I sent my tape within an hour and the next day I got a call telling me that Darren and Lily Collins wanted to talk to me. I had them on video for an hour, and right after I got a call telling me that I was going to Paris.“

“I’m a real fan of the show so if there’s a season 3 whether I’m in it or not I would watch it no matter what.“, he confided to us, a mischievous smile on his lips …
