Entertainment Spotlight: Daren Kagasoff

Daren Kagasoff, who you may know as Ricky on Secret Life of the American Teenager, is working on a new project. The Village, a show about residents of a Brooklyn apartment building who become each others’ found family. Darren plays Gabe, a young law student trying to juggle law school and his elderly grandfather who has moved in with him. We asked him a few questions about fandom, The Village, and his perfect dog, Kidy.

Are you a super fan of anything?

I’m a super fan of the television series, Ray Donovan. I have been watching since the first season, and that is the only show I watch religiously. The entire cast is phenomenal.

Without any spoilers, what scene or episode of The Village are you most excited for fans to see?

I’m excited for people to see episode seven. You will see a new side of Gabe that even surprises me. He is no longer afraid to do the right thing, even if it is against what his father wants. You see a change in him that he never thought would have been possible.

What would you tell your dog, Kidy, if she understood you for one minute?

Well, the funny thing is that Kidy understands everything that comes out of my mouth. Even if I’m talking about math equations…she knows the answer.

How did you prepare for your role in The Village?

My preparation for The Village was pretty simple. I reached out to a few of my law school friends to get a grasp on how they felt balancing school with their personal lives. Each one of them was extremely overwhelmed. Their experiences helped me understand Gabe‘s mindset no matter what the scene required.
