A star of the long-running Canadian high school drama Degrassi: The Next Generation celebrates the show's impact on culture and his life.
Degrassi: The Next Generation star Jake Epstein has reflected on the impact of the series both on society at large and his own life. The long-running high school drama is one in a long line of Canadian television series that began with The Kids of Degrassi Street and includes Degrassi Junior High , Degrassi High , Degrassi: The Next Generation , and Degrassi: Next Class .
At the time, you never know what kind of impact something you’re in is going to have. And when I was doing Degrassi, I mean, it felt really special and authentic. I loved the character that I was playing,” he shared. “It’s only really been in years after that I’ve really realized that a lot of those stories meant a lot to a lot of people who are maybe going through similar things and felt some comfort in that. So yeah, I feel like I take a lot of pride to be part of it.
It was my second high school. I probably spent more time on set filming at Degrassi than I was in my actual high school. So when I do run into people, it is a real high school reunion — more real than my real-life high school reunion.
