This week, Tommy is joined by actor David Henrie who left an impact on a generation with his portrayal of Justin Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. Now, both OG and new audiences are getting to know this iconic character in Season 2 of the spin-off, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. Today, David opens up about what he’s most fond of when he thinks back on his time of originating his role in Wizards of Waverly Place, what growing up in the spotlight was really like for him, if he ever wanted to give up or quit, if he ever thought he would play Justin Russo again, how the idea came to be over the course of many conversations with former co-star Selena Gomez, the nerves he felt before playing Justin again, directing his very first episode, how his friendship with Selena has evolved over the years, the piece of wedding advice he gave her, the piece of advice he wishes he was given as an 18-year-old Disney star and wants to pass on to future generations, the kinds of stories he hopes to tell in the future with his production company, the top secret project he is announcing for the very first time, and so much more.
