Meet the stars of Geek Charming

With the hit new movie Geek Charming about to air on the Disney Channel, we quiz the cast to find out how geeky they are in real life. What’s the geekiest thing they’ve ever done? How would they rate themselves on the geek scale? The answers are all here…

 

MEET MATT! 

Matt Prokop plays an aspiring film geek called Josh in the film…

How much of a geek are you, Matt?

I am a total geek, especially when it comes to videogames. I love my Xbox! There have been loads of nights where I have stayed up until sunrise trying to beat a level or rank up.

What’s the geekiest thing you’ve ever done?

The geekiest thing I’ve ever done was bail on a date because a new videogame was being released. I was supposed to go on a date with Sarah [Hyland], but we had to change it. Luckily, she is also a bit of a geek so she waited in a line with me to get a copy of Call Of Duty: Black Ops. We lined up for three hours, but we were one of the first ten people to get a copy of the game!

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate yourself on the geek scale?

I’d give myself a seven. That’s not too geeky, is it?

 

MEET LILI!

 Lili Simmons plays Lola in Geek Charming…

How much of a geek are you, Lili?

I guess I’m a geek because I love reading and I love learning new things. I don’t wear geeky glasses, so I don’t have that geek trait – but I love to learn and I love school.

What’s the geekiest thing you’ve ever done?

When I was little, I spent many hours playing videogames with my brother. Nowadays, I stay up all night reading scripts and trying to get into character for work. When it’s a really deep character, I like to try to read the entire script in one sitting, which often takes hours and hours!

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate yourself on the geek scale?

I would probably say I’m a five or a six.

 

MEET JIMMY!

 Jimmy Bellinger plays Steven in the film…

How much of a geek are you, Jimmy?

I think everybody has a little geek in them. For me, I’m a big geek when it comes to videogames. I grew up playing videogames, so they are definitely my geeky weakness!

What’s the geekiest thing you’ve ever done?

What’s the geekiest thing I’ve ever done? Oh my gosh! I’ve queued up for hours when videogames are released. I’ve totally waited around for the midnight releases, too. They would probably be my geekiest moments in life.

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate yourself on the geek scale?

I would give myself a six. I’m not overly geeky; just a little!
