How does it feel to play an unpopular
girl on a show called Popular? In Carly Pope's case, natural. "I originally
read for the part of  [superpopular]
Brooke, but I realized I didn't believe myself in that role," she says.
"The execs must have noticed too, because they asked if I read for the
part of [not so popular] Sam instead." And of course, she got the part,
probably because Carly, who's 19, has the same attitude towards popularity
as Sam does: She doesn't get it. "The whole issue is extremely baffling.
There are always those people who are popular for the wrong reasons- for
materialistic reasons, or because they have the right boyfriend." As for
her own love life, Carly has opted to stay single for now. "I was dating
someone, but we decided to end it when I moved to L.A," says the Vancouver
native. "Now, we're best friends and it’s incredible." She admits to having
a thing for Conan O'Brien, although she finds it hard to catch her crush.
"He's on way too late," she moans. "I rarely get to watch him." We bet
he'll be watching you this season, Carly!
