Thinking about this story (and I haven’t seen the series) which I have mostly read about here, I think this is one of the great Cinderella tales reminiscent of old Hollywood.
Interviews with both actors reveal each was waiting tables 2 years ago, during a period when their acting careers were not going anywhere promising.
Then this opportUnity came around with an audition for a series by a Canadian company (Crave) to play characters in a gay film story. Hardly promising stuff for world stardom but as we know the rest is history.
For their sakes let’s hope the Cinderella dream continues. I guess the second season will determine whether it’s a flash in the pan or something more enduring.
