How did you come up with that?

I love David Bowie and Freddie Mercury.

What's the nerdiest thing about you in real life? Like, do you have anything about you that's like secretly really geeky?

I knit and I crochet. Does that count?

You knit? Are you serious?

Yeah.

Do you have any crushes?

Oh, yeah, the only one. You're 'cause you're on this big show.

Yeah.

And and um we just we have a good time.

So what's your favorite part about playing your character?

I feel like Georgie and Missy kind of relate a little bit because they act the same sometimes, you know? Like they talk back to their mother and stuff like that. For Georgie, it is really embarrassing to have a brother that is a lot smarter than him, in the same grade. And basically embarrasses him in front of all his friends and stuff.

We didn't have any Not any sometime Major fights. It's like, not any major fights. Cut to! It's really nice to be on a big hit. That's for sure. And it's really nice to be part of the Chuck Lorre world. There's little interference. They're very much in charge of the creative lives of their shows. It seems to me. We've just been gobsmacked by the reaction we've gotten and and to and to have, you know, that loyal fan base kinda welcome us into the fold has has been so wonderful.

So what do your friends and your family think about this?

Oh, they think it's really great. They are super proud of me. My family watches it every week and they message me and call me about a million times a day, telling me how good I did, how good I- Oh, so annoying. Yeah, yeah.
