His character is a rich, famous, straight-A student with the prettiest girlfriend and seemingly perfect life. However, he has a secret: he's gay. The actor said:

"My character is not perfect, but he's sort of like a conscience. [...] In the first episode, you find out he is the only one who is really honest about his emotions..."

The following year, Corenswet landed the role of Jack Castello in "Hollywood," where he plays a reportedly gay sex worker trying to make it as an actor. "My character has a certain optimism, a lack of jadedness... At least at the beginning of the series," he said.
