" Seventeen: Congratulations on How To Rock! What makes you so excited to be part of the show? Why should we tune in? Noah Crawford: Thank you! I&amp;#039;m having a lot of fun with it. How To Rock is about a girl named Kacey Simon, who is the most popular girl at school. She&amp;#039;s the leader of this clique at school called The Perfs, they&amp;#039;re like the mean girls. One day, she gets braces and glasses at the same time so The Perfs kick her out and say she&amp;#039;s not cool enough to chill with them anymore. Then, she ends up joing our band, Gravity5 as the lead singer. That&amp;#039;s where my character comes in. I&amp;#039;m Nelson and play keyboard in the band. Nelson is like an evil genius, without the evil part. He&amp;#039;s always coming up with crazy ideas, like how to get snacks without ever leaving the couch or a way to make money at school. He also gets really, really nervous whever he talks to girls. 17: The mix of music and comedy sounds super fun. NC: Yeah, we have all original music which is cool too. 17: Do you play the keycboards in real life? NC: I do! I played keyboard and piano before the show, but not too much. I was no Beethovan or anything. When I got on the show, I started practicing more. 17: Are you into science in real life? NC: I haven&amp;#039;t been all that into science in real life, but playing this character I wish I was because he can literally build anything he wants for any type of situation. It&amp;#039;s an incredible skill if anyone can actually do that. 17: What can you say about the episodes coming up? Can you give us any spoilers? NC: Yeah! In one upcming episode, Gravity5 is making their first music video. I won&amp;#039;t tell you how it happens, but one thing leads to another and we all end up falling into a kiddie pool filled with mac-and-cheese. It was the messiest thing I&amp;#039;ve ever done in my life. My clothes were just stuck to me. And when I was in the shower, I found cheese in my ears. 17: So did you not want to eat mac-and-cheese for a while after that? NC: A week went by and I forced myself to have some and then I was OK. 17: Who are you closest to on set? NC: We&amp;#039;re all pretty close. We all chill off-set. Chris O&amp;#039;Neal and I play best friends on the show and we get along really well in real life too. He&amp;#039;s hilarious. But we are all good friends and sometimes we&amp;#039;ll go have movie nights at Max Schneider or Halston Sage&amp;#039;s house. 17: Are you similar to Nelson in any ways? NC: We&amp;#039;re similar in the fact that neither of us really knows how to talk to girls. That&amp;#039;s why I like playing Nelson. He&amp;#039;s not the type of guy who likes a new girl every week. He likes one girl and he really has the best intentions when he&amp;#039;s trying to talk to her, but it doesn&amp;#039;t work out. And I can relate to that. Watch How To Rock Saturdays at 8:30 PM/9:30 PM Central on Nickelodeon. Keep up with Noah by following him on Twitter! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
