ABC Family: The Secret Life of the American Teenager daren kagasoff: one-on-one, part 1

daren kagasoff: one-on-one, part 1

daren kagasoff: one-on-one, part 1

We got to talk to Daren Kagasoff about "Secret Life" and his life. Here's what he had to say.

We recently had the chance to talk to Daren Kagasoff, who plays Ricky Underwood on "The Secret Life of The American Teenager." He's not only totally hot (even over the phone!), he's also really cool, funny, and amazingly down-to-earth.

Here's a snippet of our chat, where he talks about what to expect from Ricky in Season 2 of "Secret Life."

Daren Kagasoff: Throughout the first season, I was the kid that never really took responsibility for anything. As far as hooking up with different girls and getting Amy pregnant, [Ricky] really didn't know what to do ... so I'm hoping during the second season fans will get to see Ricky change a little bit and, hopefully, get to see a better side to him. You'll definitely see him change. There's definitely a baby on the way, so he has to step up. I guess we'll see what he ends up doing.

abcfamily.com: Any fave scenes so far?

Daren: There's so much drama going on, so every scene that Ricky is in [is] very pivotal. I don't really have a particular scene that I love [most], because I love them all. But ... the last episode of the first season [which Jason Priestley directed] -- we just had such a fun time. Megan Park had some great scenes, and we had a lot of fun.

abcfamily.com: OK now, from "Secret Life" to your life ... .

Daren: To be quite honest, I'm having the time of my life. I couldn't be more thankful. The writers, the cast, everybody that's a part of the project is absolutely phenomenal ... I couldn't have lucked out in a better situation, and I'm trying to take full advantage of it. When I have time off, all I'm doing is studying for "Secret Life." Nothing else really is going on in my life, as far as other acting projects, so all my time and effort is definitely going to "Secret Life."

And it shows! Thanks, Daren!

i think that amy should go out with ricky instead of ben. ricky is the father of the baby, and he is sooo hot! and ben is not the father, and he is kind of a dork. if i had to pick, it would be ricky! Heart eyes

SPOIIILLEEEEEEEEERSSSSSSSSSSS!

The relationship between Grace and Ricky will become more physical. Amy will get a baby shower while Grace is in for a surprise. Ricky will try to woo back Amy while she and Ben will come to a decision about the baby. Pooh! seems like a season full of excitement and fun. What say guys, aren’t you already too eager to watch the show?

Does anyone else think that maybe if they have ben & amy break up & have amy go with ricky that maybe ben will be like the close guy friend? it just seems like ricky is going to step up & something may happen between amy & ricky, so it makes me wonder what will ben's role be. & i just feel like they will make him her close guy friend and maybe give him a new love interest eventually. anyone agree?
