When discussing their favorite part of this mockumentary, Bassett shared that he liked when his character finally said “I love you” to Nini.
“It was such a thrill to film because it felt like the whole season was leading up to that moment,” Bassett said during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “And I remember filming that day, I felt so alive and we were both so in it and it was so intense and so surreal and yeah, it was a dream to film. I’m so excited for people to see it. But yeah, episode 10 was probably my favorite moment between Nini and Ricky.”
These actors also play a role in the second season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, now with some characters starring in East High School’s production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.
