The premiere of Roommates is THIS Monday, March 23rd (Following the finale of Secret Life).
Check out some of our interview with one of the stars, Tyler Francavilla!
What made you want to be a part of Roommates?
Well, I have to say the character of Mark is a lot like myself in a lot of ways, which was very appealing to me to begin with. It’s actually kind of difficult to play a role that’s a lot like yourself. I found that challenging and also very fun. Mark is a struggling actor living in New York and he’s sort of a hopeless romantic and has been pining after the same girl since high school. I found I had a lot in common with Mark and obviously being an actor and having been, working at it for quite a long time and growing up in New York and everything, there was a lot of that character that I identified with and a bit of the hopeless romantic part as well.

How long did it take to develop chemistry between the cast?
No, I have to say it was pretty instantaneous. We all bonded immediately and I feel like that was the, one of the best parts about this job and playing this role is that I made some of the best friends I’ve had working on this show. We all immediately got along so well and started hanging out a lot. I feel like it really comes through in the work when you see the show and as the show develops. I think you really start to see our friendships forming and the bonds that we created, I think really comes through and I think is going to be a big, big part of why the show would be successful if it is.
Why should we watch Roommates?
I think Roommates is going to be a show that is going to appeal to a lot of people because it’s about this pivotal time in a young person’s life. You just graduated from college, you’re just out on your own officially for the first time and you’re trying to get your career in order, trying to decide maybe what that career might be. You’re trying to find love or have some sort of love life and some sort of social life at the same time. I think people younger than that age are going to watch it and look forward to that time in their life. I think people who are at that age are going to obviously identify with it going through it at the same time.
