Transcript
00:00This is gonna be the best intro outro you've ever seen.
00:02Oh, okay.
00:03Okay.
00:04Is there two cameras this whole time?
00:06Don't worry about it.
00:07I'm here hanging out with Hollywood Life,
00:09the best press outlet in New York.
00:13Now I'm gonna do the outro.
00:15Outro.
00:16Thanks for watching, guys.
00:18I like how the tone of the outro and the intro
00:21are completely different than the interviews.
00:30My character's name is Xander,
00:32and he's kind of based off of my brother in a way.
00:34My brother's name is Xander,
00:35so I developed it,
00:36and when I was producing it,
00:37he kind of inspired me to base the character around,
00:39and he's trying to find his dad, essentially,
00:41and everyone else thinks that his dad is dead
00:43or missing or gone forever,
00:45and he's amazing.
00:51Taking the producing reins was very difficult,
00:55very weird.
00:56You know, as an actor,
00:57you kind of just show up on set,
00:59everything's all set up,
01:00the lights, everything,
01:01you just walk in, you do your thing, you know?
01:03But I didn't realize,
01:04or I realized I just didn't respect enough
01:06how much work goes into making movies
01:08and like how much effort people put in
01:10to just literally like setting up the sets,
01:13like getting people on time,
01:15like budgeting.
01:16I learned all this.
01:17It was quite the learning experience.
01:24When I first got on the show,
01:25it was so overwhelming.
01:27It's like being thrown into a whole new world,
01:30and all these pressures came along
01:31with being on the show,
01:32and so I feel like Henry the character
01:34and me have basically grown
01:35throughout these whole years,
01:37and when I grow,
01:38an aspect of Henry grows,
01:39and so it's been interesting to literally
01:41like grow up like on the screen.
01:43Henry is basically like my alter ego,
01:45like he's a cooler version of me.
01:46When I go on set,
01:47I literally like,
01:48I don't even think anymore,
01:49just like roll right into it,
01:50you know what I mean?
01:51It's snotty, it's weird.
01:53It freaks me out sometimes.
01:59Who is somebody that inspires me?
02:01Kanye West.
02:03The fact that he goes into many different worlds
02:04and there's something about his songs
02:05that I feel like they give people confidence,
02:07and I love that.
02:08Graduation is like the best album, maybe.
02:10I mean there's really no bad Kanye album,
02:12but the worst one is 808,
02:13in my opinion.
02:14I think I tweet about him because
02:16I didn't like the idea that,
02:19you know,
02:20ever since he kinda got political,
02:22that like I couldn't like an artist
02:24because of, you know,
02:25whatever his views were or whatever.
02:27Or not even his views,
02:28because his views were actually pretty solid.
02:30It's just,
02:31I wanted to get it out there,
02:32because it was like something that was me,
02:33I felt like I needed to express that,
02:35so I'm very expressive about my love for Kanye.
02:38I used to,
02:39speaking of Kanye,
02:40I used to like hype myself up with Kanye songs
02:43right before our run throughs.
02:45In my dress room,
02:46I would just play,
02:47and I would just be by myself.
02:49It's like,
02:50just imagine it is kind of,
02:51makes me feel less cool about myself.
02:53But,
02:54but that's what I used to do,
02:55and it would work.
02:56People do that, right?
03:02What I've learned so far,
03:03is that like you really can,
03:05like remold your mind,
03:07in a way.
03:08And like,
03:09your mind can literally like adapt.
03:11It's just your mind is rewired in a different way,
03:13and sometimes if you can use that as a super power,
03:15it can be,
03:16the best.
03:17I mean that's why I love Kanye so much,
03:18is,
03:19I,
03:20I see,
03:21the genius in the crazy.
03:22And so when people call him crazy,
03:23it's like it inspires me more,
03:24because I like,
03:25I like that people don't understand,
03:27but I do.
03:28I honestly,
03:34I think the go to Netflix and chill in general,
03:36should be The Office.
03:37You don't want something too heavy,
03:39that you have to invest a lot of energy into,
03:41you know what I mean?
03:42So,
03:43I would probably just go for like The Office,
03:44or maybe Friends.
03:45I feel like,
03:46I like to think I'm Michael Scott,
03:47because I love him so much,
03:48and also his personality is so lovable.
03:50He's just got a lovable personality.
03:52Do you feel me?
03:58I say it every interview,
04:00but Selena Gomez,
04:01she's the love of my life.
04:03We're going to-
04:04You didn't know it's her today, oh.
04:05Really?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Oh, I got some competition, dude.
04:08That guy's nice.
04:09Like I met that guy,
04:10and I'm like,
04:11you're so nice,
04:12I almost like you too much.
04:16But yeah,
04:17we'll get married.
04:23Indiana Jones.
04:24That movie franchise was what inspired me
04:26to want to be an actor.
04:28Or not even be an actor,
04:29just like,
04:30I didn't even know what it was,
04:31because I was so young when I saw it.
04:32I was just like,
04:33I just want that.
04:34Like,
04:35I want to be a director,
04:36or I want to be a writer,
04:37or I want to be an actor.
04:38I just want to be a part of that.
04:44The best meme of all time.
04:46I don't even know.
04:47Yeah.
04:48That was a classic one.
04:50I also like the,
04:51you know the guy with the question mark?
04:52I use that all the time.
04:53The like,
04:54me and my friend used to literally
04:56just communicate with office GIFs.
04:59Like,
05:00that's how we would communicate.
05:01We would try to like,
05:02get our message across
05:03with just office GIFs.
05:04And it's pretty,
05:05you can do it.
05:06At one point,
05:07there was,
05:08you know those Instagram GIFs
05:09that they have?
05:10Like,
05:11the,
05:12just like,
05:13that you go into?
05:14I would literally see stories
05:15that I had nothing to do with,
05:16of people using,
05:17it was like a picture of me going like,
05:19or like,
05:21or I don't even,
05:22I can't even replicate it.
05:23But it was,
05:24it was something like that.
05:25And that was the coolest feeling in the world.
05:26Like,
05:27being a GIF is like,
05:28the best thing.
05:29I can't stand when people use the word stand,
05:31or like,
05:32this ain't it chief.
05:33If I hear this ain't it chief one more time,
05:35I'll just,

05:40if you say,
05:41this ain't it chief,
