Jake Epstein recently talked to BroadwayWorld.com about Billy Elliot, Degrassi and his dream roles. Right now, Jake is starring as Billy’s older brother in the Toronto production of Billy Elliot- which runs til September 3rd at the Canon Theatre.
Here’s what he had to say about people still noticing him from Degrassi!:
You have a pretty intense fanbase with a lot of younger people from your days on Degrassi – do you feel that this show would appeal to them and would you encourage people who know you mostly from that to come and check this out?
I’m always surprised at how many people remember me from Degrassi. The fact is, Billy Elliot is an incredible show, for any age and any gender. Degrassi fans would absolutely fall in love with Billy Elliot.
