TWIST: What can our readers expect from your new show Hollywood Heights?
Cody: Hollywood Heights is an exciting show with unexpected twists and turns. There is a lot of drama and romance which I think viewers will find compelling. Not to mention, being that Hollywood Heights revolves around a music competition, people can expect some amazing performances tied within the show's storyline.
T: Can you tell us about your character Eddie and how you relate to him?
C: Eddie and I are very similar in that family always comes first for the both of us and that our greatest passion in life is to inspire others through our art.
T: How did you become interested in acting?
C: I grew up in a very artistic family, so performing always came naturally. I loved watching movies. Jim Carrey's role in The Mask really inspired me to give acting a shot, as I was drawn to the diversity he brought to the character. It was in high school though when I really got into acting and started performing in local stage productions.
T: Your character Eddie, who is famous, develops a close friendship with Loren, who is a big fan of Eddie's. Would you ever date a fan?
C: Yes, I would date a fan - as long as I'm a fan of hers!
T: What do you look for in a girl?
C: Honesty and truth!! I also look for a girl who I can laugh, cry, sing, and do the "Twist" with. It's also an added bonus if they are cute and can love my dog as well.
T: What is the craziest thing you've ever done for a girl?
C: I rented out an entire bowling alley for a date! I turned off all the lights at the alley and lined our particular lane with candles so she wouldn't get a gutter ball.
T: Why should our readers absolutely turn into Hollywood Heights?
C: I think readers should tune into the show because it has a little bit of something for everyone. Hollywood Heights is different than other shows because it has a very edgy storyline but still stays family-oriented. The writers did a really great job of balancing the two. I also think people will be able to relate to the characters and become invested in their stories.
T: Awesome! Thanks Cody!
C: Thank you, TWIST!
