We spoke with 'Bel-Air' star Olly Sholotan about season two, winning over audiences, and Carlton and Will's friendship.
[Editor's note: The following contains some spoilers for Season 2 of Bel-Air.]After the events of Season 1, the second season of the Peacock original series Bel-Air finds Will rebuilding trust with the Banks family while pointing the spotlight at himself when it comes to wanting to shine on the basketball team. And with Will and Carlton on better terms, and someone new catching Will’s eye, he’s going to have to figure out what his priorities truly are.
I have to say, the change in their relationship from the original series was probably the only thing I didn’t like about this reimagining when it started, but I also trusted that it would go somewhere. I also love that, just when I thought it was at the point where I might be past being able to like Carlton, that dynamic really flipped.
When the opportunity to do this show and play this character originally came your way, was there ever any hesitation on your part? The original Carlton, in the sitcom, was such a specific character, so did it ever concern you to take on this role, knowing that it would not be what people expected? And it’s not even just the two of you. It feels like this whole family is a pretty tight knit group. What’s it like to have the scenes when the whole family is together? Is that just organized chaos?
What has most surprised you about finding and working within this family dynamic? Is there anything that you didn’t realize, until you were all on set together? I really appreciate that this show addresses issues head-on. When it comes to Carlton, a big issue for him is his anxiety, and how he deals with it or doesn’t deal with it. How has that been to incorporate into who Carlton is, and to explore that in such a real and authentic way?
Obviously, you’re acting, but physically, your body doesn’t necessarily know that you’re just pretending for a scene. It’s nice to see him get to have a little bit of romance, but at the same time, you can feel how that’s maybe not the thing he should be dealing with, until he fixes himself a little bit first. How will that be for him, this season? Will he be able to explore that a little bit more, or should he deal with himself first?
