## Resource

Actor, singer, dancer, and songwriter Nic Dantes joins Zach for a candid conversation about being gay in the entertainment industry — from childhood auditions where he feared being "found out," to landing a guest spot on Law & Order and playing a gay teen on the hidden camera show What Should I Do?. They also cover dream collabs (Sabrina Carpenter, Jennifer Lawrence, K-pop), the TV vs. film debate, and what Nic is looking for in a partner. Bonus: Zach opens his DMs and offers to personally vet — and fund — Nic's first date.
