buzzfeed: who's who.
outer banks cast | 14.

❥

Theadora sits between two of her co-stars on one of their first stops for the press tour of season one. seated on the young girls left, madelyn cline introduces herself to the camera first. "hey what's up, i'm maddie, i play sarah."

thea sits on her hands, trying to hide how nervous she truly is as she goes next. "i'm theadora james and i play ruby."

on her left, maddie bailey speaks up. "i'm madison bailey and i play kiara."

sitting in the second row directly behind madelyn, chase goes next. "hello, i'm chase and i play john b."

on his right and behind theadora is jd. "i'm jonathan daviss and i play pope."

lastly is rudy, who sits behind bailey. "hi, i'm rudy pankow, i play jj."

knowing this is their cue, thea nervously glances at maddie beside her, joining in as they simultaneously introduce the interview. "we're the cast of outer banks and we're playing who's who with buzzfeed!"

"all right, that's perfect." off screen, the producer feeds them questions that will later be displayed on the viewers screen. "first question: who's the most similar to their character?"

all six cast members point to one another. "i feel like we're all kinda like our character."madelyn explains, gesturing to her co-stars.

"yeah, everybody pretty much." jd nods in agreement. "we should honestly all just point to ourselves."

theadora and the rest of the cast nod, each pointing to themselves. the producer chuckles as his first question backfires. "okay, who's most different from their character?"

theadora immediately points to madelyn, while everyone else chooses her. surprised, the teen looks around. "wait, really?"

"a hundred percent." chase explains, looking down at the younger girl. "it's not bad, you're personalities are just so different. you're definitely the same in some ways, but different in a lot more."

"yeah. rue is loud and annoying." rudy adds, "you're
like, quiet and tolerable."

theadora scoffs. "wow, thanks." the older blonde winks in return.

"next question." the producer moves on. "who's most likely to show up to set late with a cup of coffee?"

this time, everyone points between bailey and theadora. the latter shrugs. "okay, true, but it's baileys fault. she brings me; i can't drive."

madison playfully rolls her eyes. "don't act like you don't remind me to stop at starbucks everyday." thea sets her lips in a straight line, silently leaning back into her chair. "however, i have been known to take the time stamp off of my pink drink. i was like "traffic", i didn't say where. it was, in fact, in the drive through..."

thea cracks a smile, adding, "no, we had these from earlier..."

their castmates laugh as the interviewer continues on. "who's most likely to be found at craft services?"

immediately theadora juts a finger in chases direction. "with a bag of cheeze-it's."

bailey looks between chase and thea, unsure. "it's one of the two; it's clementines over here—"

thea feigns a look of shock, coming to her own defense. "but i would eat them before we start shooting. i would just like—"

"somehow." chase shakes his head in disbelief. "somehow she could put down six of those little oranges in one sitting."

theadora hums, smiling proudly. "it's my hidden talent."

"impressive." the interviewer nods with approval. "who takes the longest to get ready on set?"

while theadora, bailey, jd, and even chase point to the latter himself, madelyn and rudy choose bailey. madison gasps, "no!"

"it's chase!" theadora defends. "he's always the last one out."

chase shrugs. "yeah, i'll take it."

"it's self tanner, it's bruises and like black eyes, it's all the special effects and stuff." madison explains. "i get that."

"and look at his locks." jd adds, "they don't just like, come out."

"yeah, that's not natural."

"makes sense." the interviewer nods. "who's the most likely to pull a prank while on set?"

everyone immediately points to rudy, who smirks knowingly. "no, i'm not; i actually think it's thea."

"oh yeah!" chase remembers. "she had that really good one she did to our stunt coordinator."

theadora groans, causing her cast members to laugh as she explains. "i had to get our stunt coordinator back 'cause he did something to me 'cause i put a hole in the wall—that's a different story. we were shooting a stunt for a very intense fight scene, and we choreographed it. they were nervous about letting me do the stunt myself, because i had to kind of let myself fly to the ground pretty roughly. so i do it, and i pretend to hit the ground super hard and act like i actually hit my head on the rock instead of just acting it out."

"and it was like a whole thing because she's a minor." jd chimes in. "they're always extra careful with her cause it would be the worst thing ever if she even stubbed her damn toe."

"it was so much fun." thea recalls proudly. "i threw myself on the ground and started groaning, 'my head, i actually hit my head!' and when he ran over i flipped him off and was like, "fuck you dude."

her older cast members chuckle. the interviewer smiles before continuing. "who's the most likely to forget their lines?"

everyone points to chase, who shrugs in acceptance. "i'm gonna go ahead and throw myself under the bus." he gestures to theadora. "she is like a human dictionary our entire season. i would be mid scene and i'd be like 'what am i supposed to say?'"

thea shrugs. "to be fair he does say a lot."

"who's most likely to nail a scene in one take?"

the cast all points to their youngest member, including theadora herself. jd explains, "tj for sure. she can kill it—she'll kill it."

"stop, thank you." theadora blushes as the interviewer moves on, asking, "who's most likely to tag someone in a meme?"

the group laughs, pointing unanimously to jd who only shrugs. "i'm a meme guy."

"honestly, it is a not a normal week if i don't get at least two dms of memes from jd." madison admits.

"i send them to everybody. the spongebob memes are like—they work for everything. they're just really good." jd defends. "i really like that meme of Idris Elba on Hot Ones where he's like—" he coughs, miming eating spicy chicken.

the interviewer laughs lightly before asking his next question. "who's most likely to be caught napping on set?"

theadora shrugs, gesturing to all of her castmates. they disagree, instead pointing to their youngest member. "i would say thea but it's not, like, on set."madison explains. "it's like, 'where's thea?' in her trailer, knocked out."

jd nods in agreement."it's gotta be thea. i remember one time we filmed pretty late at night, and thea was supposed to go home, and she was like 'i'll just nap'. how long were you there? till like 3am?"

"3am, yeah." madelyn recalls. "i was her ride and when i wrapped i was like 'where the hell is thea?'"

thea only shrugs. "what can i say; i love my sleep."

"maybe a little too much sometimes..." rudy teases. "it was like five o'clock when she went to sleep."

bailey laughs. "yeah, sounds about right."

"who's most likely to give relationship advice?"

everyone immediately answers jd, who shrugs in agreement. "probably me."

"jd is super neutral." bailey adds, nodding. "i'd say he's the most neutral out of everybody."

"who's most likely to randomly start singing on set?" the group immediately points to madison, who rolls her eyes and points to herself. jd turns to gesture to chase. "you too. he kept singing rich girl by hall & oates on set and now it's stuck in my head."

"who's most likely to be caught taking a selfie?"
everyone immediately points to bailey, who huffs. "okay, okay, we get it. but y'all are welcome for all the bts that all came from my cell phone."

"i dunno." madelyn arches an eyebrow. "thea takes a pretty hefty amount of snapchats."

"shush." theadora hisses. "i gotta keep my private story fed."

"who's most likely to survive on a desert island?" thea, madelyn, and jd all quickly point to rudy while bailey only shrugs. "we're all dead."

"i don't know—i wanna have a riff-off here." chase speaks up.

"i mean rudy is from alaska." thea debates, backtracking her own argument. "wait, but chase lived in florida."

jd snorts. "yeah, so two of the most dangerous places in the world."

"it's not us." bailey points between herself and madelyn. "anybody but us."

maddie nods in agreement, adding, "i'd root for thea, though. she's got better survival instincts than any of us."

"whats that discovery show?" chase pauses in thought. "naked...naked and afraid!"

"we should do that—" jd starts as chase interrupts, "rudy would just show up completely naked, sitting in a truck..." he trails off and jd finishes, "but not afraid. never afraid."

"who's best at doing impressions of other cast members?" the interviewer asks his final question and everyone points at jd, who shakes his head. "i don't know... thea does a pretty damn good rafe impression."

"oh my god, it's so funny." madelyn giggles as thea holds a finger to her lips. "my secret talent that will never be put anywhere on the internet."

"i have so many videos of jd, but not just of him doing impressions of us." chase shares, "it's a, what, twelve minute video of you doing a morgan freeman impression over hermit crabs."

"like doing, like, 'march of the penguins' with crabs." jd clears his throat, beginning his impression. "well hello there, you're listening to the sweet, silky, silvery voice of morgan freeman. today we're going to be discussing superlatives. why in high school, i was voted most likely to narrate your life. at six years old, my voice dropped..."

the group laughs in amusement as the producer turns off the cameras. "that was great guys, thank you!"
