‘Eye Candy’ Cast: Actor From Former Series Still In Contact With Co-Stars, ‘I Love Them’
Eye Candy may have gone off the air last year, but that doesn't mean the co-stars don't still keep in touch.
The former MTV series starred Victoria Justice as Lindy, a hacker on the hunt for a serial killer she met online (while also trying to find her missing sister). The 10-episode run featured a variety of daring adventures to figure out the identity of "the Flirtual Killer," with plenty of bodies dropping along the way. Unfortunately, the series, itself, was killed after only one season.
Enstars recently caught up with one of its main stars, Harvey Guillen, at Out Magazine's Fashion Vanguard Awards at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood. Fans will recall that Guillen played Lindy's good friend George and he talked about his old MTV co-stars. As it turns out, everyone's now spread out and living in different area codes, but the group still remains in touch and (seemingly) pretty tight.
"Kiersey [Clemons who played Sophia]--she's actually one of my writing partners--so we wrote a project that we're really excited about. Victoria is shooting Rocky Horror and we're really close. We group chat all the time and it's kind of sad because we miss each other and we're all over parts of the world," Guillen said. "I was in Colombia shooting last week and Kiersey was in LA, Victoria was in Vancouver, Ryan [Cooper who played Jake] was in New York, so we just group texted and said, 'Can we just be in one place at one time?' But I love them. And I know that it's for the best that we're just friends and continue to be friends."
The actor also dished on the fashion event and how he's into styles that aren't gender specific.
"There's these shirts and long gated skirts that can be unisex, which are like giant shirts or a girl can wear and put a belt on and it becomes a dress, or a guy can wear and call it a dress," he said. "So there's no labels and barriers, I'm really into that."
Guillen also commented on the recent political drama in North Carolina over House Bill 2 (also known as HB2), which infamously outlaws a person from using a restroom in a government building that is not designated the same gender they were born as (singling out and complicating things for those who are transgender). It's been called "the most anti-LGBT law in the U.S." Over a hundred corporate leaders from major companies like Miramax and Bank of America, signed their names calling for HB2's repeal ( a similar move got Georgia's governor to repeal a similar law)
"Actually, my writing partner is from North Carolina and she was appalled and very saddened that they're going back 50 years in what we've been looking forward to and moving forward in the future," he said. "And I think [the letter from business leaders is] a good thing, I think companies should stand by and say we're not gonna have our LGBT brothers be discriminated against and if you're not going to be willing to give them the freedom to live their lives, then we're not gonna do business with you."
