Summary
This week, Tommy is joined by actor Anthony Keyvan! Anthony has been portraying roles in both film and television since he was five years old, but he became a household name by playing Rahim, an unrestrained and hysterical queer student in the series Love Victor. Now you know and love him from his starring role in XO, Kitty on Netflix, playing the lovable character of Q who also explores themes of identity within the LGBTQ+ community. Anthony plays Kitty’s best friend and every line he delivers is comedic gold. XO, Kitty is a coming-of-age story that is often praised for unpacking issues that are top of mind for teens, but it’s a series that people of all ages can relate to. Today, Anthony opens up about how he’s adjusting to all of the success surrounding XO, Kitty, why telling stories where people feel seen and represented is so important to him, the recent news of the Season 3 pick up, why playing his character Q is therapeutic, his first in-person meeting with co-star Anna Cathcart, the beautiful friendship they quickly formed, what he hopes to see for his character in Season 3, if he is Team #Minho, why playing a character who is half-Iranian and half-Filipino is so meaningful, what growing up in front of the world has been like, hardships he’s overcome working in Hollywood, the decision he made to open up about his mental health journey, where he is today with his mental health, how he almost passed on the opportunity to be in XO, Kitty and so much more.
