So, high school me: my favorite band was?
Can I say artist?
Yeah sure.
Lady Gaga.
Oh and she inspired you to go into acting, right?
Yeah.
"Gaga rum-ma-ma" sorry. wait, keep going, I really enjoyed this.
Wait, keep going here. I really enjoy this. Don't even get me started.
Hey guys, it's Audrey in the Young Hollywood studio joined by Dylan Minnette and
Katerine Langford from Netflix's "13 Reasons Why".
You guys are so welcome here, Hi.
So are you.
But I'm the guest.
Yes, you are, you are the guest.
Welcome back actually, Dylan, because you've been here before.
I have, yeah.
Kathryn is a noob.
Yeah.
Yes.
What do you think?
I love it, this is this is the most fun, like, colorful, overstimulating, like, set I've
ever been, but in a good way.
A lot of incredible buzz about this show.
A lot of it generated by none other than Selena Gomez, aka your Executive Producer.
What's it like to take on a project like this with someone like her backing it up?
I mean, it's big, right?
There's a lot of responsibility, I guess, because she bought the rights at this book
almost 10 years ago, so she's been trying to get this made into either a series or some
sort of production for a long time now.
This show, the story, not exactly light-hearted.
It's some pretty serious stuff.
Why do you think it's important to bring this story to light?
Yeah, I think we cover like a lot of, um, issues that are really relevant in the show,
and I feel like a lot of, a lot of series and a lot of films have often, that like that
often target, like, teenage life or young adult issues, often do it in a way that just
feels like kind of unrealistic or romanticizes it or, you know, they'll use things as a plot device.
We're not condescending to anyone, we're not like talking down, it's, you know, it's just real.
Katherine, for you, I mean, if you guys haven't guessed it, she's not exactly from here.
She's, you're from Perth in Australia, and you had kind of a whirlwind getting here,
actually, and getting the role.
What was that like?
I did my test for Tom Mccarthy, like my test for network, over Skype, and then two days
later I got the call, which was like, "cool, you've got the job, but bad news, we've got
to try and get you on a flight in like 10 days without having ever done anything."
and so, like, I got a call, I think it was like Friday morning, saying "you're leaving
on Saturday at 3 a.m." and Dylan, do you just hop on a plane for an hour?
I'm on, like, a 45-minute flight away, was really difficult, you should have, I mean,
Katherine's complaining and I, you see what I had to go through.
I mean.
It's really close to my home.
Gosh, Katherine.
I felt really bad when we filmed because I can, on the weekends, I could fly home and
do things, and then I would leave and be like "Im so sorry, Katherine, I feel bad that
you can't go home".
I'm like, "stop apologizing."
Well she would always welcome to go to LA, right?
I was, to be honest, like, I think, on the weekends, like, I was a bit of a lame-o, but
I kind of decked out my apartment.
Not really, but I, the first thing I did is, I bought a bed and I bought a piano, and so,
like, most of my weekends consisted-- You bought a piano?
Not like a really fancy one, because, like, I'm not like that, but like I bought one from--
Wait, what was that?
This.
Well you can't do this in Australia, because we don't have, like, dollar bills.
It's only like-- this is true, yeah.
You have very heavy coins.
Yeah.
It's really irritating.
T here's still some in my wallet.
Weighing it down.
Yes, yes.
Ping, ping.
Just throw.
Exactly.
Well, because this show centers on high school, and you guys are actually not that far out
of high school.
I mean, I feel like a lot of us, we never really leave high school in a lot of ways,
Right?
Okay, so I wanted to play a little game called "High School me", and it's a fill-in-the-blank
game, so you guys just, just fill in these blanks.
so, High School me.
my favorite band was?
Can I say artist?
Yeah, sure.
Lady Gaga.
Oh and she inspired you to go into acting, right?
Yeah.
"Gaga rum-ma-ma" sorry.
Wait, keep going, I'm really enjoyed this.
Don't even get me started.
Yeah, what about you, Dylan?
Um, I don't have a thing to do, but Arcade Fire.
Oh okay, yeah. That makes sense, you're fronting your own band, the Narwhals.
Great, great band name, by the way.
Well, I appreciate that, but the Narwhals are sadly no more.
Oh my gosh.
We've taken up--
R.I.P. the Narwhals.
We've taken up a new identity, though, which will be kind of out there soon.
Yeah.
High School me had a crush on?
My first celebrity crush was Orlando Bloom as Legolas.
I was 6 years old. Yeah. And that was like, "you."
Current me has a crush on Legolas.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that never goes away.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's be real.
Dylan, anybody?
It's kinda hard. I didn't even go to High-- I did like a...
I can't even keep track of my high school years really because it was kind of a...
Was there an on-set tutor you liked or some?
Definitely not, definitely not. um, I, this is, I'm so boring, I can't, I can't really answer this question.
You guys were so serious and so focused in High School, you didn't have any crushes.
I, academics, school, that's it.
It's my life.
All the way.
What was i doing? [laughs] Alright, High School me: favorite show was?
Actually, I went through a really big "skins" phase in my final year.
Yeah.
I had, I think I was probably in High School by the time I binged "Breaking Bad", so I
probably have to go to "Breaking Bad".
And the last one, High School me: on a Friday night would be?
Dylan's like, "studying or watching Breaking Bad."
Yep, studying.
no, uh.
oh my gosh.
adventuring.
actually.
adventuring?
yeah, i-- it's very very vague.
yeah.
I, uh, and i kind of still do this, but I would, like, after school, because I went
to a school in the city and then I would, like, bus home, and then, that night, I would
just, like, I was really into writing music and, like, I thought a little bit differently
and whatever, but I would, like, get the bus from my house and then go to the city and,
like, just walk around, like, sort of the club scene and just watch people, which is
probably not advisable for 17-year-olds, like, but, you know, like, I was, it wasn't super,
like, crazy.
You would just lurk outside of clubs and just creep?
Okay, well, let me, let me, let me like clarify, I wasn't lurking, but it was more, like, I
live in Perth, western Australia, so it's not crazy hardcore anything too bad but, I
would just roam around and, like, sit in the Cultural Centre and, like, we have a huge
screen, and I would just sit and watch, like, movies on that and watch people and, I'm such
a weirdo.
Um [laughs], Yeah, that was, that was my Friday night.
like, I just liked watching people and, like, walking around and feeling, like, I was part
of the nightlife but not so.
We would have been [laughs] what was that?
No, I love it.
Cool.
This is not, no, this is, this this is a L for love.

Yeah.
