About this episode

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Thomas Doherty who is currently shaking things up in Season 2 of the intoxicating drama, Tell Me Lies. You know and love Thomas from so many fan-favorite projects like the Descendants franchise, the Gossip Girl reboot, Dandelion, The Invitation and so many more. But now he plays Leo, the charming newcomer who finds himself in the middle of Lucy (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen’s (Jackson White) toxic past. Tell Me Lies has been crowned as one of today’s most bingeworthy shows, and audiences can’t get enough of the intense drama that unfolds week after week. Today, Thomas opens up about how starring in the Descendants films changed his life, what those years meant to him, transitioning from a more family-friendly network to the next chapter of his career, the one role he would love to reprise from his past, what it was like acting in some of those wild and racy scenes in Gossip Girl, the conversation he had with Ed Westwick about playing a role loosely inspired by his original Chuck Bass, the intensity of working on a show like Tell Me Lies, forming his chemistry with co-star Grace Van Patten, the finale that the audience isn’t going to be ready for, why he isn’t big on setting goals and rather live in the present, and much more.
