He’s more than just another boy next door, actor Richard Ellis can currently be seen in the popular Netflix Series I Am Not Okay with This, a Gen Z show about a young girl who suddenly realizes she has telekinetic powers she must deal with, on top of navigating all the complexities of high school from friendships to dating. I Am Not Okay with This remarkably appeals to more than just the Gen Z crowd, as our Millennial and Gen X staff can attest. In this series, Ellis plays Bradley Lewis, the seemly perfect jock boyfriend of the main character’s best friend you love to hate.

While we have all been quarantined for the safety of ourselves and others, Ellis to took a break from his quarantine hobbies to sit down with our editor-in-chief, Tatijana Shoan via Skype to talk about the present and what the future may hold once we’ve weathered this current storm.
