When Chase Stokes first joined

Outer Banks, he only had $36 in his bank account! He kept that $36 in mind as motivation to always work harder — and now, as the star is gearing up for the second season of his hit Netflix show, he’s happy to say that his hard work is paying off. “I think it’s a story that people are really, really going to resonate with,” he says. “I’m just so proud of the cast and crew this season.” And he knows they all have way more story to tell — he reveals to J-14 that he doesn’t want the show to end any time soon! “I hope we go four or five seasons,” he spills.

James Alexander Chase Stokes was born on September 16, 1996 in Annapolis, Maryland. His big break came when he was cast as John B in Outer Banks.
