On aBC’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, 22-year-old newcomer Daren Kagasoff plays ricky. and ricky is no role model. in the very first episode of the very first season, he finds out that he has gotten 15-year-old amy pregnant—at band camp. Over the show’s two seasons he proceeds to sleep his way through his high school class, often treating his lovers with wild insensitivity. and yet, Kagasoff makes ricky likeable, even sympathetic. it’s a neat trick, one that’s earned him teen heartthrob status seemingly overnight. Kagasoff landed the role after just a handful of auditions. he’s the kind of guy that was popular in high school, a star on the baseball team, and then waltzed into hollywood and straight onto a sought-after show. he makes life look easy. with The Secret Life renewed for a third season, Kagasoff’s buzz is beginning to spill over into other projects. One look at these pictures and it’s easy to see why. JaCob brown
You’ve got one of those faces—who do girls say you look like? i get Luke Perry and James Dean a lot.
And who do you want to be compared to? Leonardo DiCaprio and emile hirsch. with Leo, it’s beyond the fact that he is a moneymaking machine. he is really
conscious about his material and takes every character he plays to a place the writers probably never even anticipated. emile hirsch is just so respectable. he works for the art of it and that kind of passion transcends the screen.
So this character of yours, Ricky, has quite a sex life. Any real-life experiences you’ve brought to the show? well, i haven’t used any personal life experiences in playing ricky. at least not yet…
Any new projects on the horizon? i love tV but i would also love to do movies, to play roles that will challenge me, roles people don’t expect me to play. i also want to do theater, probably something off
Broadway.
