THE STAR SCOOP:
You have the film “The Internship” coming up.

HARVEY GUILLEN:
Yeah! Nationwide – Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne. It has a great cast and was such fun.

THE STAR SCOOP:
It’s an excellent cast! Were you able to take anything away from working with such a well-established group of people?

HARVEY GUILLEN:
Yeah! It was great. Vince is so professional. He’s a producer and writer on the movie and just so funny. It’s just like watching him do a scene, he’s so good at it, it’s a
little class, watching him.

Owen is just so cool and laid back. These are regular people who are just phenomenal at what they do. I just fell in love with Rose Byrne. I’ve been a big fan
before…and just to work with her, [she’s] the nicest, nicest, nicest person.

I made really good friends with the other cast members like Jessica Szohr and Dylan O’Brien. And Eric Andre, so funny. You couldn’t look anywhere without being
entertained or just learning something from each other. It was awesome just to be on the set every day.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Tell us more about “The Internship” and where you fit into the story.

HARVEY GUILLEN:
It’s Vince and Owen’s characters lose their job and they want to get these internship jobs at Google so they have to go through the process. They apply to be interns at Google and they’re the oldest people there. Most of the of the interns are fresh out of school, and that’s where my character comes [in].

I play Zachary Ryan and he’s still attending Harvard, in his last year. He’s kind of a genius. He’s a genius but he’s also socially awkward in the sense that his clothes are picked out for him by his mom, and [wears] high-waisted pants or shorts [laughs]. He wants to get an internship at Google as well.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Another project you’ve been working on is “Aztec Warrior.” What can you tell us about that?

HARVEY GUILLEN:
“Aztec Warrior” is with Nadine Velazquez from “My Name is Earl” and Luis Guzmán which has become like a father figure to me. He’s the nicest guy. I actually helped his
daughter move into her dorm up her in LA right after wrap.

I learned so much from just watching him. He’s been in the business for so long. He’s in everything! I’m excited for that as well. It’s going to be a really fun film to
watch.

THE STAR SCOOP:
You are also involved in a Youtube series. A lot of actors have been getting involved in online and digital projects. What made you want to be involved in a Youtube series like Up in Smoke?

HARVEY GUILLEN:
What made me want to do anything in the web was my friend Holly. Her character has become a huge, huge sensation and she flies around the world just to show this
character she created. So she convinced me. You can go to Youtube and subscribe to my Youtube page, youtube.com/harveyguillen. It encouraged me to do more on the web side.

THE STAR SCOOP:
We loved “Huge” and were really disappointed when it didn’t continue. It was a couple years ago. Have you grown as an actor since and learned a lot over the last few years that have helped you get where you are now?

HARVEY GUILLEN:
Absolutely. I think that I have learned a lot in the last couple years. Alistair will always be a part of me…such a great character and I loved playing Alistair. I think
Alistair was voted as the #1 male character on the show, which I was like, whoa, blown away when it was on.

People really did relate to Alistair because there is a little bit of Alistair in all of us where we were at once point, shy and scared and scared of trying new things and
scared to be who we are meant to be.

I had such a great experience playing that. My sister on the show was Ashley Holliday and in real life, Ashley is one of my dearest and closest friends now, and one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met.

THE STAR SCOOP:
What would you like your fans to know about you?

HARVEY GUILLEN:
I am writing more. I actually am more on the writing side a lot right now. I just mentioned Ashley Holliday – we’re working on a project together, writing something.
I’m also writing a book, so I’m kind of crossing over into different parts of the entertainment industry just to try different things. Producing, writing and directing…I want to try it all!
