He did want to get into TV (though he misses theatre and hopes to find a balance between screen and stage) and he got Supergirl because that year he had decided to go down to LA for Pilot season to see if anything worked out

He was originally turned down for the part of Winn by CBS, after both the audition and chemistry reading with Melissa. So Greg Berlanti called him back about a week before production began as they hadn’t found any other Winn and basically said ‘We loved you but CBS said no. So we’re offering you a guest star role to film the pilot, after which they will fall in love with you too and your contract will be extended to season regular.’ Which is what happened.

He both doesn’t know what a fidget spinner is and is easily distracted by them

He was originally in the readings for Bandstand but couldn’t do it for Supergirl reasons. He said it was hard going to see it the other week, because it was something he’d had to let pass.

He listens to podcasts while working out because it’s easier to forget what he’s doing when he’s concentrating on something else

He sang the opening of the Circle of Life at the panel on Saturday. I don’t have that recorded but I did get the snippet he sang of Once and For All in the panel today, Sunday. While he looked very embarrassed.

The gag reel this year should be amazing, ‘if they do it justice’. Because maybe JJ at least knows that when we say gag reel we mean we want to see the reels of footage of them screwing around on set.

His advice for aspiring actors continues to be: take chances and find what works for you, to make you stand out
