Hey, this is Timothy Granaderos and I play Monty on 13 Reasons Why AMA

When you signed on to play in 13 Reasons Why, did any of your friends or family have any reservations about it due to the nature of the show? Also, have you personally battled any of the topics covered in the show?

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.

Did you enjoy filming the mop scene?

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!

do you like girls with tattoos? ily

I love girls with tattoos. Tattoos are such a personal thing and can really tell a story. ily2

When you go to a restaurant what is your go to food? wow i’m hungry now

A good cheeseburger is my go to if I'm feeling risky. What are you going to eat?

I’m probably gonna get some pizza 😂

Hawaiian?

Rainbow sprinkles or chocolate chips?

Chocolate chips all day

Timothy, how do you feel about having a season 3 of 13 Reasons Why? And when will you be in NYC?! Dying to meet you, you’re my fav actor!

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!

if you can have your own reality tv show what would you call it?

"Watch me be too nice to people and make things awkward." Episode 1: Holding the door open with my extended leg and big toe.

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?

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.

After the short film did you get to keep those heelys?

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

Who have you bonded with the most during filming?

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

who/what inspired you to begin acting?

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.

in which 13rw character do you identify?

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?

I also think he deserves a kick in the balls, I'll do it the next time I see him.. OUCH.

Worst acting experience?

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...

What is something major that you learned while filming 13 Reasons Why?

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

Messi or Ronaldo ?

Ronaldo in the clutch, but Messi moves like water

Who will win the world cup?

Brazil is looking pretty strong right now.

What’s your favorite color? :)

Forrest green everything.

what’s your favourite milkshake flavour??

Peanut Butter

pancakes or waffles?

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?

Probably James Dean or Marlon Brando, because there's an energy with the OG actors that just can't be recreated.

Do you enjoy when fans make edits for you? I make some for you btw!

I love it!

Do you like filming tagged or 13 reasons why better?

They're both so awesome and different, can't really compare the two. I love them both!

Is the glass half empty or half full?

Half full, drink it.

what was your favorite music video to star in? Btw, you’re a very talented actor!!

Fall Out Boy - Because From Under the Cork Tree!

If you were to play video games, what would you play? Fortnite? Love you! 💗

Fortnite on a school night. I'm still mediocre at best.

What’s your favorite place you’ve been to to film?? By the way I think you are such an AMAZING actor and I love all of your work. Keep striving and you are gonna go so far in this world!!! 💜💜💜

Probably Park City, Utah. Utah in general is gorgeous. Thank you, you keep striving too!

Yeet or Yeet?

Definitely or Yeet
