Everyone remembers life's growing pains right after you leave your parents' home. For Jack Innanen, part of the ensemble of the new FX series Adults, there are certain things that made him feel like an adult really quick. "Tax season and when I'm working on my visa, those ones get me locked in. I'm like, 'Oh, I'm a man in the eyes of the government.'" Before Innanen was cast as Paul Baker on Adults—only the second project he auditioned for after moving to New York City from Canada—he was best known for his viral social media presence. "It's a completely different beast," he says about creating social content versus filming a show. "They're not the same at all." But he knows how fortunate he is. "I don't even know if I understand the trajectory to whatever mix of luck and serendipity I've found myself in." And he loves that Adults shows a group of young people trying to make sense of it all. "The veil of adulthood has come down, and I think the show really plays into that. It's trying to figure out who you are, how you exist as a proper adult."
