Alloy Interview and Video

Posted on 18 May 2010 (No Comments)

Here’s an older interview from Alloy as well as a couple videos, including one with Spencer and other with the cast of Greek.

We’ve been totally missing Greek since it’s been on hiatus for the past few months, so we are so excited to have our fave ZBZs and Kappa Taus back on campus for another season! With a rekindling romance between Casey and Cappie, an impending graduation for the CRU seniors and tons of amazing theme parties, this season’s got a lot in store! What else can we expect? We asked Spencer Grammer for the scoop. Keep reading!

How does Casey’s college experience compare to your own?
I went to a small liberal arts school and we didn’t have any sororities. And I was a theatre major and took studio art classes so I wasn’t necessarily on the political venture that Casey’s on.

Do you think Greek accurately portrays Greek life?
I think it’s a pretty accurate depiction. I think our story is the college experience. We just use Greek life as a model for these vibrant characters and the struggle that you go through in your late teens/early twenties defining who you are. It’s more about the relationships to each other than these really great theme parties and rivalries between houses.

Would you have wanted to been part of the Greek system in college?
I don’t know. I’m such a weird, artsy kid. I may have if I had met the right group of people, but I don’t know if it would’ve been a step I would’ve taken. College was my opportunity to grow as an actor more than to socially network.

How was being on Greek different than you thought it’d be?
I didn’t think it was gonna last as long as it did. We knew with the pilot we had something really special and there was a special bond with all of us. But everyone that was cast was different than I think you could’ve gone with the show, so that made it really unique.

How is your off-screen relationship with the cast?
It’s grown with some people and not grown with some other people. Me and Jacob [Zachar] are really good friends. He’s Casey’s brother, but we’re very similar people in general. We cook dinner together a lot. The boys are all crazy boys. The girls I don’t hang out with much because I’m more of a dude a lot of the time. I’m not a girly girl. In my regular life, I like to do boy things like burp and not wear makeup, unlike Casey.

Are you like Casey at all?
Our experiences sync a lot of times. I bought a house this year and Casey is buying a future. We’re both taking big steps in our lives. The writers take into consideration what the audience wants to see, and it’s never really about me and my life. But when things happen to Casey, they really touch me because I’m so invested in her story.

How do you think Casey has changed since freshman year?
As a freshman, she was less comfortable being the sorority queen that she’s become. As the seasons have gone on, that’s become more of Casey’s comfort zone, whereas the tomboy girl who’s with Cappie sort of disappeared or melded with that girl.

Greek life is big on parties. Any cool parties we can expect to see this season?
In the first episode we have a princess party which is really fun. We have the Mardi Gras party and there’s an ’80s party, too. There’s also a beauty contest that we do against all the sororities. And ZBZ is focusing on becoming the number one house, so we’re doing a lot with that.

What’s up with Casey and Cappie this season?
Casey and Cappie are together. You’ll see them dating and also see where their differences are. When people get back together, they’re like “we’re gonna try, we’re gonna work” and then things don’t work out the way you think. Casey’s going one place and Cappie’s not sure where he’s going yet, but love overcomes all in the end.

What about Casey and Ashleigh?
They have a lot of ups and downs this season because you see Casey really focused on her career and Ashleigh’s going on her own path. Their friendship is going in different directions and I think that happens to a lot of friends in college. But they’re clearly soul mate friends and BFFs for life. It all works out.

Since it’s Casey’s last semester, what’s up next for her?
Casey focuses on going to grad school and figuring out what she’s going to do with her life post college. She starts seeing what her specialties are and she’s still interested in political science despite the fact that she and Evan have broken up. She’s kind of pursuing going to law school. And she and Cappie are back together so that’s definitely becoming a pull for her.

What would you want her to do?
I love working on Greek so I’d love for her to go to grad school at CRU. Or, there are talks of Casey becoming a house mother. I would love to see Casey grow, for sure.
