00:00I didn't have a great time in high school.

00:03I just didn't really fit in.

00:05It took me a long time.

00:06I had my very, very awkward cocoon stage.

00:09I went to a high school for the performing arts.

00:12And there was a notice about auditions for this new kids show.

00:16And then one day, my mom called me and told me,

00:19you got the role.

00:21And I just grabbed my bag and left.

00:23And man, what a wild journey that started.

00:30A little Canadian series is shaking up the television industry.

00:34It's seen in 40 countries and won seven international awards.

00:37Thank you all for this award.

00:39It is the longest running and most successful

00:41franchise in TV history.

00:42What does this mean, ribbed?

00:44I watched an episode and was blown away.

00:46Oh my god.

00:47When 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.

00:55Apparently, the old Degrassi was like bare bones.

00:58The wardrobe was a lot of our own clothes that were brought in.

01:01We also had lunch duty where we helped

01:03live preparing lunch and doing dishes.

01:06It was the 80s.

01:08Hi.

01:08All that stuff that happened on the show

01:11was stuff that was happening to us in real life.

01:13I thought you said you knew how to drive.

01:16Don't worry.

01:17My character was a virgin.

01:18I was a virgin.

01:20She had to be one of my first kisses for sure.

01:22Damn, I never thought about it like that.

01:23It was kind of a whirlwind experience.

01:26Probably like a bit out of body.

01:28I knew that I'd basically be pushed out of the closet

01:31on television.

01:32They were becoming real teen icons.

01:35We love Degrassi!

01:39I'm nervous, man.

01:40Look at all these people.

01:41There's the fans waiting at the hotel.

01:44It's like, wait, reality check.

01:46What?

01:47It was way too much pressure.

01:49Getting called a slut or trash.

01:53You know, there was a lot of hate.

01:56He came from a very troubled background.

01:59I'm sorry.

02:00It was very difficult for some of us to just kind of find our way.

02:05Sometimes you don't want to be known for Degrassi.

02:07I think we all had that.

02:08We were just trying to escape it.

02:09It grew into an empire.

02:11And there are definitely individuals that have made money off of the empire.

02:17Have we always got it right?

02:19Probably not.

02:20Have we told our stories with the best of intentions?

02:24Yes, we have.
