"Ilya seems like very confident, very controlling but he's actually a deeply empathetic & kind lover. That's part of his character, that's a reveal about Ilya, he might not want you to think that but he's a really good guy. Part of that reflects in that, he wants Shane...

I'd like to say a few more words about Shane, because whenever people talk about him, the first thing that usually comes up is that he's autistic. But if there's one thing Heated Rivalry makes clear, it's that Shane is so much more than that. Yes, autism is part of who he is - it shapes his sensitivity and influences some of his reactions and behaviors - but it doesn't define him. Shane is complex, multi-layered, and authentic. First and foremost, Shane is a successful athlete, a beloved son, a loyal friend, and a young man questioning his own identity, fighting to find the courage to be himself. He's competitive and introverted, sometimes awkward in social situations, yet gifted with an emotional intelligence that's rare. Just look at how he notices when Ilya is struggling, or how his care for him comes through even without words. For Shane, loving someone means understanding what they're feeling, even when they can't put it into words. That's why he asks Ilya to speak in Russian, though he knows he won't understand the language. What matters isn't the literal meaning, but the sense of emotional safety that moment creates. Words matter, of course, but for Shane, what matters even more is what words can offer: a pause, a connection, a chance for honesty. Shane is also stubborn and determined, capable of dreaming big and brave enough to face his fears, one step at a time. That's why I believe we can never reduce a person's complexity to a single word. Shane's autism isn't an obstacle to overcome, nor a dramatic burden put on display. It's simply one of the many shades that make him who he is, alongside his passion for hockey, his love of reading, his shyness, and his ability to let life surprise him. Maybe the most beautiful thing about Shane Hollander is this: he's not meant to be a symbol, a lesson, or an example. He's a guy who feels deeply, who needs order to stay grounded, and who loves with his whole heart. Watching him grow, make mistakes, fall in love, stumble, and get back up again is a precious reminder that being autistic is just one part of a person. But being Shane - with all his uniqueness and courage - is something truly special. And I believe that's true for all of us.

“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.” 🔗:
