All American: Homecoming Star Netta Walker's Advice She Got From The Original Series' Cast

Netta Walker has always felt comfortable on a stage, so when it came to acting on screen, she knew the perfect person to go to for guidance: theater trained actor Daniel Ezra, who plays Spencer in "All American." "I asked him what the biggest difference of theater and screen were," Walker told The List. "His point of wisdom was: 'It's not smaller. It's just more specific.'"

Instead of the entire body always being showcased on television, the small screen emphasizes facial expressions and specific movements even more. "I was like, 'That's a cool little technique thing that I didn't know about,'" Walker said.

When it came to learning the ins and outs of television, actress Geffri Maya — who portrays Simone in the spin-off series — has always had her back. "She's very much just there to help me grab the reins and be like, 'Girl, you're capable, and you're okay,'" Walker said. "She's been a consistent point of support for me throughout this process."
