The Runarounds Talk First Time Acting, Outer Banks, Senior Year, and New Series "The Runarounds"

Meet The Runarounds — both the cast of Prime’s new YA series and an actual IRL band comprised of singer/guitarists William Lipton and Axel Ellis, guitarist Jeremy Yun, bassist Jesse Golliher, and drummer Zendé Murdock. We unravel their origin story: who’s known each other since they were kids, who got involved thanks to casting call for a band for the series Outer Banks (another YA series created by Jonas Pate, who also helms this show), and just where do the real life band and the characters they play begin and end. Spoiler alert — there’s a lot of overlap. Their creative development as a band does mirror the arc of the show and some of the stories of how they were raised do wind up being mirrored in the script.

With the exception of William Lipton, who had a long-running role on General Hospital, all these guys were diving into acting head first with zero experience. We talk about all this plus, their indie rock influences, stunts, plot twists, moral quandaries, anxiety issues, learning to act in front of the lens, and why this took half a decade to hit our small screens. You can catch the full series on Amazon Prime Video now.
