Just ask Dule Hill and Elisha “E.J.” Williams, the stars of the ABC reboot.
“Not everybody lives the same life,” Williams says. “You have some kids who aren’t even in the entertainment business and are still homeschooled, so one person’s normalcy isn’t another person’s normalcy.” “The possibilities are endless,” Hill says. “Writers have endless imagination, so you never know where a story could land.”They’ve bonded in different ways and now Williams ask non-showbiz advice.
That early start to their careers is a common bond. “I started as a young actor and, seeing where he is, there are a lot of things that I can relate to,” the former “West Wing” star says. “I wouldn’t go so far as to say I see myself reflected because I think that takes away from the gift that is E.J. But I do admire the journey that he’s on and the way he’s handling the success that he’s having.”
