His role as Bryce Walker on Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why has proved to be a terrifying cautionary tale.

Prentice told The Hollywood Reporter why he thinks there’s “still hope” for people like Bryce.

“I think there’s hope for the Bryces of the world. I think there’s a way to turn things around. I think of these kids who commit monstrous acts aren’t monsters. There is hope.
