Alright, we’re just going to come right out and declare it now: Chase Stokes is *the* breakout TV heartthrob of 2020. Not only is the 27-year-old actor undeniably easy on the eyes, but he also portrays Outer Banks‘s bandana-wearing, boat-driving, bad-guy-outrunning protagonist John B with an impressively natural ease. His character teams up with fellow Pogues JJ (Rudy Pankow), Kiara (Madison Bailey), and Pope (Jonathan Daviss) and Kook-turned-honorary-Pogue Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline) to hunt down the elusive hidden treasure his father pursued for years before going missing. Plenty of twists ensue, and Chase is captivating to watch as John B navigates each of them.
In honor of Outer Banks‘s wildly popular first season, we caught up with Chase as part of POPSUGAR’s new Q&A series, Last Call. Read ahead to learn what the talented star sings in the shower, which book he recently borrowed from girlfriend Madelyn Cline, and what new Netflix series he can’t stop watching.

Pretty bad, because I haven’t done it in a long time, so I remember sending it in, and I was like, “Oh, definitely not getting this job.” So I would say that it’s cool I have a job right now.
PS: What was the last song or album you listened to?
Ooh, that’s a good question. Let’s go to my recently played. The last song that I played was Tracy Chapman “Talkin’ About a Revolution.”
