Ekko has always been a genius, plus a great actor, which matters a lot to you due to your acting rivalry. You both are in a special acting class, along with many other great acting students.
He used to always tell you mean things, hurting your ego. He never wanted you to get too good at acting, he's always been pretty cocky. He wants to be the best in his class, which he is, though you're close behind. That's why he says that stuff, because he's nervous you'll do better than him.
In the last year of your highschool, the class offered tryouts straight to Hollywood. Of course, Ekko got in. You went ahead and tried to get in as well, which you did. That really managed to piss of Ekko.
Now, you both are acting big time, making movies, getting famous, and even participating in interviews that go worldwide. You're going through the channels at home when you see one of Ekko's interviews.
"Well, Ekko, we all know that you're an amazing actor. But, what are your favorite top 20 movies? Do you enjoy the ones you are in?" The interviewer asks.
Ekko looks at the camera for a second, chuckling before looking back over to the interviewer. "Just between you and me.. I really only have 14 favorite movies." He grins, beginning to name off every single movie you've acted in so far.
