Gavin Lewis plays Moody Richardson on Hulu’s adaptation of the Celeste Ng best-seller “Little Fires Everywhere” — an aptly named character, given the fact the teen’s life is plagued by unreciprocated feelings for his new friend Pearl (Lexi Underwood). To make matters worse for Moody, though he doesn’t know it yet, Pearl is falling for his big brother Trip (Jordan Elsass) and recently slept with the ladies man. To make matters even worse, Trip might be falling for Pearl in return.
Ah, young unrequited love, a complicated thing that Lewis says is “really fun to play.”
“It is a lot of fun,” the 16-year-old actor told TheWrap.
