However, as he delved into the character Charles Rowland, he felt something about the role that attracted him.

Revri described his arrival to the role as "quite surreal" because when he was about to tell his agent about his intention to audition, his agent called him saying that he had gotten Revri an audition for Charles. A week after submitting his recording, he landed the role and continued auditioning with other actors to test their on-screen chemistry, until finally the actors George Restrew and Kassius Nelson were chosen for the roles Edwin and Crystal respectively.

The actor has mentioned the importance of the show in how to better deal with pain and loss, highling that "the main message of the whole series is to be yourself, unapologetically. Luckily, Charles Rowland does this very well so I’m hoping people get to love and learn from him as much as I did."

In relation to his role models and expectations for his career, Revri has stated, "When I was younger, I said I wanted to be Zac Efron and I was that with The Lodge. And I wanted to be a superhero which is similar to Dead Boy Detectives, so I feel like I’ve done as much as I could," although he mentioned he would be interested in acting as a "supervillain" or in an adaptation of a video game.
