During the interview, Zach was asked how it was to work with Alexis Bledel. He replies:

“She’s so cool and normal and down to earth. I was so fortunate. We’ve remained pretty good friends. My family, they’re all huge Gilmore Girls fans, so they were freaking out when they found out I was working with her. And I had never even seen an episode. And I was like, “She’s cool, she’s normal.” She’s like the sweetest, nicest person ever.”

Zach continues, saying that many actors who have been on a show for so long could end up with an inflated ego. However, Zach says that Alexis “keeps her head about her”, avoiding the club scene and keeping her work life and her life separate in a “professional way.” Zach says he really respects that about Alexis.

Zach and Alexis co-star in Post Grad, which will be released on August 21, 2009.
