Tommy Dorfman Talks His Controversial Scene In '13 Reasons Why' Season 2

Tommy Dorfman smiles as he makes an appearance at BUILD Series on Monday (June 4) in New York City.

The 13 Reasons Why actor talked the hit Netflix show, that controversial scene towards the end of season two, his personal experiences with sexual assault, and being open about sexuality.

“I think for me since day one on this show, we’re here to tell stories. These stories might be different from other people’s experiences, but I found if you focus less on the details of what’s happening and more on the emotional journey, you can find ways to relate,” he dished. “I think that’s what a lot of our fan base has done. I know me in particular, I’ve had that experience with this show.”

“That scene in particular, is of course, can be very triggering and it is very difficult to watch, but it’s important to note that rape victims come in different sizes and shapes and genders,” Tommy continued. “It’s not always a girl who’s getting assaulted, sometimes it is a guy. And I think for us, it was important to share that story and share Tyler’s story.”

FYI: Tommy is wearing Coach.
