Many fans remember Jake Epstein from his time on the Canadian teen drama “Degrassi: Next Generation.”
But, the Canadian show became a huge hit both in its home country and the U.S.
Through the experience, Epstein watched the fan base grow and saw their reactions in his own high school.
“I was surrounded by the fan base of the show.
He and the rest of the cast were always shocked by how many fans came to their events.
Filming “Degrassi” also gave Epstein the chance to meet and work with one of his musical idols.
He was a huge fan of Hugh Dillon, the lead vocalist for The Headstones.
I just thought that was the coolest thing in the world.
And I loved filming scenes with him,” Epstein said.
