![“heartstopper” executive producer patrick walters praised both joe locke and kit connor’s building of the tv versions of charlie and nick, highlighting a specific moment of connor’s acting that snagged the season’s second billie eilish needle drop: “…we were also in a position where we had this one bit in ep four, where nick is telling charlie that he loves him, but he’s directing it to tao’s video camera because charlie’s not there. it’s at a halloween party, and we struggled to find a bit of music to underpin that that would have believably been played at a halloween party full of teenagers, but also had the emotional resonance that we needed in it. because we knew the billie eilish team [from using ‘birds of a feather’ for the season 3 teaser], it was an amazing thing where we’re like, ‘maybe we try one of those songs?’ which we wouldn’t normally do because a megastar like that might be quite expensive, but we put ‘blue’ a song from her album at that moment. that’s one of my favorite season three music syncs, because kit’s face and his performance are so emotive, and you believe it, but then that song is so singular and brilliant.” 🔗:](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1842380353111036297/ext_tw_video_thumb/1842376893464461312/pu/img/TF8BJYDE6eR2G--Z.jpg)

“one of us” director stefan van de graaff describes kit connor’s talent, humility, and grounded personality: zach randles-friedman: “is there anything that surprised you about kit connor, that whenever you were working with him that you were just like you hadn't, you didn't expect that?” stefan van de graaff: “yeah, this is insane. when we cast kit, it was a week and a half before we filmed, and the film is very dialogue heavy and it's written in free verse, so everything is, it's almost like pseudo kind of faux shakespearean, very performative language by design. and he stepped into this role where he's basically in every single scene and he's basically talking the entire movie.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “he, i don't recall him missing a line.” zach: “wow.” stefan: “i don't know how he did it. i was just telling people at a, at a screener, a private screener the other night, it was like a superhuman, it was like witnessing a miracle. i don't know how he did it. he would go and he would memorize the next five pages of material the night before and he would come and he wouldn't miss a line. and that's just like, it's not normal, especially not normal for a, a script like this. so that was one thing is that he is insanely gifted. it's not just like he's one of those guys that gets, you know, yes, he's like incredibly handsome and charismatic and all those things, and there's a lot of those that kind of crawl through the ranks on, you know, on the merit of being beautiful. he is not that—or he's also that, let's say. he is also just incredibly talented in a way that i'm like, i, i, i don't know how you did that. he's also a lot taller than you might think.” zach: “how tall is he?” stefan: “he's over six feet.” zach: “oh, i did not, i thought he was like 5’8.” stefan: “no, no, no, he's, he's 6 foot, 6’1 probably. i'm 6’2 and he's, he's, he's not a small guy.” zach: “wow, that does surprise me actually, because he looks so short on tv.” stefan: “yeah, you watch heartstopper and he looks like, i think he just looks small and whatever. he's not, he's and, and then obviously he's gotten very, he's lifted a lot for a number of roles and stuff, and so like, he's big, like he's, he's a, yeah. he's a big guy and is also just incredibly, he is also real people. he is just like, you'll, he has no pretentiousness about him, just humble as can be. he's from like a small kind of borough of london. and he's just, he's just a remarkable person, really calm, really just like even-keeled, steady guy. i don't, i don't think that there's a person who, if they met him, that they couldn't like kit. i think that he's, he's just one of those types of people that you're just like, that's, that's a great person.” zach: “i love it that he's not, i love it that the fame didn't go to his head because i, there's a couple of people that just made it really big and one of them, i think it, i see them how they're acting now with like paparazzi and stuff, and i think that the fame has gone to their head, the way that they're acting now, and it's, it makes me kind of sad.” stefan: “i don't think that will ever happen with kit because i think that he will hide himself before that starts to happen. like he would sooner disappear and like act in one movie every couple of years and you're like, “where did that guy go?” than he would ever start to let that go—i would be shocked if he ever went that way, from what i know of him.” zach: “well he's been out, he's been there long enough, though if that was going to happen, i think it would have happened already too, because he's famous enough.” stefan: “absolutely.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “and he's so young that it's like, my brain like wasn't fully formed at his age, and so for him to be behaving the way that he is as young as he is, i'm like, ok, well, it, in 10 years from now, you're not going to be any more susceptible to giving into the ego than he is today. so i think that he is like, yeah, he's a, he's a sure bet if, if, if you're gambling on what actor is going to be around for a long time and is going to have just like a really prolific career of incredible pieces of work, i—and i feel like i can say this because it was no genius on my part or anything that got him, we got really lucky to get him—and so i feel like i can comfortably say like almost as like a, as a fly on the wall in the room with him, just being very fortunate to work with him, that like he's, he's going to go really, really far and he deserves every little bit of success.” 🔗:

stefan van de graaff (director of “one of us”) talks about casting kit connor and kit connor’s work in the film: stefan: “kit had been on my list from really early on. and i had mentioned to his talent agent, i said, ‘i’m a little concerned that maybe he’s too young to play the role.’ i had envisioned it maybe five years older, and she just said, ‘he’s the most mature guy you’ll ever meet. any concerns you have about that, just talk with him, and you will not have that fear.’ and that was true. like, one phone call with kit, and it was like, he’s the most well-spoken, respectful, wise person that you’ll ever meet. and for his age, it was just like, ‘okay, this kid really punches above his weight.’ and so we got very fortunate, and he stepped in and was memorizing a very difficult script.” host: “because he had, like, a monologue-heavy dialogue throughout.” stefan: “it’s so dialogue-heavy. it was—i can’t, i don’t quite know how he did it. i certainly couldn’t, but i have a terrible memory. but he would literally—he was memorizing the next day’s pages the day before. and i’m not joking. he would come, and he would not miss a line. i’m not joking. i don’t know how he did it.” host: “not even one line?” stefan: “no. no, literally. and this isn’t to knock anybody. it’s very normal for somebody to, like, you know, flub a line or whatever. he was never lost. he was never like, “wait, what’s the line after that?” not once. he always—he just had it down pat, literally from one night’s worth of study. i mean, he had been obviously reading it many times, but it was truly a feat. and so my respect for him is just immense. i think that any success that he has had prior to that and is having since is completely warranted. he’s truly a remarkable actor.” second host: “this was, like, the first time seeing him in such a lead role where he’s, like, essentially carrying the whole film. so it was quite amazing seeing him in his performance. like, i actually find myself becoming a fan of him now because every time i’ve seen him—anything i’ve seen him in—it was mostly a supporting role. so seeing, like, he’s very capable of, like, carrying such a brilliant performance in this way was quite amazing to see.” 🎥:

stefan van de graaff on what kit connor brought to the set of “one of us”: “so his agent had told me that he was the most professional person ever. and honestly, even that was a bit of an understatement. there’s a lot of signals that you can get from actors that sort of you perceive as the director, their level of commitment and passion for a project. and kit exhibited all of those in spades. as an example, you know, when you’re trying to get actors to come on set, and you have your ADs going to go fetch them, and they’ve been in the green room or whatever, waiting to kind of deliver their lines, sometimes it takes a while to usher them out. kit was, like, first guy on set every time, never had to be asked. he was just ready to go. and then the last guy, he was always the last one. he’d come to me and say, ‘do you want another one? do we do it again?’ you know, every time he was always the first and last. and that, on top of everything else, of just how kind he was, how he, i mean, he just ushered the set in so many respects of bringing the talent of everybody up to his level. and i think that everybody saw something almost superhuman happening when he would deliver those soliloquies after essentially memorizing them the night before flawlessly. i mean, literally, not asking for a line ever, rarely asking for a second take unless i was the one asking for it. i think that everybody was just kind of in awe of that, and that just elevated the production.” 🎥: mollyandanna_ on tiktok
