By the time Ian Loren saw the casting notice in Back Stage for the web series "Six Roots," the audition had already taken place. He responded to the notice nevertheless, hoping he would get a chance to be seen. The role of the gay son of a single mother in a family of six, along with the concept of the web series, appealed to him. "It was a different take on the whole urban/black family drama," Loren says. "When I read the character Gerard, I knew that people would like him. I knew this guy."Stephanie Wynne, writer-producer-director of "Six Roots," was taken with the email from her prospective Gerard, noting that Loren's words conveyed energy, attitude, and willingness. But Wynne was not completely sold on Loren for the role. "When I first met with Stephanie, she said to me, 'You are not what I envisioned for Gerard,' " Loren says.
