TVLINE | Tell us about the young lover you’re playing on Melissa & Joey.
Melissa meets [my character] George at a small business association get-together. He’s a young designer with a bunch of ideas that he goes to her with, and they quickly hit it off. They start dating and he’s much younger than her, so she fibs about her age. Somewhere in the middle of their tryst, Melissa has to tell him how old she really is and is worried that he’ll care, but he ends up not caring at all because at that point he really likes her.
TVLINE | But you’re only signed on for three episodes, so how does it all wrap up? Any chance you’ll return?
It ends in a sweet way, and George could definitely come back. At least I think so. [Laughs]
TVLINE | What’s the dynamic between George and Joey, given the latter’s vested interest in Melissa?
Joey’s hard on him for being so young, but George actually goes to him for some sound business advice. He also gets a little advice about dating Melissa. And that’s the extent of their involvement with each other.
TVLINE | Greek certainly had tons of comedic clout, but it was so different than the multi-cam/live audience vibe that Melissa & Joey has to offer. Was that part of the allure?
I’d never done multiple episodes of a multi-cam show, so when ABC Family came to me about this role, I wanted to be able to do an arc in that format. I took the job and it turned out to be a really amazing experience. And I would definitely do it again.
