Evan (Brian Jordan Alvarez) is the protagonist of English Teacher, but whenever his former colleague and ex Malcolm (Jordan Firstman) is around, it feels like he’s the main character in the story. While Evan’s relationship with Malcolm got him into some trouble with parents and the administration, the arc of the first season suggests that maybe they are right for each other after all.
Awards Buzz spoke with Firstman about how this character does bring chaos but is still the least chaotic role he’s had so far in his career. Watch the video above to hear about working with Alvarez and the rest of the cast, and what to expect from the upcoming season two.
Season one of English Teacher is available to stream on Hulu.
