Interview for the-n
Jake plays Toby on Degrassi, the sweet guy who likes Emma even though she doesn't like him back. (And why should she? All he did was SAVE HER LIFE!) Anyway, as far as we know Jake never saved anybody's life, but he does have at least one thing in common with Toby. Just check out his answers to questions from the-N.com users.
Kittypaw: What type of music do you like, and what are your hobbies?
Jake: I'll listen to almost anything but I mainly like punk rock. My favorite bands are Green Day, Weezer and Treble Charger. My hobbies are sports mainly. I like playing almost all sports: hockey, basketball, football. I'm not good at all of them, but I try. I also like watching TV.
hypergurl7: How did you get into acting?
Jake: When I was five years old, people kept telling my parents that I should get into acting. So we went to see a few agents, and we found one. That was it.
CountriQT: How do you feel about your character?
Jake: Toby's an interesting character, and I have a lot of fun playing him. He's a little more nerdish than I am, but when he tries to get attention from people like Emma by doing crazy things (like the panther dance!) I have even more fun!
CountriQT: Do you have anything in common with him?
Jake: Yes, Toby and I both like girls that don't like us back.
sofia9922: Has your life changed by making this series?
Jake: It hasn't changed that much, except when I go to a movie now and people know who I am.
kaceypaige: Do you get angry on set when you're acting and you make a mistake, or when someone else makes a mistake?
Jake: No, I don't get angry, because we all make mistakes. The best way to learn is by making mistakes.
lildevil08: What do you like most about being on the show?
Jake: I just like working with all the great people. Everyone is so much fun to work with, and it is a great way to spend a summer.
