Goosebumps Series \u2013 official trailer<\/h3>\n

Former Eastenders star Zack Morris had to madly dash to Canada in less than 24 hours after landing his Hollywood break.<\/p>\n

The actor, who appeared as Keegan Baker for three years, was given his first major role since leaving the BBC soap in Disney+ series, Goosebumps, last year.<\/p>\n

However, his getting the part came with a major catch as he was told mere hours before he was due on set on the other side of the world.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Daily Express<\/strong>, Goosebumps creators Rob Letterman and Nick Stoller detailed how they managed to find their leading man in Zach, who stars as troubled jock Isaiah in the new hit series.<\/p>\n

\u201cNick and I were looking at so many people, and it was getting really close to when we had to shoot – like uncomfortably close. We’re talking days away,\u201d Letterman told us.<\/p>\n

After impressing the pair over a string of Zoom calls, he ran through the audition process quickly, with Letterman adding, \u201cThis is all taking place for him around 2am in England.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, it paid off.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe signed off, he said ‘I’m gonna go to sleep’ […] and we all huddled up with the heads of Disney and the head of Sony and we’re like, ‘it’s him’. That’s great. We’re going to do this… but we need him in Vancouver in 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

So the call of a lifetime quickly caused action stations for the 25-year-old actor. \u201cZack woke up five hours later to plane tickets.<\/p>\n
