I can't get enough Buddy Garrity in my life, man. One would definitely be Brad Leland, who plays Buddy Garrity. What was up with that?ĭF: How about your favorite couple characters. And I certainly dug really deep to portray that truthfully.ĭF: On the recruiting subject.I was taken aback when, I think Smash was in the burger place, and in walks the recruiter from TMU.and he was played by Rick Barnes, the real-life basketball coach at the University of Texas. The few episodes that haven't aired yet are probably going to be the most compelling for his character. Right now, the episodes that we're about to see basically have to do with Smash getting into trouble with the police, and having his whole future football career in jeopardy, and possibly taken away from him. GC: The most interesting thing so far has been this whole college recruiting process, which is really sort of the arc of the whole two seasons. Which is what I think everyone responds to.ĭF: Some of the subjects that your character has gotten into include steroid use, all of the college recruiting stuff, and now this inter-racial relationship.what's been the most interesting subject for you to sink your teeth into?

I run into a lot of high school kids, and they see me as that jock. I play Smash on TV." You walk them through it a little bit, and they come around. I'm like, "Hey, how you doin', I'm Gaius Charles.
