1) Adrian Lyles
Adrian Lyles has made it on this list for good reason! This young actor’s vocals, charismatic flair, and acting skills have made his interview highly-anticipating.

4) Benjamin Norris
Never Have I Ever has made waves on Netflix in 2020, and Season 3 had just debuted in August of this year! And what better way to talk about Season 3’s release than with Benjamin Norris, who stars as Trent Harrison? Actor, writer, and producer, the talented Benjamin tells us about his experience as Trent, and how much of an impact his character had made on the show in Season 3. A few things to note that were interesting about his experience as Trent, it was Benjamin himself who decided to add a few choices on Trent’s character, such as his comedy relief and the hairstyle. If you enjoy the show and wish to learn more about Benjamin’s involvement in the show, from his experience as Trent to what else Benjamin might have contributed to Trent in the show, you can watch his interview here:

7) Elias Kacavas
Season 3 of Euphoria is on its way in 2023, and Elias Kacavas sat down with us in an interview about his experience on the show, his role as young Cal, and what his role is like. Now, while that interview is more informative, he had another interview that is a tad different. How is it different, you might ask? Well, the 90s trivia! Young Cal’s time was centered around the 90s, and so YEM had played a small, round of trivia with Elias about his knowledge about the 90s! It was fun to talk and quiz Elias about 90s pop culture, ranging from topics such as Power Rangers and Friends. If you want to know the results of his trivia, be sure to check out the quiz and his interview right here:

We had another interview with Anthony, but this one was a tad different compared to his other interview.

This doesn’t stop there, as Anthony also talks about his time with his fellow castmates and what they would most likely do too!
