Actor Matt McGorry recently dished about playing Asher in How to Get Away with Murder and what fans can expect from the character going forward.

'Serious Obstacles' In Oliver & Connor's Path In Season 2

McGorry spoke to Yahoo News! about his experience playing the part of the rather straight forward student of Annalise's who allows for great humor on the show.

"I have a lot of fun playing Asher, being comedic relief. In general, it's something in life that I like to try and do, bring humor to everyday situations," he said. "If anything, I'd say that my not wanting to take over a situation or not wanting to force my humor on people probably limits how much I try to inject my humor into situations. Being the comedic relief, I have carte blanche to really go after it, which is incredibly enjoyable. My job, every day, or at least part of it is to make people laugh, and I think that's something that I've always really enjoyed doing, not only in performance, but in my life, and I think having the opportunity to have that as a purpose is pretty incredible."

McGorry added that Asher will be stepping into more responsible shoes in the coming season if things continue the way they are in his life, so fans should probably watch out for a grown up Asher. Here's what the actor had to say when asked if Asher was going to evolve in season 2:

"Yeah, I think so. I think it's inevitable. I think if he continues to deal, continues with his relationship with Bonnie, he's going to be forced to grow. One part of it is being exposed to people he'd never really gotten to know before. I highly doubt that in his life, he had a gay character, like Connor, in his inner-circle. That automatically will provide him with some education."

The finale of season 1 aired on Feb. 26.

Season 2 will premiere on Sept. 24.
