The grind don’t stop for The Other Two’s Case Walker.

On the breakout Comedy Central hit, Case charms as viral sensation ChaseDreams, who becomes famous overnight with his homemade music video “I Wanna Marry U At Recess.” It’s a whirlwind for the 13-year-old, who quickly nabs the title of “the next big white kid,” gains a management team that erupts in chaos when he gets a simple pimple, enters a fake relationship for publicity, and plenty more hilarious shenanigans. But to his older siblings Cary (Drew Tarver) and Brooke (Heléne Yorke), he’s still the same old Chase Dubek, their little bro who hops into bed with them after a long day of work.

The series has been lauded for its hilariously satirical examination of what it’s like to be gay in today’s world of Instathots and Call Me By Your Name references, including Chase’s social justicey-manufactured pop hit "My Brother’s Gay" that parodies the trend of peddling inclusivity in songs, but which is packaged like a One Direction. And while much of the series follows Cary and Brooke as they deal with their younger sibling’s sudden celebrity, Case’s Chase is the heart of the series. Many of Cary and Brooke’s moral dilemmas stem from their worry over how their decisions will affect Chase, a teen who still wants to be a kid but suddenly has millions of fans fawning over him.

Case himself garnered a huge following on Musical.ly (which recently merged with TikTok) before nabbing the role of ChaseDreams, providing a certain meta-ness and knowledge of the world of influencers and internet masses that helped flesh out his character. Ahead of the season one finale of The Other Two, which was recently renewed for a second season, Teen Vogue chatted with Case about taking on the role, what it was like filming a music video for a song titled “Stink,” and of course, chasing dreams.

Teen Vogue: Even before the show, you had a huge following on social media. But how did you first get into performing?

Case Walker: Originally when I was little, I always loved entertainment and [was]drawn to the business. I [had] always wanted to be in it, but after college or later on. I just didn't know it'd come this young. And then I started my Musical.ly just for fun. I even got bullied for it, but I just kept doing it because I sincerely enjoyed it and just kept moving on. Then I started gaining a following, literally from just being myself. I didn't have a goal of getting followers or anything. Then slowly it turned into, “oh I can make this a career” and use it to push myself into the entertainment business and mainstream stuff. I was able to do that and it really worked out, and it was just a cool path to come up through Musical.ly.

TV: You mentioned being bullied. Was there a particular experience?

CW: Every Friday night there was football games [that] all the middle schoolers would go to. We all hung out in the end zones and I got like, hit one time. My T-shirt got ripped one time. Everyone would come around and take videos of me and say mean things. It was pretty rough at one point. But I really just felt confident in myself and it didn't really bother me, just kind of knew they probably didn't understand it anyway. So I just kept doing what I was doing.

TV: And how did you get involved with The Other Two?
