Even though Zach and Avan have known each other socially for 16 years, the pair have never sat down for a formal chat, but now the 34-year-old Canadian-British-Indian actor is in the official hotseat thanks to his new thriller series ‘56 Days.’ Playing the brooding, possibly dangerous, definitely tortured Oliver, starring opposite Dove Cameron, the Prime series is very much in the vein of 90s psycho-sexual classics like ‘Fatal Attraction’ and ‘Basic Instinct.’ The chemistry is combustible and we get into that, how he built the character, intimacy co-ordinators, morality gray areas, and more.

Plus he chats about his beginnings in acting, how he snagged the role of heartthrob Beck in ‘Victorious,’ and his relationship with the cast to this day. We also dig into his more leftfield creative endeavors including working with arthouse filmmaker Greg Araki, screenwriting legend Charlie Kaufman, and his own screenplays and directing forays.

And… his second poetry collection — ‘Autopsy (of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob)’ with its humor and satire, some of which might have been lost on readers. Naturally it’s impossible not to discuss his fiancée Halsey and their creative and romantic partnership too. Awww.
