"FacebookPinterest\n\nOn Weeds, Hunter Parrish plays Mary-Louise Parkers oldest son Silas, an attention-deprived kid who follows his mom into the cultivation business, beds desperate housewives and has the kind of unblemished good looks that exist only in the safety of television. In real life, the 21-year-old actor has never smoked pot, dates girls his own age, and has the vocal chops to moonlight in Broadway musicals. As the fifth season of Weeds takes off, we attempt to draw Parrish out of his notoriously nice shell.\u2014sarah goldstein\n\nYou play the son of Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin in a movie filming now. Whos the better parent?\n\n Meryls the easiest person to be with on set or in a scene, very giving and maternal.\n\nWait: Alec Baldwins not maternal?\n\n Well, actually, one day we were waiting for a scene and a couple of us were talking about how hungry we were and how if we could eat anything it would be mac n cheese and pizza. An hour later Alec comes over and hes like Theres mac n cheese and pizza that my assistant just got for you guys.\n\nWorlds best dad. Tell me about the new season of Weeds. Whats Alanis Morissette doing on the show?\n\n She comes in about halfway through the season. Theres this whole issue of whether Nancy [Mary-Louise Parker], who is pregnant, is going to keep the baby. Alanis plays a doctor who runs an abortion clinic.\n\nDid you grow up listening to her music?\n\n Oh, Im a huge fan.\n\nOK\u2026I have to mention: Youre often shirtless on Weeds. Is that in your contract?\n\n Its not contractual, its just where my storyline is. I had to show my butt last season for the first time. And I had a hard time deciding whether to do it\u2014we didnt decide until the morning of the shoot.\n\nWhat was the deciding factor?\n\n I called my parents and I was like, Are you guys going to disown me if I do this? I dont make all my decisions by them but it was nice to hear that they were supportive and clued-in.\n\nThat was with Julie Bowen, who is, what, 15 years older than you? You slept with an older woman on Law &amp;amp; Order, too, and youre in that Funny or Die video about cougars.\n\n I dont know. Maybe Im a better actor when I know theres going to be an older woman involved.\n\nI heard that you were offered the Zac Efron part in High School Musical. True?\n\n That is definitely a rumor but it was really, really close. It was down to five guys and then I got offered a part in this amazing Robin Williams movie. And I thought to myself: fly to Vancouver and meet the director for this Robin Williams movie, or stay and finish the auditions for the Disney Chanel movie? So I didnt even go to the last audition. I heard a rumor that I was their favorite, but I never made it to the end. I mean I would have had a blast doing it. But Im so happy for Zac, hes the only guy for that.\n\nDidnt you kick the crap out of him onscreen in 17 Again?\n\n Yes. That was kind of awesome."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
