When I auditioned for the show, I didn't realize it was an MTV production, which is going to make for really good tunes during the episodes, if nothing else. ↗
I had been doing summer stock every summer while I was in college. We did a showcase, like most good conservatories do - monologues and things that agents and casting directors come to see. From that I got an agent. ↗
Many have been with the show for years, and they have sources in the business, so we do know things, but until it is verified, we don't run with the story. ↗
The writers have slowly taken the show, with subjects other gay shows have dived right into, slowly. It was over a year before Will even started to date. ↗
