1. Denis said that he show gets into Yates’s life and we are going to see a lot about how he became who he is, thanks to his wife delving into his psyche. He didn’t give too much away, but it promises to be a deep, intense storyline.

There is going to be some inner turmoil and emotion involved in the role, but you will need to tune in to see what it all means.
3. One of his favorite memories was filming on location because he got to experience the culture. He also loved the family vibe and compared it to being at a summer camp. For him, it was a joy and an honor to work with everyone, especially Josh, who is someone he ended up bonding with both personally and professionally.
4. He is also working on some other shorts and other writing projects. He didn’t give too much away, but I can promise that you are going to love it!
5. Denis is a twin! He has a twin sister who is one minute older than him and works as a speech therapist. His family is very important to him and loves them very deeply.
