Is it a raucous set, with all the young actors? Are you playing pranks on one another?

I was talking to Milo about this the other day. We're so - we have so much work to do that it's been a little bit - we're careful how much we fool around. The set is fun,

and I love the crew. When we're all together, we have the greatest time. Unfortunately, we're not together all that much, because of the way the scenes are written.

Where are you living these days?

I grew up in Rockland County. We just made the move to L.A., my parents and younger brother.

What's that like, going from East Coast to West?

I love the sun - that's the great thing about L.A. But what I miss the most about New York is having my friends so close, right down the street, and not miles and miles away.

Well, no doubt all those friends from home are pleased to see all the success you've had in TV, film ... and now music. I understand you've got a debut CD that drops in February.

I'm really looking forward to that. I've been singing since I was little. Did jingles and a lot of voice work when I was younger. It's been a long time in the making - I've been working on this album for a while.

What kind of music is it?

Well, I find it hard to categorize songs. It's a mixture - probably pop rock. I co-wrote all the songs. It's been a blast. I'm used to portraying people other than myself. Now it's ... it's like giving people a little taste of me.
