“It’s been three years, Inday,” Gabay told you one day, morphing into a white butterfly on your shoulder. It was 5:28AM in Hanoi, and the sun was only beginning to rise; the morning light just beginning to peek through the curtains of your current residence, which you stayed in alone since it was only fit for one person. Thus, you often had your peace in the early hours of the day. The only sounds that could be heard were the chirping of the birds outside, instrumental Bossa Nova music playing from your phone, and your kettle whistling on the stove.

For the first question he said that he enjoyed spending the time in LA with his pets during quarantine even though he missed his family and friends.

The second question is about believing in ghosts and supernatural. He said he doesn’t really believe in that, even though once he stayed in a haunted house.

Next question is about what he misses about England. He said he misses his family, his friends, pubs, the attitude and not having deadly poisonous animal around.

If he could be any other person in the world for a few days he would be Hitler and get hit by a car. But if he had to do something funny, Robert Downey Jr. because he enjoyed his journey to who he is today.

They asked him if he has new projects but he can’t say anything about it.

The next question is about what he is the most proud of accomplishing this year. He said that he made some improvements to himself and that he’s proud of it.

In 2021 he looks forward the CoVid-19 vaccine and being able to travel and leave LA for a little bit.

His favourite cast mate to travel would be either Matt or Alberto, he travelled with both and he can’t pick between them.

If he could be in any tv show he would be in “Taxi” with Danny De Vito, the original one.

If he could direct any movie based on a book it would be on “Letters from Alcatraz” which he read some years ago.

He said Dan really loves when he’s home and he’s worried about what will happen when he will go back to work.

The country he’d really like to visit would be in Southern Asia because he really likes those places. When it’s safe to do so, obviously.

If he could be anything else in Shadowhunters he would be a demon because they have the best powers and abilities. So maybe Jonathan.

His path to learning Spanish isn’t going well but he’ll continue learning and he hopes he’ll do some progresses.

It’s hardest scene in Shadowhunters is the one in Jace’s mind because emotional scenes are the most draining ones and if he could be a superhero he would be Superman or if British approves, he could also be Captain America.

One of his favourite things they did on Shadowhunters is showing that men can also be emotional, in the parabatai scene for example.

For the last question he had to choose between being a lead role or working as a supporting role with his favourite actors/actresses. He said it depends. He was a lead in Shadowhunters, but he accepted Penny Dreadful because he had the possibility to work with big names. 

The first question was about which song their character would absolutely have in their playlist.
Matt said “Don’t stop me now” by Queen, Kat said “Fragile World” by Simon Lewis, Nicola said that in season three it would probably be “Single Ladies” by Beyoncé, “Redemption Song”  by Bob Morley and the Wallers for season two and Star Wars’ imperial March for season one. Will said “Lasagna Man” by Adele, which isn’t real but it’s perfect for his character and Dom said “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins.

In the second question they’ve been asked if they missed training for fighting scenes.
They all said they wouldn’t be able to do the same things they did during Shadowhunters now. It was hard work and they all enjoyed working out together and Kat added that they were all like big brothers to her and helped her doing the exercise correctly. They also said that Kat was the only one who got out without serious injuries. Dom said Will was the only one who didn’t hit him, in fact Matt punched him in the face and Kat stabbed him.

The last question is about what they miss the most about Shadowhunters.
Kat was the first to answer and said she misses spend time with all the cast. Alan said he too misses the cast, especially Matt’s explainations about cows. Matt and Nicola agreed with Kat, Nicola added that they were her first friends after she became a mum. Will said he also misses the craft table but mostly he misses his character and screaming at people. Nicola then asked him what his favorite thing at the craft table was and he said he loved the nuts, while Matthew remembers the ham and chees melted croissant.

The first question was about Matt and Kat’s new project “Push” and they both said they’re playing very different character from what they were used to and they had a lot of fun filming it, there’s a lot going on. Matt also said that people will debate about the characters.

Irene’s question was about their characters Kurt, Mia and Alec: if they’d like each other when they’d first meet and how would they organise an escape plan together. Kat said that Mia and Alec probably would do some kind of archery competition and that they’d be confused  about Kurt’s outfit. Dom said Alec wouldn’t like the other people and Matt added he would be perplexed on why they’re not wearing fighting gear but they’ll keep it professional and they’ll try to find an escape plan.

Evelin’s question was about who managed to stay in a better shape during the show without messing up their diets. Dom mentioned that Alberto was way too in good shape and had to “diet back” at one point. Matt said that the show was filmed in a long period of time so when they had time off it was really hard to stick to the diet and Dom added that they started eating cheeseburgers and donuts on the first day of freedom.

Next question was about what they took from set. Dom and Matt started saying that Kat got everything, she came in with a trolley and took everything she could and that know she’s denying so she wouldn’t get sued. They then started talking about how they tried to hide things that happened while shooting, like when some things fell or Dom punching the mirror and hiding is bloody hand or Kat’s broken heel in Paris.

For the next question they had to tell a funny story from set. Matt said the day when they were fighting a demon and he shot an arrow to the microphone. Dom mentioned when they shoot zooms scenes on their face because it was very hard to not burst out laughing. Kat also mentioned the first scene with the werewolves in season one.

Elizabeth’s question was about what would they do when the pandemic will end. Dom plans to go back to England as soon as he can and then wherever work needs him to be. Matt said Dom shouldn’t leave because he just got there. They then started talking about Dan and how big he is and how he needs more attention than an actual child.

Last question was about where they would like to play and which character if they could choose their next role. Matt would play a bad guy in a jungle who will be attacked by an animal at one point, Dom and Kat said they’d like to go everywhere.

First question: date and place of birth. Matt got the place right, Kent, but said that Dom’s birthday is everyday in his heart. Dom said Matt was born in Dumb-Dumb town on Novambuary 32nd. Then they discussed that Matt was born in NYC and moved to  dumb-dumb town after that moment, and that they also named the wing after him.

Second question: the other one’s student job. Dom said Matt has never worked a day in his life, so they started discussing about how they actually met if he had never worked before: a guy who was always on set for no reason. His student job actually was as an astrophysics intern. Dom’s student job was a barman but Matt thought it was a job at a summer camp. Matt also asked if every British male has to work in a pub at least once in their life.

Third question: favourite country they’ve traveled to together. Dom said Crete and Matt said Spain, then he complained that the question was about a country and not the specific place so Dom said that what he wrote actually was the Sanskrit for “Spain”. They both actually enjoyed Spain and Greece very much because they’ve visited beautiful places (like the zoo, Matt added).

Fourth question: the worst nickname they gave to each other. Matt answered first saying “coworker”, then Dominic showed his paper on which it was written “fat Matt”, but then said that on set they were all jealous of his body.

Fifth question: each other’s hidden talent. Dom went first because Matt had no idea what his hidden talent was and said it was “acting”. While for Matt Dom’s talent is looking stupid while sleeping and Dominic agreed, adding that he also throws punches while he sleeps.

Sixth question:  the other’s favorite meal. Matt was quite sure about his answer and went first saying Dom’s favorite meal to cook is the sheperd’s pie. Dom agreed and then answered the question saying Matt doesn’t eat and lives of the energy of the universe, just like plants. They then started discussing photosynthesis and the visible spectrum.

K: I’d like to di a period piece, especially to wear a hoop skirt.

D: Whatever animal it is, it would love me more.

K: Probably another rune.
D: I’ve done one for every season and that’s it.

Q: What’s your funniest moment on set together?
D: I saw Kat falling asleep a lot of times, even while being on a chair. She fell asleep in my arms during a scene in the bed.
K: He fell asleep too later in the scene.

Q:What advice would you give Clary and Jace knowing their characters?
D: Jace should have ignored Clary and walked past her the first time they met because everything went down after that.
K: I would probably teel her to listen to the people around her.

Q:What injuries did you get on set?
D: I had the most stuns, so it was very likely for me to get injured, the worst one is when I broke my ankle. I broke it on episode three and after that episode you can see Jace was only standing still.
K: I got hurt when I was fighting Aline.

Q: Which evil was the worst one between Clary and Jace?
D: I’d say Jace as the Owl killed more people, but Clary was twinned to Jonathan.

Q:Did Jace’s friendship with Simon helped Jace?
D: Jace had a particular view on the downworlders and having a friend as Simon really helped him with the humanity.

Q:What did playing Jace meant to you?
D: The key thing about playing Jace is about the balance relating to the relationships.

Q:Which moment was the hardest to do and which one you loved the most?
D: One of my favourite moments was the scene with the parabatai oath because it was a very pure and honest scene. The hardest was the scene inside Jace’s mind.

Q:What did you learn from Jace ans what did Jace learn from you?
D: Jace learned that he should stay off for a day and chill out, I learned that I have to let people being part of my life.

Q:How have you being keeping up lately being in LA?
D: People usually think actors have a lot of parties but in reality we invest a lot of time in finding new parts.

Q:How do you recover from a day of work?
D: It truly is a recovery because after a full day at work we’re exhausted. I used to go out to dinner with Matt when we finished filming together.

Q:What’s your favourite (British) dish and what do you miss the most from the UK?
D: My favourite dish is the Sunday roast, my mum does the best one, and of course I miss my family the most.

Q: What’s your favourite brand of tea?
D: I like the tea very sweet and with milk. I don’t really miss it because I can find it here too.

Q:Which character would you have liked Jace to have more interactions with?
D: Meliorn. I really liked the scenes with him and Jade is amazing.

Q:What prompted Jace to be Alec’s parabatai?
D: I see parabatai as soulmates, like a missing piece of you. So when they realised that, being parabatai is the next step.

Q:What was it like playing Christian Ozera? And are there any similiarities with Jace?
D: I adored Vampire Academy and we had a lot of fun.

Q:If you could work with your cast mates, what project would it be?
D: Matt and I want to do space cowboys. 

Q:What is your favorite location among the places you have filmed in?
D: When I filmed Take Down we were in Wales, in the coast, and it was amazing. I’d love to work back home.

Q:Since it’s suicidal awareness month, what was your experience in Shadowhunters and has it made you more aware of your mental health?
D: It made me more profoundly aware about it, because suicide was a concept for Jace for a couple of times. On Shadowhunters the resolution was always the same, relying on your friends and family.

Q:What aspects of your character did you enjoy playing the most?
A: My character just kills everyone. But he wanted the best for his family.
D: Is that true? He tortured and murdered me. One my favorite scene with Alan was the one where Valentine kills Jace. In the script it was such an incredible scene and he stabs me through the heart with the soul sword, and then we get on set that day and they gave him a bottle knife and I thought “we’ve done two season and I’ve been nearly killed by thousand of different things and he’s gonna kill me with a bottle knife? That’s how Jace dies?”. The thing I liked the most is the money.
L: I liked that sometimes he was nice, sometimes he was crazy, and it was great.

Q:Would you have liked another season of the show?
D: Of course. We wanted to go on.
N: One of the sad things is how quick it they canceled the show. There were already a lot of conversations about what was going to happen next season, I was super excited about a lot of stuff. I’m very glad we were given the finale.
A: What surprised me the most was the reaction of the fans, with the hashtag “Save Shadowhunters”, the airplanes, subways, billboards.

Q:Is there any scene of Shadowhunters that was uncomfortable or difficult to shoot?
D: At the beginning of season two I remember reading the script and reading that I would have been tortured by Valentine and I was supposed to be naked. And that day I went to my trailer and I realized they were serious and it wasn’t a joke. But then the director went “you’re right, it’s weird”.
N: The only thing I found embarassing is that Maryse is a very classy lady and I’m not, I don’t use high heels or fancy clothes so I had to practice, walking back and forth with the heels, I fell down a lot of times.

Q:Who would be your favourite character to play and why?
D: James Bond. If any male British actor tells you they don’t want to play James Bond, they’re lying to you. In some point of my career I would like to play James Bond.

Q:Have you ever been called by your character’s name and what was your reaction?
D: Sometimes. I was out with a friend of mine in a gay bar and someone was staring at me and I heard them saying “that’s the guy who plays the gay guy on Penny Dreadful” or when I played the bad guy on “The Cut” and once someone told me “hey, you have to stop with you’re doing, you’re being a bad guy to those people” and I was so confused. I like when people recognise me but they don’t know from, so when they make eye contact they’re confused.

Q:Did you do anything weird during quarantine?
D: Not really, just surviving with my pets.

Q:You worked 6 months in Kenya, what did you do there?
D: When I was 18 I worked in the east coast of Kenya, I wanted to do something that benefits other people. When you get there they’ll assign you jobs and I worked in 3 separate orphanages. I was teaching, building, providing medical reliefs and whatever was needed.

Q:It’s inspiring to see someone so passionate about what they do as you, did you ever doubt if you wanted to do it anymore?
D: Yes, our field is so competitive, I lose jobs for a lot of reasons. There are times I ask myself why I am still doing this, why pushing it so much when I’m gonna lose for the wrong reasons? And for me the thing that keeps me going is that in my entire life there was only one thing I wanted to do, to be an actor and it means the world to me.

Q:Did you read the Shadowhunters books and what did you think about it?
D: I read the first one because I needed to understand the world, the scripts were really different from the books so for me it was to understand how the characters worked with each other. For example, if I read all the books I would have known that Jace wasn’t Valentine’s son and in your mind you conscience knows it when acting, so I avoided it. I have to learn how Jace learns and understands. 

Q:Are you a early bird or a night owl?
D: I’m not an early bird, I’m really bad in the mornings. I have to wake up when the dog wakes up but I don’t like it and I don’t like people waking me up at all.

Q:Favourite moment with Matt and favourite moment with Luke?
D: With Luke Baines was when Jonathan was inside Jace’s body and I had to act like Luke in this part and we sat down in a bar and discussed about it. With Matthew Daddario when he was about to tell me he’s engaged and because of the parabatai bond Jace already knew and that makes me happy.

Q: You have a lot of fight and training scenes in Shadowhunters, did you have any stage combat classes before?
D: In season one we had a stunt team and in season two we had a different stunt team, personally I felt like I had to cover my own martial arts so they taught me everything, working with them was amazing. There was a big change between season one and season two, Darren and his team elevated the fight scenes, the weapons, all.

Q: Do you miss the UK? And when you come back where do you leave your pets?
D: I haven’t been back to the UK since I got Dan so I didn’t have the opportunity to leave him. He stayed with my best friend a couple of times and he loves it. Rajah goes to a cat hotel which is ridiculous and expensive but she loves it. I miss home of course.

Q:What’s your favourite moment in Penny Dreadful?
D: The first time Michael and I kissed. We are two straight men unravelling something they were unfamiliar with, but Michael Gladis is such an amazing actor and such an incredibile person to be around that none of it felt odd. It was such a nice moment cause everything worked, I was with someone I was comfortable with, it was perfect.

Q: What was the most difficult thing to do in portraying Kurt in that period of history, being a nazi or being a gay man?
D: Gay man and women didn’t have the rights they should have had at that time and they weren’t respected the way they should have been still to these days. In 1938 it was illegal, so the scene where we had to go to the underground gay bar was beautiful because everyone could be who they are, doing that was obviously easier than the Nazi stuff, it was really hard work, difficult and something I completely disagree with. I had to think like him, a lot of times when I came home after work I had to cry and let my body get rid of all these feelings I had to feel on set.

Q:If your characters had to self isolate, what do you think they would be doing?
K: Clary would work on a rune to fix the whole situation.
M: I don’t think the Shadowhunters can get sick.
H: Magnus has seen a lot of other diseases so he knows about it.
D: We should have stolen masks from set. I had to wear a mask for the owl and when it rained I was almost drowning in it.

Q:When you signed for your role, did you know there was a big fandom?
K: I think we all knew from the books that the fandom was passionate but you did blow our minds.
M: I didn’t know. I found out later.
A: I dont think I knew before but after we got announced. 
H: It was incremental.
D: Everyone realised after, except for Kat.

Q:What did the show bring you personally?
K: A family.
M: Experience as actors, culture and the best fans.
H: It was cool to be part of a sci-fi show and how things happened there, how you could walk out and see someone dressed as an owl.
M: With wings?
D: No, it was like a trench coat.

Q:How long did it take to learn your lines and did you have any technique?
D: It depends cause sometimes they changed when we got on set.
H: If you know what the meaning of the lines is and what to say internally, it comes out even if sometimes you think you’ll forget them.

Q:What is the latest book you’ve read?
D: Do pamphlets count?
H: ”Night Man” by Brett Battles
K: “Beloved” by Toni Morrison
A: “The bluest eyes” by Toni Morrison
T: “The Library on Mount Char” by Scott Hawkins. 
M: Dom, do you prefer your books on tape or you listen to them?
D: ‘Cause I can’t read?
M: Do they describe the pictures to you?
D: No, I just color them and I do the characters’ voices.

Q:Which household chores do you hate the most?
D: The dog really likes the vacuuming robot while the cat hates it, it ends up being a battle.
M: Which do-it-yourself projects did you do during quarantine?
D: tables and a desk.
H: A soundproofing a room.
K: I built a treadmill.

Q:What’s your favourite underrated Clace scene?
K: The end of the episode where Jonathan glamoured as Jace, there was a lot of sweet scenes at the end, when they connected as people in a moment of calm before the craziness.
D: Here you go!

Q:Have you ever read any fan fiction?
D: I’ve read some, there was a weird period when there were fan fiction about me and Alexandra Daddario and we always got tagged in them and I didn’t understand where it came from, it was really weird. It was about her character in Percy Jackson and Jace. But I haven’t read any fan fiction about our characters.
K: I haven’t either.

Q:On a satisfaction scale between 1 and 10, where are you right now?
D: 11. Its tough to not be happy when you have a golden retriever wrapped around you.
K: 9, because it’s awesome with you but I wish it could happen in person.

Q:Did you steal anything from the set?
D: Yes, a lot of stuff. So much stuff. Everything I could get my hands on. At the wrap party I was pretty drunk and my dad was me and I wanted to show him a thing in Jace’s room but it was locked, I kicked the door and got all things on myself, my dad asked “what are you doing?” and a security guard came and told me I shouldn’t be there.
K: I didn’t steal anything. I was given the Clary’s art figure signed by the crew.

Q:What was the most difficult scene to shoot?
D: The scene in Jace’s mind. I had to cry for hours and I went home exhausted.
K: For the same reason, it was the Lake Lynn stuff for me.

Q:What was the biggest challenge playing these character?
K: I don’t think it’s ever easy, especially in worlds like these, but we were lucky to have an amazing team and we got along together quickly.
D: I agree.

Q:How many steeles did you break?
D: In season one they were poorely made and I broke 13, one per episode. And in season two I stop having them, because I broke so many. But in the books Cassie wrote Jace plays with his steele when he’s nervous so I did the same, but every time one fell it broke.
K: I had one in my back pocket and I it snapped when I sat down.

Q:If you could write a scene for Clace, what would it be?
K: Seen the end of the show, to see them going back to the institute and to see Clary not understanding things while having to learn things from day one and start over again.
D: And see for how long Jace can be patient.

Q:If you could choose any scene that was in the book but not on the show, what would you choose?
K: The battle scene in book 6 with the Endarkened, it would have been amazing to shoot and to see on screen.
D: You talked a lot about the war and I’d have loved to shoot that.

Q:How long did take fight scenes to shoot and did any of you get injured?
K: We didn’t really have much rehearsal time in the scene with Clary and Aline. 
D: I got hurt a couple of times. In the fight with Simon, Alberto didn’t have any experience but he was annoyingly amazing, He broke one of my knuckles in that scene, I broke one of my tendon in my ankle in season one and half a tooth on the same day.

Q:How do you prepare yourself for a character that is from different from yourself?
D: I write a journal from a point of view of the character and it helps me explore how they think. I wanted to do it with Kurt but I realised these weren’t right things to write down in public so I started doing it privately. They have hundreds and hundreds of pages.
K: For dark Clary, I started thinking with Jonathan’s mind.

Q:Dom, how’s the relationship with Bob?
D: I don’t like him. People who knows me, know that I hate one thing: dummies and wax figures. I’m scared of them.

Q: If you and your characters were teachers, what would you teach?
D: Jace teaches martial arts, I’d teach animal training.
K: Clary would teach art and I would teach maths.

Q:Would you like to act in a foreign movie or show and would you be able to learn a new language for work?
D: That would be amazing, it also depends on the language because I don’t think I would be so great at mandarin in a short time in a movie. All these cool skills like martial arts and languages are amazing.
K: I’d love that, a dream come true.

Q: If you could add just one more scene to each other’s characters what would you like to see?
D: Someone invented a rune to make Alec loses all his coordination and he’s really clumsy and would walk into things all the time. 
M: It would be great for Jace to get what he really deserves, which is to find the love and life he always wanted and not to be suffering all the time. 

Q:If you could only visit one place in the world where would it be and why?
D: My favorite place that we visited together was Snake Creek.
M: The best place to visit is where the people you love are; for Dom it would be London because of the proximity to the people he loves.

Q:Since both of you use an arrow on screen, which one of you shoot best?
D: I have the archery set in my garage, next time you’re in Los Angeles we’ll see. I’m waiting for Kat to send me a video, because she and a couple of her friends  were around for July 4th and we hung a lime in front of my archery target and I nailed it with an arrow.

Q:If Alec and Jace had to be in lockdown together what would irritate each other the most?
M: Alec likes thing in a certain way and Jace doesn’t.
D: Agreed. I think it would be the same with Matt and Dom.

Q:A song you always listen to and you never get sick of?
D: Matt’s is ‘Babe I’m gonna leave you’ by Led Zeppelin. Mine is 'Danger Zone’ by Kenny Loggins. Doesn’t matter what the opportunity is, I will listen to it. 

Q:Which role do you prefer to play and do you have any advice for someone who wants to start acting at 30?
D: It doesn’t really matter, I just like doing it. The difference between Shadowhunters and Penny Dreadful was huge, same as Vampire Academy and Take Down. Advice: make sure that you love it and it’s really your dream to do because it’s a hard business.

Q:What have you learned from your parents about life?
D: Everything. My dad told me to be patient and my mom told me about how to be supported influence in somebody’s life.

Q:What are the most important lessons you’ve learned from playing Kurt and Jace?
D: From Kurt I’ve tried to understand how that level of intolerance creeps into people’s life and how the right side is and the wrong side is. And it’s the opposite for Jace, that love can defeat anything, not just romantic but also for your friends and family.

Q:Can you talk about the workout routine to transform you into Jace?
D: I don’t love going to the gym but in this job we had to be in a shape. The first couple of weeks were really brutal. When you have to transform your body type the food is so boring! Everything that tastes good is not good for you. Nuno (@nuno_salles) was a good guy and it’s good to have someone you can trust.

Q:Do you have a bucket list? And if you do, what’s on it?
D: I do, but it’s not something I think about very often. I went skydiving in Vegas and it was definitely something I wanted to do but it’s not a tangible thing of things I want to do.

Q:Do you like to be famous?
D: I hate it. I really value my privacy so if I could do this job anonymously, I would. But at the same time the opportunity to meet people like you and talk to you wouldn’t exist without notoriety. So it’s like a balance. I don’t really like people taking photo without my consent, so when it happens on the street I would approach whoever it is and say I’d be very happy to take a photo but with my permission. I think it’s normal. I adore doing conventions so it’s a real balance between these two.

Q:Would you like to live in the USA forever or would you like to go back to the UK?
D: I miss the UK a lot, but I love California as well. I can ski, there’s the ocean, the desert. But I do miss home and I was supposed to be back a couple of months ago. But I really enjoy travelling and I like to balancing it out. I live where the work is and right now it’s in Los Angeles.

Q: Is there a movie or a tv show that you watch over and over again?
D: The simpsons, the ones from ‘90s and early 2000, and also friends.

Q:In shadowhunters which was the hardest thing to portray being Jace?
D: The really emotional and vulnerable part. The episode in Jace’s mind was really though.

Q:What do you miss mostly about the UK?
D: Sometimes I miss the rain, because we don’t get it very often here. But firstly, family and friends. Q: do you have a bad habit? D: I smoke and I shouldn’t, but I’m gonna kick it out as soon as I can.

Q:Where’s your fancy dress?
D: I completely forgot. Maybe I’m fancy dressed from the waist down, but you can’t see it. Q: any tattoos that you’re planning? D: I little one on my forearm and then I’m done. In Penny Dreadful I had to cover all my tattoos and I had to shave for it, and just covering them took an extra 2 hours in the hair and makeup trailer and it wouldn’t come off because it was water resistant.

Q:How have you been during lockdown?
D: It’s been tricky especially here in California where it doesn’t seem to slow down. You have to stay as communicative as possibile. You have to find the things that make you happy.

Q:When you started any shows, did you expect a global success?
D: Yes I expect an Oscar for every performance I do, even if it’s tricky with shadowhunters since they don’t give them to tv shows. You hope it to be successful but you can never know. I realised I was quite popular in the UK when they stopped my brother at a theme park asking if he was me, because he looks like me a lot.

Q:How does a script have to be for you to say “wow, I really want to do this”?
D: It depends. It’s not the subject that matters but how it is written. If I can read a script in a short time it means it was really good, but if I get distracted during reading it isn’t.

Q:Can we expect new music from you?
D: No, music really isn’t my thing. The only thing that came out was because my friends and I were drunk and thought it could be a good idea.

Q: Which of the actors you’ve played with helped you grow the most both personally and professionally?
D: All of them have helped me. Isaiah (@isaiahmustafa) had a big impact of me, especially later on. He’s an incredibly talented, empathetic and intelligent human being. Listening to what he has to say, especially because he has more experience than me, and getting information from him was helpful to me as a person. In a specific moment he really helped me knowing who I wanted to be in my future.

Q:Once the situation is over, what will you do?
D: Travel. I’ll go home as soon as I can.

Q:If you had to sit down with your fans, what’s the biggest general advice you’d give them?
D: Please stop getting my handwriting tattooed on your body. I’ve such a bad handwriting and tattoos are forever! That is my number 1 piece of advice.
