“#Darren Barnet on ‘Never Have I Ever,’ sudden fame, and more<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Darren Barnet is a rising star at the center of two Netflix hits: teen series<\/a> \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d and rom com \u201cLove Hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was interesting, because the show [\u2018Never Have I Ever\u2019] dropped during Covid, so it wasn\u2019t like I was in many places where I could be recognized,\u201d Barnet, 30, told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, I went to New York and it was kind of overwhelming\u2026and I recently went to Costa Rica and that showed me how strong the fan base is internationally. It was the first time I felt famous, which was fun but a lot to handle. But I really do love it when fans come up to say hi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-created by Mindy Kaling, \u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d follows Indian American teen girl Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) who is torn between two boys at her high school: prickly academic Ben (Jaren Lewison) and popular jock Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Barnet).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fun getting into the mind of a character like that because he\u2019s the guy that everyone wanted to be in high school,\u201d said Barnet. \u201cHe\u2019s kind of the opposite of what I was like in high school. I was not a nerd, I\u2019d say I was well-liked, but I was not by any means popular. I was quiet and I was consistently the new kid. I did play sports, I played lacrosse. But our team was atrocious so there are no bragging rights, there!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNever Have I Ever\u201d has been renewed for a Season 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m allowed to say [much about it]\u201d he said. \u201cWe go into production at the end of the month. The love triangle definitely is remaining strong. It\u2019s all of the drama and comedy with even more to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLove Hard\u201d (now streaming) is also a love triangle, following Natalie (Nina Dobrev, \u201cThe Vampire Diaries\u201d), a writer who connects to her perfect match on a dating app<\/a>, only to meet him and discover that Josh (Jimmy O. Yang) was talking to her using photos of his friend Tag (Barnet).<\/p>\n

\u201cJimmy and Nina were both so easy to play off of,\u201d he said. \u201cI love to improv any chance I get, and they\u2019re in the same lane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although his most prominent roles to date have been playing romantic leads, Barnet is also producing and starring in the thriller movie \u201cApophenia,\u201d which he described as \u201cThe Shining\u201d meets \u201cShutter Island.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI welcome it for what it\u2019s worth and I enjoy the ride [of playing a romantic lead],\u201d he said. \u201cBut, I\u2019m looking forward to spreading my wings and trying different things.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to his rom coms, Barnet, who is mixed race Asian American, is also voice acting in several upcoming animated series for Netflix, including \u201cSamurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles\u201d and \u201cBlue Eye Samurai.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can really thank Mindy Kaling and the show for opening those doors,\u201d he said. \u201cMindy was the one who highlighted my Japanese heritage on the show. And both animations that I\u2019m doing with Netflix are based in the world of Samurai. It\u2019s really rewarding to do characters like that.\u201d\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
