The 28-year-old actor starred in the show’s first season but left the series in order to be a part of 13 Reasons Why‘s second season.
It turns out, Ross had the opportunity to be on both shows at once but would have had to had a reduced presence on both series due to his busy schedule.
“Before season 2 was confirmed for [13 Reasons Why], I had to make the decision of whether I wanted to focus on one character or split two characters and have a smaller role on both shows. Reggie’s a great character, but it’s a different tone. I connected with Zach on a much more real level where I didn’t have to create so much of a character for him. Reggie’s more outspoken, like that jock archetype,” Ross told Vulture.
He added, “I was in this weird floating space where the CW had recast Reggie, but Netflix still hadn’t confirmed that season 2 of 13 had been picked up. Thankfully, it did. I had lunch with Brian Yorkey, the head writer and executive-producer, and he dropped the news of what was gonna happen with Zach.”
BTS are having an amazing month: not only did they perform at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, but they appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where they amusingly got a big scare from a “fan girl” – and then performed “Fake Love” and “Airplane Pt. 2″ from their brand new studio album, Love Yourself: Tear.
Nick is set to perform at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards, airing on June 18 at 9 PM. He’ll be teaming up with DJ Mustard to perform their new collaboration, “Anywhere.”
