“Because I knew that if I didn’t get it right, I would be disappointing myself, and the autistic community as well.”
“I just decided that I really had to fully commit myself to the research leading up to it, and I had to ask as many people that are specialists all the questions that I had,” Worthy said ahead of his first appearance on the series-in Episode 4, “Stay Inside,” which premieres Wednesday. After all, Godejohn is still alive, serving out a life sentence in prison he also has autism spectrum disorder, unlike Worthy, who is neurotypical. It’s a completely committed performance, which reflects Worthy’s determination to get things right. But after his first episode of The Act airs Wednesday, he’ll be known as someone else: Nick Godejohn, the hapless pizza-shop employee who murdered the abusive mother of his girlfriend, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, in 2015.Īs Godejohn, Worthy is both empathetic and creepy-a loner you kind of, sort of, root for, until you remember the horrific act he and Gypsy (played in the series by Joey King) eventually committed together. Binge-watching millennials probably recognize him as Alex Trimboli, the incurably geeky outcast from American Vandal’s first season.
Younger viewers might instantly identify him as Dez, the aspiring director who obsessively films everything in the Disney series Austin & Ally. Canadian actor Calum Worthy has been many things to many people.
