The 26-year-old Girl Meets World alum will be joining the cast of Days of Our Lives on Tuesday, December 3 as a new character, Doug Williams III, the grandson of the late Doug Williams.

“It’s a little bit of a crazy story,” he told TV Insider of the debut. “I lived for about 10 years in L.A. and then right around COVID time, I left L.A. and moved to Nashville and spent about two-and-a-half years there. I took some time off and then said, ‘I want to start acting again. I’m ready to get back in it.’ I booked a room in a house with some of my buddies. Four days after I had moved my stuff into that new house, I booked Days of our Lives, so it worked out perfectly; the timing was unbelievable.” See what else he’s teasing about the role!
