Connor Storrie, what is it like to be you right now?
You are 26. A few months ago, you were working as a waiter and modeling sometimes. Going to auditions.
You are a 5'11 twink from Odessa, TX, so, naturally (how????), you schedule a chemistry test for that Canadian gay hockey drama you auditioned fot the "6'4 Russian gay top hockey captain in love with his rival" with.
It was never expected to be seen outside of Canada. HBO had already refused to make it unless they didn't get so much spice as a kiss until episode 4, so, but it was going go pay you $80,000 for 6 episodes which is amazing for a waiter in LA. It will buy you audition time.

Now though, you went to the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party as the guest everyone wanted to talk to.
You got to do SNL! And you absolutely crushed it. People are calling you Heath Ledger Reincarnated.
You talked to Seth Meyers on one of your first talk show appearances about meeting his friends, and he did a little fast-forward sketch with you in which he congratulated you on your 2028-2029ish(?) Oscars win.
But, of course, you have yet to do a project that will be eligible. He's that confident in you though. Wow.
And Verizon won the bid on getting you behind their brand. They paid you a fortune to let them create the most amazing film-reel for you.
And you're loving it. It's about your ass. AMERICA'S ASS. 😂
And it's because of that audition you never thought you'd get. And now you're here. Your co-star is rad. You love that guy. He loves you, too. It feels natural to look out for each other and hold hands as you face the Rollercoaster that is fame. Just like your characters will hold hands and step into the light of their relationship in season 2 of your now very famous show.
The pressure is on, but you and your new bestie, Hudson--y'all got this.
You're gaining the experience of being discovered by the world right now, so you can relate to what Ilya will be working towards in season 2.
And the whole world can't wait to see what y'all create together.
The world is excited for your future.
