Hey, this is Timothy Granaderos and I play Monty on 13 Reasons Why AMA
I can currently be seen starring Montgomery De La Cruz on the Netflix original series “13 Reasons Why.” Season two is airing now on Netflix. I also play Ash Franklin in the HULU/go90/AwesomenessTV thriller drama series “T@gged.”

EDIT: Thank you all so much! I had a lot of fun answering your questions! Stay weird.

Friends and family were very supportive, no reservations. Many of the issues addressed in the show were bundled up in my High School experience but I always tried to stand up for the kids that were bullied because my Mama raised me right.

As an artist it was fun to challenge myself, as a human being it was disturbing to the point of having a splitting headache.

If you weren’t cast as Montgomery, who else would you have loved to play on 13 Reasons Why?

I would say Justin Foley, who I actually auditioned for, but that beautiful, talented, Brandon Flynn got it instead. Justin is sensitive and deep.

Have you had any issues with people reacting angrily to you in real life/online because of your characters actions?

Fortunately no, the fans are passionate but in the best way possible. If you see me on the street, come say hi!

TimothyGranaderos29 karma
Beyond excited! As a fan, I'm excited to see where the story goes. I'd love to come to NY, ASAP because I have friends and family there, I'll let you know via Instagram!

Loved your work as Monty on 13 Reasons Why, such a gripping performance. What does it take mentally to get into that character and the things he does?
TimothyGranaderos42 karma
Thank you, that means a lot. Lots of research and preparation trying to understand the mind of a Monty. I think the root of Monty's actions come from personal pain, and a lack of being able to properly understand those emotions.

I'm wearing them right now.. just kidding, but I have them at home, and I'll be hitting the Venice boardwalk soon.

The jocks, because we spend so much time together. Our scenes are basically teenage boys with no parents around.

I always liked being the class clown. I played soccer my whole life, but once I realized I wasn't Messi or Ronaldo, my drive for being an athlete transitioned into performing in front of the camera.

Probably Zach Dempsey in season 2 because he was always trying to do the right thing.

I think that Montgomery deserves a good kick in the balls... What do you think about it, Timothy?
TimothyGranaderos43 karma
I also think he deserves a kick in the balls, I'll do it the next time I see him.. OUCH.

I was shooting a commercial and I named the competitor instead of the actual company that hired me on accident. The commercial didn't air...

Everything you say and do, or don't say and do, can directly impact someone in ways that you can't even comprehend.

Pancakes. If you're ever in LA, the Mikey Fitz at the 101 Cafe will do you right!

If you could work with any celebrity living or dead who would you choose and why?
TimothyGranaderos4 karma
Probably James Dean or Marlon Brando, because there's an energy with the OG actors that just can't be recreated.
TimothyGranaderos5 karma
They're both so awesome and different, can't really compare the two. I love them both!
