We had the honor of sitting down with Jacob Zachar who stars on ABC Family's hit series Greek to chat about the series, his character, and what he's up to when he's not filming. Here's what he had to say:

The show looks like it's a lot of fun to do, like you guys have a lot of fun. I was just wondering if you could talk about what's been your best experience so far in filming or in actually doing the show?

Yes. You know, just meeting everybody for the first time and remembering how we were for the first table read for the pilot and just the journey that everyone has been on individually and to where we're at now. We all have our individual careers in mind, but the overall experience that I really appreciate is that everyone is working together to help each other individually, but also by making this show itself amazing too, because it's definitely the roots of where we're going to go from here.

Everyone is on the same plane personality wise and career wise. I think in that sense it's been a great experience because you can bring such an ensemble of diversity together, especially when everyone is in their prime age of 21 and 25. And especially being in Los Angeles, there are a lot of temptations and being able to go to work everyday together is a great thing.

Since both you and your character grew up in Chicago, I was wondering what you pull in about how you grew up in Chicago into your character.

Yes. I guess the first thing I had on my mind when I was reading it was Boy Scouts and along with that stereotype comes a lot of morality, values and some sort of traditional feelings that some people don't have these days. So I think in that sense I got Rusty coming from Chicago, being in the Midwest, you have more of a family sense, a more sincere character. He doesn't have the East Coast, West Coast stereotype along with him. In that way he will be accepted by anybody's opinions because he's just a very honest person.

Are you at all like Rusty in real life or if you had to start from scratch in developing the character, or got inspiration from someplace else?

Yes. I think deep down I am pretty similar to Rusty, and as cool as I try to act, I think it will only help the character or presents itself because it's definitely not going - I know it's the correct way I try to do it. But, yes, I find a lot of similarities between the situations he gets himself in as far as I do too. My favorite episode is the sport thing. As awkward as I may have looked playing sports, I love it. Performing the hockey episode is one of my favorites, for example.
