Could you imagine JJ as John B.? Well, it almost happened. OuterBanks
Everything to Know About 'Outer Banks'
“Originally, I was going out — the first chemistry read — I was John B., and everything was pretty much lined up until the last chemistry read when they were like, ‘We’re not sure yet,'” the actor, 22, said. “So I actually read through Rafe, JJ [and] John B. within like two weeks. They were not sure which character and they flew me out to Charleston saying, ‘You’re going to be one of these characters, but I didn’t know which one. The last audition I did in L.A. was John B.
The Alaska native then noted that he’s happy he landed the role of JJ — and actually told the creator that’s what he wanted to do.“Jonas actually asked me — this is crazy — literally after the chemistry read in L.A. after I read for John B. I think this is why he was not sure, now I’m thinking about it, he was like, ‘John B. or JJ?’ And I said JJ because I loved the character. I thought he was somebody completely unlike myself, but I saw similarities,” Pankow said.
