In the chaos of Chase’s sudden rise to tween stardom ( “Justin Bieber if he was gentle” ), the show’s narrative privileges Brooke (the aspiring dancer turned manager) and Cary (the gay actor longing for legitimacy). Tony, the youngest child still living at home, appears in only 38% of Season 1’s screentime.
