• I've been lucky enough to work with the amazing Golden Globe Award winning Chris Colfer and that is fantastic. I get to work with him on a day-to-day basis and he is such a generous talent.

We definitely have a very lovely rapport personally - I think on screen too - and I hope you can see that in the characters.
