SOPHIA LILLIS & WYATT OLEFF
I Am Not Okay With This (2020 – )
“It was a really interesting process. It took us a very, very long time, and a little bit of panic towards the end where we just didn’t find that right person [for Sydney]. When we found Sophia, we just knew it. She just had that deadpan quality, she was really likable, and really vulnerable, and you really feel for her. And then the Stanley search was even harder. We didn’t know what to do. And then someone had the brilliant idea — they saw that [Sophia and Wyatt] were actual friends in real life. There’s a lot of stuff on social media with those two palling around and it was just a brilliant lightning stroke. We were like, ‘Oh my god, this is our Stanley.’ Thank God we did that because the chemistry they have — and even watching those two between takes — they’re so funny and goofy. It’s like a brother/sister vibe. They bring out great qualities in each other.” — DAN LEVINE
“I am so happy he is apart of this as well. I’m really happy I know him, so I don’t really have to pretend to be friends with him. I’m already friends with him. It’s always fun to get to know people. It’s also really nice to have someone and you know that person already. [Sydney and Stanley] are very good friends and kind of the way they talk to each other, they don’t have to hide themselves. What you see in Sydney is she’s still trying to accept every part of herself, but being with him, she can really feel like herself, and I feel like that’s kind of the same with me and Wyatt. I get to really be myself with him. And I think it’s the same vice versa.“ — SOPHIA LILLIS
“Through that summer that we had we have this great chemistry together that I hope people really see on screen. That’s just us being us. We goof around a lot and I feel like that’s how we’ll always be. I think that really just works well on screen. I play more of the comedic role this time, which is more fun for me to play. I get to just play off of her looking at me like I’m an idiot, which is just how it normally is. So it’s perfect.“ — WYATT OLEFF
