Joe's career trajectory cannot be emphasized enough. It's mind blowing he went from auditioning with a self made video in his bedroom on the Isle of Men, never having acted professionally before, to not only landing a co-lead role in a hit Netflix series for his first job ever but to then also landing a Marvel male lead role. Insane and so well deserved! Also a very needed reminder to break into stereotypical casting processes by doing open calls.
@@ves_perrp He has been cast as the male lead in the WandaVision spinoff Agatha: Coven of Chaos. While his role remains undisclosed, a lot of scoopers say he's Billy/Wiccan.
I feel like this is THE perfect cast. There have been other good ones but the Heartstopper cast is just on another level. Not to mention the fact that they all became great friends in real life too
Getting Olivia Colman was icing on the cake. I can't imagine any of the lead characters being replaced. The new faces are a welcome change for launching a project like this. As epic as the Stranger Things kids all making it big. Congrats to Kit and Bash and Joe. Great performances.
Incredible casting, wonderful story. Unless you lived through the days when being gay was illegal, socially a death sentence and justification for being fired, evicted, disinherited, disenfranchised and refused goods and services (and still is in most of the world), you cannot imagine the impact a show like this also has on its older audience, such as myself. Even though I was never personally mistreated or disowned by my family, colleagues or friends, there was always the fear I could land in prison for being gay. Thank you to the wonderful Heartstopper creators, cast and crew for the vivid storytelling and its delivery by a such a beautiful, diverse cast.
I remember "The Imitation Game". Ugly times that aren't so far. Things have improved, obviously, but there is still a long way to go. I read older audience reviews on imdb and found that some of them considered the show an offense, not taking into account what they had to endure in real life, even today. I'm glad there are also people like you, who see it for what it actually is. Solace and a glimpse of hope.
On Kit and Joe, I’m amazed that it took them so much to find the two of them but if you read the books, just looking at the two of them side by side and you literally see Nelson and Charlie
Joe's audition process reminds me a little bit of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint & Emma Watson for harry potter, just with 1 audition their lives changed forever but with Daniel was also thanks to Dame Maggie Smith because she have worked with him before, but this cast is pure perfection especially Kit, Joe & Olivia Colman ❤
Why is it that Elle has one of the easiest names ever but she always gets called “Ella” or “Ellie”? Anyways, I LOVE this cast. No one could’ve portrayed these characters better. I especially love Kit Connors portrayal of someone discovering their sexuality even though they always thought they were straight. I personally always thought I was straight and that I was just an ally. However, recently, I discovered that I am bisexual and Kit Connor and his portrayal of Nick Nelson as well as some of the things Kit has been through, has made me feel a lot more comfortable with it and with coming out. I never thought I’d come out to my parents or friends, but because of Kit and everything he’s gone through in real life and shown in the show, I’ve come out to about 10 of my friends and to my dad. I never could’ve done it without this show or without Kit Connor, the amazing actor and human he is. Nothing but love to the entire cast for not only this show, but also for how they handled the homophobes at London Pride. I will never be ashamed to say that Heartstopper is my favorite show/series to read and to watch. ❤❤❤❤
I can only say how amazing you all are and thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating and sharing such a beautiful story .. I’m sorry that any of you had any bad experiences from your role in this story.. thank you all 🫶🫶🫶🫶
I love how they got their roles so much especially joe. It gives me hope that maybe one day I'll get that kind of chance as well it's so inspiring to see
You're kidding! asting could not have been more spot on! Wonderful script that totally understands its subject! Wonderful cast that totally understands their characters. We can only hope American TV scriptwriters & directors start to see what their viewers need and want!
I auditioned to be part a recurring extra in the background but they told me i was too young because i was 2 months from being 15 at the time, sucks but oh well.
1:19 Well according to Kit, the book was his sister, he saw one volume on her bookshelf and got a little interest into the webcomic after heard casting from the agent.
Not read or heard of the books before came across HS S1 on Netflix (under the LGBTQ+ section) last year thought I might of been too old to watch/be into this but watched it regardless and so happy I did absolutely obsessed with this show the casting is unbelievable probably the best I've ever come across in something like this to Alice and everyone that's been/are involed in making Heartstopper THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this beautiful and amazing show and to the cast you are all amazing/talented individuals! P.s can we please get Heartstopper the movie anyone else agree? 🙏🏻
Video was good, it's a shame the thumbnail is just Clickbait....I imagine everyone including me thought they would be watching the actual audition tapes....
Would not change a thing, This is a well diverse cast ,so talented and Are all well suited for there parts. PERFECT! # NICK AND CHARLIE ARE STILL THE BEST
I feel liked that’s why not to come back again next season 3 I can wait until next my favourite is joe and kit I love ❤️ them made me feeling emotional and sense ❤❤❤
What I can't stand are those two gigantic links/ads for coming-up videos at the end which totally block the video. You can't see the content at all- it's so offensive!! Grrr....but the cast is perfect by the way!! Love them all!!
I think the cast is absolutely perfect according to the book, the way joe acted was spot on with his character but, don’t take this as hate, he did great, watching the show it seemed every episode his eyebrows got closer and closer to each other witch for some reason made me irrationally angry lol Kit was to close to the book it’s insane lol I finished both seasons in a day ❤
No way! After she became christian fanatic, she hated gays. "I'll pray for you tonight." "I've seen the evil homosexuality come out of you people... AIDS is your sin," "Now don't get me wrong; God loves you. But not the way you are now." Also she said "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"
@@kevincoss6470That's how it's supposed to be. Charlie is much smaller. But this is ridiculous, Kit is perfect playing Nick, no matter if he is more or less muscular. The way he portrays Nick's emotions is incredible. Like, he should win an Emmy level. Also, it's comments like yours that made him have a body image problem. I'll never understand the need of some people to be so negative. I've read Red, white and royal blue. Alex is supposed to be much shorter than the Prince. So no, the casting is not 100% accurate. Does it matter? Of course not. The actors play their roles perfectly, that's what matters.

he's talented and lucku
I'm really rooting for him to be Very sucessful in his career. He's like A Future Oscar Winner.
HOLY CRAP WHAT MARVEL ROLE?!
@@ves_perrpHe’s playing Wiccan in the upcoming series Agatha: Coven of Chaos!

perfect description of what i was gonna comment lol
I think they are all amazing actors, except for the one playing Harry. For some reason his performance always feels off or staged to me.
joe has such raw talent with acting, even in scenes where there’s no dialogue there is so much emotion portrayed
Joe's story is truly amazing. A dream for so many, and I'm so glad he put himself out there and took that chance
And now he'll make his Broadway debut in Sweeney Todd. Mindblowing but very well deserved. He truly is hard working, too.
Getting Olivia Colman was icing on the cake. I can't imagine any of the lead characters being replaced. The new faces are a welcome change for launching a project like this. As epic as the Stranger Things kids all making it big. Congrats to Kit and Bash and Joe. Great performances.

Wow. I’m so sorry you had to go through that! Well said. :)

Kit & Joe have insane chemistry, it's amazing to watch❤ Love these two so much
I can't think of a single casting change. This is core group excellence.
On Kit and Joe, I’m amazed that it took them so much to find the two of them but if you read the books, just looking at the two of them side by side and you literally see Nelson and Charlie
Would love to see their audition tapes

Know one ever talks about how Jenny PERFECTLY fit for tori!!!
I can't imagine Kit as Charlie 💀
Me too😐
Kit looks too much like nick
@@Slug_onpaws I mean, they both fit perfectly for their roles. Like shaes of their heads, hair, body completion.
I just love Kit and Joe don’t get me wrong, but their chemistry is better than all of the other cast members. I just think it’s immaculate.❤
The cast is great! Perfect job casting.
NOOOOO This cast is PHENOMINAL best young full UK cast since Skins seasons 1-4 ❤
You're so right! ❤
I would never have the cast any other way, it is perfection

and now Joe is Wiccan on MCU and this is just the beginning he is gonna become so big in the future.
The cast is perfection. I'm in love and can't get enough of them.
They did such a wonderful job, it goes to show that conviction and effort go into casting diverse shows. It literally makes the show. ❤
They found the pearls we needed actually Rhrea auditoned to play Darcy🎉
Wdym by "they had to search further than the uk" and then say "they found her in manchester" BRO MANCHESTER IS IN ENGLAND
😭
Lmao frl. “The search had to be extended to the rest of the world.” They’re acting like Manchester is another country😭
think of how few bipoc transwomen there are who are actors. it is a small number, so opening it up makes sense
I assume what they meant is they extended the search to outside of the UK but then were lucky enough to still find someone within the UK
I auditioned to be part a recurring extra in the background but they told me i was too young because i was 2 months from being 15 at the time, sucks but oh well.
I still cant belive Kit tried to audition for Charlie
What a beautifully cast series…truly a wonderful show!
their auds. IM OBSESSED
So where are the audition tapes as advertised?
1:19 Well according to Kit, the book was his sister, he saw one volume on her bookshelf and got a little interest into the webcomic after heard casting from the agent.

I audition for Tao's part but I did not get in 😭 but I did love Williams part and I still love heartstopper so it's a win win
your vlogs are amazing kein!!
Where did you find the audition?
@@Knotten2000 my friend saw Alice Oseman's insta story and we sign up there
Video was good, it's a shame the thumbnail is just Clickbait....I imagine everyone including me thought they would be watching the actual audition tapes....
Im so glad they stuck with casting actual actors who fit their show counterpart.
The cast is literally perfect
I wouldn't change a thing - the cast is absolutely outstanding!
Would not change a thing,
This is a well diverse cast ,so talented and
Are all well suited for there parts.
PERFECT!
# NICK AND CHARLIE
ARE STILL THE BEST
All of them are so cute & talented 🤩❤
lucky ❌
talented✅
I thought Joe Locke did theater. But the video said he had no acting experience…
Absolutely perfect casting.
Just PERFECT!
I feel liked that’s why not to come back again next season 3 I can wait until next my favourite is joe and kit I love ❤️ them made me feeling emotional and sense ❤❤❤
The casting was perfect.
Joe is very talented actor…
What I can't stand are those two gigantic links/ads for coming-up videos at the end which totally block the video. You can't see the content at all- it's so offensive!! Grrr....but the cast is perfect by the way!! Love them all!!
The cast is great!
I cannot see Kit being charlie he just doesnt suit Charlie but he plays nick amazingly
I love this vid❤
Imagine Kit Connor being charlie... who could've played Nick Nelson instead.
I just can't believe that Kit want to play Charile? He is perfect for Nick Nelson!
I love them
I think the cast is absolutely perfect according to the book, the way joe acted was spot on with his character but, don’t take this as hate, he did great, watching the show it seemed every episode his eyebrows got closer and closer to each other witch for some reason made me irrationally angry lol Kit was to close to the book it’s insane lol I finished both seasons in a day ❤
The cast is perfect. I just want the character Issac to have a bigger role. They replaced any one on it, I'd hate it.
I want to know who else auditioned for nick and charlie
Raise your 🙌 if you can't wait for season 3?? #heartstopper #season3
Include Donna Summer “ I Feel Love” in next season.
No way! After she became christian fanatic, she hated gays.
"I'll pray for you tonight."
"I've seen the evil homosexuality come out of you people... AIDS is your sin," "Now don't get me wrong; God loves you. But not the way you are now."
Also she said "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"
Audition tapes. Audition tapes! AUDITION TAPES. AUDI-
❤❤❤❤❤
👏👏👏
First🍂❤
Second!
First
MAYBE THE PRODUCERS SHOULD LOOK AT RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE, I thought kit Connor bulked up to much and him and Charlie did not FIT❤
Tbh it’s kind of sad, bc he said the main reason he started going to the gym was because ppl said he was too small to play nick
@@lcarson5071 he now looks out of place when Charlie is so thin ,

@@maryread2447 you are so wrong
I thought Nic was perfect before, this second series is very second rate
The cast is perfect not only do they look like the book charecters but they reflect them i wojuld make no changes ever
