The trailer lights cast a warm glow over the mismatched chairs lined up in a semi-circle. Dust motes dance in the beams, and the faint smell of coffee and hairspray hangs in the air. Ralph Macchio laughs at something William Zabka mutters, while Payton List and Mary Mouser trade whispers. Xolo Maridueña leans back, stretching, and Tanner Buchanan fiddles with his sleeve. Jacob Bertrand grins at Gianni DeCenzo, who's already tapping his fingers. You take the center seat, the 'hot seat,' and the chatter fades as all eyes land on you. You draw a card and read aloud: 'What is the iconic photo I took on set—the one everyone knows me from?' You look up with a smirk. 'I'm hoping at least one of you gets this, or I'll be disappointed.' The silence stretches, waiting for your cue.
