“A friend made me aware of an amazing little site [RAF.com] that someone has put together of me. I’m not sure who, but rest assured, I’m thoroughly flattered and embarrassed. Take a look if you’re interested. If not, well, I don’t like you either. Seriously though, they did a great site putting together, so thank you.”

“Charles, being in the position that he is in, feels like an outsider, he always is, and he doesn’t really develop relationships that easily but he sees something in her [Cassie] and pursues her.”

“The fun thing about playing Charles is that he’s still in high school and he’s growing and learning but he’s not like how I was in high school. I think he’s a lot more courageous.”

“When I was growing up and watching shows like this I’d see characters and I’d see myself in their shoes and now it’s interesting being on the opposite end.”

“Charles goes for what he wants. He may be embarrassed or a little scared but he still does it. I’m kind of interested to see how other people relate to him.”

“I wasn’t too sure of myself in high school and I escaped by doing theater. I played sports and stuff like that but I was kind of shy until I let go and I wasn’t.”

“Erica is a treat. She’s hilarious. She’s really adorable and very upbeat — always has this big smile on her face. It was interesting seeing the way she worked and learning from her, because this is my first TV series. TV works a little bit differently and she just brings so many things to the table all of the time. It’s really fun to work with her.”

“What I notice about the show is that it’s a middle class American family that a broad audience can relate to. Life is not easy and it’s the same for Eddie and his family. He’s a cop and he’s got it rough and he doesn’t make it any easier by moving into a rougher neighborhood but he takes it upon himself. I think him taking that risk and still managing to maintain a good family relationship is something that a lot of people are going to respond to.”

“I don’t think my parents really expected me to pursue acting. I didn’t really expect it. It just kind of happened and I’m enjoying the ride.”

“The summer before my senior year I auditioned for the Shakespeare Festival. I had ridiculous stage fright and I was just trying to get rid of it. I was hoping they’d give me some part on the side, but they cast me as Othello. I was off the wall nervous. But after doing it I fell in love with the whole process. I ended up going to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and doing some more theater.”

“At first I wanted to be basketball player but then I didn’t grow past 5′10. Then I wanted to be a tennis player and I worked really hard at that but I’m not that good.”

“If I wasn’t acting I would pursue singing. My mom and everyone on her side of the family were professional singers. I didn’t start until later but its something that I really enjoy.”

“I love standards. I guess that’s weird for a 21 year old to say. I should probably say Justin Timberlake or something. But I listen to Michael Buble constantly – a little more than I should. I love standards and jazz.”

“I seriously think that he’s [Christian Bale] the best actor on the planet. Ever since I saw him in”Empire of the Sun” when I was a little kid, everything I’ve seen him in I’m completely amazed by.”

“I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Utah’s my home.”

“It’s been the roughest three years of my life. It’s been a quick growing-up experience just to try to live out here [L.A.] on my own and get work and everything.”

“At one point, I had four jobs. I was sleeping on the couch. I’ve been homeless a couple of times. Nothing too big — I’m not trying to make it out to be something that it’s not. But it’s been a rough trip. But it’s turned out to be such a blessing. And to see my parents happy for me has been just fantastic.”

“Charles is a guy who, in a lot of ways is, I think, a lot more courageous than I was growing up. He sees a relationship with a girl that he wants to pursue, and he goes for it, and he doesn’t hold anything back. And those are kinds of qualities I still lack.”

“I went in and read for it [Lincoln Heights]. I got called back, and I was actually kind of shocked because I didn’t think I did very well. And then I went back and read for it again. And I was at home in Utah, and I got a call that they wanted me for it.”

“It’s been really surreal, to tell you the truth. It wasn’t really like, ‘Oh, yeah! Now I’m really excited and now things are going to take off!’ It was like, ‘Oh, yes! Now I get work and I get to pay my rent,’ and stuff like that.”

“I’m the kind of person, I don’t really see the big picture until it all comes together. And now that it’s been put together, I’m, like, ‘Wow. This was a really big deal.’ And I was just trying to focus on doing good work.”

“I was just embraced, and that’s a good feeling. Especially out here. You don’t get that a lot. You get the cold shoulder and you still have to go up and do your work, and you have to do it well. And it’s a lot easier when people have your back.”

“I’m really shocked by the response that I’m getting because I’ve never had this much attention. I don’t know how to put that, but I really have never had this much attention.”

“I really love the family aspect and just the way the show [Lincoln Heights] deals with the issues; it’s so natural.”

“I don’t get to work with Eddie [Russell Hornsby] a lot, most of my scenes are comprised of Erica and I. There was an intense scene with him and I was having a hard time with it. Eddie is a really intense actor and he pulled me to the side and worked with me on the scene. It turned out to be a really powerful and beautiful scene. It was almost me telling him he was a racist for telling me I couldn’t date his daughter. That was a really memorable scene.”

“There was another one with Erica when she broke into tears during a scene. I had never really seen her and I connect that way. I don’t know if I can tell too much of the storyline but it was really nice to find that connection. Just going through the show and working with the other actors and finding our comfort zone.”

“In the beginning our director was pretty adamant about the two of us keeping our distance. He wanted to evolve it in a really natural way. He wanted it to be a bit awkward, the way a young teenage couple would. We attempted that at first but Erica and I hit it off and get along really well. We’re always joking around on set and the chemistry evolved really nicely. We’re really good friends and it wasn’t difficult to find the chemistry.”

“I think that it [Lincoln Heights] deals with a subject matter that hits home to a lot of families across America. It’s not really sugarcoated, it is what a lot of families in America have to deal with. They are mostly middle class American families trying to get by and do the best for their family.”

“It’s obviously television and it’s not going to always be completely realistic. In a way, that’s our escape, and there are a lot of messages in the show that families can relate to and get involved in. I think in a way it allows people to have hope for their own family and it teaches their kids certain values that are important.”

“Charles is an army brat and he just moved into the neighborhood. It’s his first day of school and I immediately notice Cassie, Erica Hubbard’s character. I notice her and am kind of interested in her. From there our relationship starts to develop. Charles, being in the position that he is in, feels like an outsider, he always is, and he doesn’t really develop relationships that easily, but he sees something in her and pursues her. He’s into cars, and right now he’s just starting to become part of Cassie’s family.”

“The fun thing about playing Charles is that he’s still in high school and he’s growing and learning, but he’s not like how I was in high school. I think he’s a lot more courageous. When I was growing up and watching shows like this I’d see characters and I’d see myself in their shoes, and now it’s interesting being on the opposite end. Charles goes for what he wants. He may be embarrassed or a little scared but he still does it. I’m kind of interested to see how other people relate to him.”

“There aren’t really many family dramas on TV right now. But what I notice about the show is that it’s a middle-class American family that a broad audience can relate to. Life is not easy, and it’s the same for Eddie and his family. He’s a cop and he’s got it rough, and he doesn’t make it any easier by moving into a rougher neighborhood, but he takes it upon himself. I think him taking that risk and still managing to maintain a good family relationship is something that a lot of people are going to respond to.”

“I think Lincoln Heights has taken a unique turn, one that I hope, but to be honest, have no doubt the audience will respond positively to. The show, to be frank, just gets better and better every season.”

“My expectations have certainly been taken for a spin. The writers have definitely chosen a direction that will be a surprise. I’ve been saying through the course of shooting,”What are you guys cookin’ up?” Everything was a constant surprise, whereas, last season I kind of had an idea of the specific direction of the character, without knowing of course, the exact details of the content. It opens the door, creatively, as well as through the eyes of the audience to experience that shocked, cliffhanger sort of feeling.”

“Donnie was an interesting character to play. I’ve never played a character with absolutely no redeeming qualities. That’s the way I wanted to portray him at least. I would love to think that in this world people learn their lesson and grow, but unfortunately, I’ve come to realize that some people really are just too dense.”

“I would love to have the opportunity to produce/direct, but I feel like I should get my feet a little more wet in my first passion, which is acting.”

“I grew up in UT and am from a family of six. I have five beautiful and wonderful older sisters and the best mom and dad a guy could ask for.”

“I started acting when I was a senior in High School as a way of eleviating my fear of public speaking. I ended up doing every play my senior year and the following year attending The American academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles.”

“Lincoln Heights has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. I’ve learned so much as a person and actor. And I have a profound respect for the story, the characters and the message they relay. One thing unique about my character has been his journey has never been set in stone. For me and I’m sure for the writers it makes him interesting to portray, because you never know what you’re gonna get.”

“I loved taking my character down a very dark and lonely path. I had a very strong emotional connection with Charles in that episode [2x9], and I truly felt that it was a story that I needed to portray as honest as I possibly could. The subject matter had to do with sexual abuse.”

“PPP was a f***ing blast! It was so beautiful there. One of my favorite things to do as an actor is to travel and re-invent in a brand new enviornment. Demi and Selena were great and I loved getting to know them. Demi’s my little buddy, we really hit it off, and me and Nicky Braun will be friends forever.”

“I’m working on a film right now called the Prankster and I play a character who is a high school jock who really wants to be a musician. This is a guy that I can really relate with. I would like to think that I understand personal change and growth and the essence of finding one’s true self, and so far it’s been an exciting character to play.”

“Every year when the premiere rolls around, I get so nervous. I’m just like,”Oh, I just don’t know what’s going to happen.” But every year, we seem to increase the numbers, which is kind of unheard of for a television show. It just keeps on getting more and more viewers. I think it just is a testament to the writing and the story as it just gets better as we grow and sort of like find where we sit as far as with the story we want to tell and all that.”

“Some shows come out with a big bang and have a huge following and our show just had this progressive sort of cult following and I honestly prefer it that way. It keeps the suspense opened.”

“I’d say that this year is definitely going to be a sort of coming of age story for everybody. I think everybody’s just trying to figure out who they are and what they want and maybe make some mistakes along the way. But as far as Cassie and Charles goes I don’t know, you’ll never know, I guess you just got to watch to find out.”

“My high school experience sucked. So it’s especially a lot more fun to play it on TV. I don’t know, it’s kind of hard, I think it’s a little difficult to step into the shoes of the mentality of a 16/17-year old being a little older and more mature. But you do experience a lot of fun things. I think I’ve been to the prom or like a homecoming dance like six times or something since I’ve been an actor.”

“I think that the suspense is a make or break for television. I think that you’ve got to throw those kinds of curve balls at people; get people a little on edge, because it keeps them interested. I mean, I think having intense episodes like that where you’re not really sure what’s going to happen. Just take a break from I’d say the mundane, the average everyday sort of life drama. It allows you to separate yourself from reality. I think that kind of stuff absolutely helps Lincoln Heights and its viewers.”

“What we’re seeing on Lincoln Heights is something that’s very unique in television. It really is. Usually shows come off with a lot of hype, and a network will go through incredible lengths to get audience viewers to tune in. They go through the promotions and the advertising, and Lincoln Heights has really been a show that’s grown from word of mouth and it just keeps on progressively getting more and more viewers, which basically says that it’s not one of those shows that just came out of the woodworks and hit really hard. It’s one of those things where people started watching it and so then they started telling their friends about it and they started telling their friends about it and as they started to watch it, they’ve I think connected with the show and the story and as opposed to losing audience, we’re just continually gaining an audience. I think that’s incredible. I really am so happy that that’s the situation.”

“In the beginning I had no idea where Charles was going or where he fit into the whole picture, as far as the Heights and everything. As the story progressed and almost just like a real life story, you learn and you grow and you figure out who you are and where you fit into the bigger picture. It’s been like one of those experiences where it’s like,”Oh, okay, I understand now, I understand what my role is; what my part in this whole story-telling process is,” and it’s just been a learning and growing experience.”

“It blows you away when I see the numbers come in. I mean, you should have seen me when I heard about the ratings for the opener, I was like a giddy little school girl. Because, we live in L.A. and it’s hard to really get a feel for what the audience is thinking and feeling and what they’re going through and to really understand how many people are watching this show and being affected by it. For me, it’s like I wake up in the morning, I go to the grocery store, go to the bookstore, live my life, and then I don’t really hear about it. A lot of people I talk to they say,”I’ve heard of that, I don’t really watch a lot of TV though.” So it’s unbelievable. It’s really such a cool blessing to be able to know that there are people out there watching the show, watching our work, and enjoying it.”

“I would like to think that if I do my job well and tell an honest story that people will respond to it in a positive way. I hope that I’m not giving out a negative message. I don’t know, I never really thought about myself as a role model. I don’t really think of myself that way, but I definitely hope that we’re portraying characters that people do look up to, I hope so.”

“We’re all human and even our characters have our positives and our negatives and our flaws and the things that make us human and I think people can just realize that hopefully we’ll be able to help them accept who they are and the choices in their lives. We’re all human.”

“It’s interesting playing a character like this. I think the experiences in Charles life that I can absolutely relate with and a lot that I can’t, in high school, I wasn’t in a relationship. But I think that there are a lot of experiences that just definitely resonate with me. I think the way that I know that I’m not really a lot like Charles is that I’ve been me for 23 years and I’m still trying to figure me out I guess. But I think I’ve got a pretty solid foundation as far as Charles goes, I don’t know what he’s going to do and that’s an interesting experience in just working with the writers and then they throw a curve ball at me, and I’m like,”No, would Charles do that?” And I think to myself, I have no idea what Charles would do. I think as he grows, I grow with him and I get to learn like his experiences and I’m kind of just riding on that wave. I learned to just let it go, like Charles is going to do what ever he’s, I don’t even know anymore, I think he does some things this year that I was like,”Really.” And then I said,”I can think about it, you know the kids 17.” You have no idea what he’s going to do.”

“Last year, talking about my father, my stepfather being sexually abusive, that was definitely a very intense subject to take on. Here’s the thing about subject matter like that, I don’t think that you can take on subject matter like that without being honest with it and without trying to portray something real, because if you do, your kind of doing it a disservice. It’s such a real situation that kids go through that I prefer that showing something like that on TV that people can really relate with, I’d say that was definitely the hardest experience that I’ve had to date on the show.”

“Donny is just a very narcissistic kind of guy. He has an unrequited love relationship with everybody – he just doesn’t know it. He thinks that everyone loves him, but they don’t.”
“It’s fun to take [the role] to extreme lengths. I think everyone in high school knows this guy. He lives on Daddy’s boat and lives off Daddy’s dock. He thinks he’s got everything going. And it’s fun portraying [him]. It’s almost a justifiable reason for me to give back to everybody that has seen that guy and [hated him].”

“I love doing comedies. I play a regular on a drama, but I have to do a comedy at least once a year to get myself out of that. It’s more technique and less emotions.”
