Falling In Love With an "Imposter" and Season 2 of "Imposters"
Bravo's original scripted series "Imposters" is back for a second season on April 5th. The complicated show leaves viewers wondering what it's like to both date a con artist, and be a con artist.
Rob Heaps plays Ezra Bloom in the popular Bravo show and he joins Cheddar to give a teaser on what to expect in the new season. Heaps says the second season starts with the need to get rid of a ring worth millions.
Heaps says he laughed out loud when he first read the "Imposters" pilot. He found it to be both humorous and surprising.
For Heaps, the exciting part of playing this character is the relatability. Everyone has fallen in love, everyone has been lied to, and everyone has felt cheated.
