Michael Willett talks to myFanbase about his character Shane on the MTV hit series FAKING IT
When people first heard about the plot of "Faking It" there was a lot of backlash, but the show handles confusing sexuality in such a sensitive, sweet and funny way. How much did you know about all of that when you joined the project?
I didn't know much about the show initially, I was mostly drawn to my character. He was stylish and effortless, confident and popular. Which was refreshing after playing a wallflower in "G.B.F."
"Faking It" kinda takes the stereotypes that we're so used to and flips them. What was high school like for you? How do you relate to the show?
Hester High is a "school from the future" so my high school experience was obviously very different. What's cool about "Faking It" is that we're able to celebrate the school's progressive ideals without taking ourselves too seriously.
