet on television.«
01:32»They were becoming real teen icons.«
01:35»We love Degrassi!«
01:39»I'm nervous, man. Look at all these people.«
01:41»There's the fans waiting at the hotel. It's like, wait, reality check. What?«
01:47»It was way too much pressure.«
01:49»Getting called a slut or trash.«
01:52»You know, there was a lot of hate.«
01:56»He came from a very troubled background.«
01:59»I'm sorry.«
02:00»It was very difficult for some of us to just kind of find our way.«
02:05»Sometimes you don't want to be known for Degrassi.«
02:07»I think we all had that. We were just trying to escape it.«
02:09»It grew into an empire, and there are definitely individuals that have made money off of the empire.«
02:16»Have we always got it right?«
02:19»Probably not.«
02:20»Have we told our stories with the best of intentions?«
02:24»Yes, we have.«
02:26»I know I can make it through.«
02:31»Everybody wants something, they'll never give up.«
