Halston Sage takes a quick phone call on the set of her new NBC pilot in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon.

JJJ caught up with the 19-year-old over the weekend at the 2013 Kids’ Choice Awards where she chatted with us about the new project and reuniting with Max Schneider.

“The odds of working on another show with a former cast mate, again, are just so slim. I’m so grateful that it happened at all,” she shared.

Halston added about her character, “I play Amber Fitch, who is the class president and is kind of friends with everyone. She sort of becomes the leader of the group when they’re taken and tries to keep everyone strong.”
