Chance Perdomo was a fan of The Boys and auditioned for a role

When Gen V premiered in 2023, it turned out to be another successful series for Amazon Prime Video. One reason behind the success was the fact that it was a spin-off of The Boys, also released on the same streaming platform.

Back in November last year, Chance Perdomo told Variety that he once went to audition for the role of Hughie from The Boys.

Perdomo continued by saying he wanted to watch the show even if he was not selected for the character. He added:

"I watched 'The Boys' and I think, 'Wow this has never been done, it's amazing.' So then to get Andre was such a blessing because I come into it and I get to enjoy the playground that is 'The Boys' universe."

Chance also said that he wanted the producers to explore his relationship with Cate. He even claimed in the interview that he was happy to see Karl Urban making a cameo appearance towards the end of Gen V. He described the entire moment as "perfect."
