Antonio Cipriano on India Fowler as Grace Ivers via @people
“I got to read with three amazing and completely individual, different versions of Grace, and they were all incredible," he says. India just brought something so ... I don't know, she truly fell right out of the books. It was just like I was talking to Grace."
He points to Fowler's "quirkiness" in particular as something that made her stand out as the perfect choice to play the character, a freshman at Briar who catches Logan's eye.
"When we were watching the videos back, some of the chem reads, after having done it that day, [showrunners] Louisa [Levy] or Gina [Fattore], one of them said, 'It's cool, because you can tell she has no idea what's going to come out of her mouth next,' which is so Grace, and it was so perfect."
He continues of Fowler, 22, "She's going to bring so much to the show. She's going to elevate it, and I'm so excited for Logan and Grace's dynamic."
"It's perfect. She's exactly the person we need for this role," he teases. "I'm excited." https://t.co/tvhj4r9N8h
