J-14 recently chatted with Adam Hicks, who plays skateboarding star Luther in the new Disney XD show Zeke and Luther premiering June 15 at 8:30PM ET/PT! Read on to see what he had to say about the show, his crazy character Luther, and how many fans have invited him to their proms!

J-14: Did you do a lot of skateboarding before the show?
Adam: Actually, I had gone through a phase when I was younger when I wanted to become a professional skateboarder. I was in that phase for about six years, but by the time the audition came I was kind of over it. I was like, that's never going to happen. But then I went to the auditions and it snapped me right back into the old days!

J-14: So Hutch told us that your character Luther is the funny guy. Are you like that in real life?
Adam: I think everybody has a little bit of Luther in them. He is a 15-year-old, zany, outrageous kid and he lives in those odd moments, the kind of moments you don't need to be in. That's how I made up Luther, from looking at other people and my personal experiences.

J-14: Are you excited to be on the new Disney XD? Your show hasn't even premiered and you already have a ton of fans blogging about it!
Adam: Yeah, they have the old Even Stevens on Disney XD, and all types of cool things. I'm just waiting for my show to drop! Everyone's excited -- people are asking are me to prom!

J-14: Whoa! How many prom invites?
Adam: I've gotten like, three or four -- from strangers!

J-14: Did you say yes to any of them?
Adam: Usually I'm extra extra busy so...

J-14: What does that mean when you say that, are you really busy or are you just blowing them off?
Adam: Well, it can be different at times, but these last six months I have been sooo busy, it's like, every single day something, you know? But I keep working and I love it.

J-14: What do you usually look for in a girl?
Adam: They have to be nice and just know how to chill, relax, and not take things so seriously.

J-14 recently caught up with Hutch Dano, star of the new Disney XD show, Zeke and Luther premiering June 15 at 8:30PM ET/PT! Check out what he had to say about the show, what it's like to work with costar Adam Hicks, and whether he's single or taken!

J-14: Can you tell us a little bit about the show?
Hutch: Zeke and Luther are skateboarders trying to get to "Tony Hawk status" but every time they try to do it, something crazy happens. Like one time when they are trying to practice tricks, a robot comes and destroys their skateboards!

J-14: What is it like working with Adam who plays Luther?
Hutch: Amazing! The kid is a comic genius! He's just so hilarious and it's great because I'm supposed to be playing the more serious guy, and his jokes bounce off so well. It's so much fun!

J-14: How do you feel to be a part of the new Disney XD?
Hutch: I'm very excited! What's so cool is that Disney XD is aimed more towards boys. I watch Disney XD a lot and it's really cool and upbeat. It's awesome!

J-14: Do you think the show will have a lot of female fans?
Hutch: Everyone keeps telling me that a lot of girls will be watching it. We've seen a lot of the episodes and girls will really enjoy it because our characters in the show give little secrets about what guys actually think about, so that's kind of cool. You get a little inside scoop!

J-14: Are you single?
Hutch: I am!

J-14: How would a girl win your heart?
Hutch: I love a girl that goes to the beach all the time because I love the beach -- especially surfing. I also love a girl that won't argue with me when it comes to me paying for them at the movies and going out to dinner. Some girls really try to argue! They're like, "no, no, no, I have to pay for this!" I'm like, no! If you're out with me, you don't!

From L to R: Hutch Dano as Zeke, Adam Hicks as Luther, and Dan Curtis Lee as Kojo

Your fave Disney stars like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato are coming together to help save the environment.

Disney's Friends for Change: Project Green will help bring awareness to four major areas in our environment: climate, water, waste, and habitats. Demi tells J-14, "The issue that's the most important to me is definitely global warming. I think we all need to make a difference."

You will have the opportunity to vote on how Disney will spend $1 million in donations to save the planet. Starting tomorrow the stars from the House of the Mouse, will be doing special environmental commercials on Disney Channel, Disney XD, Radio Disney, and Disney.com.

And what's Dylan Sprouse's going-green advice to you? Don't just sit around! "Don't be lazy because that is the main contributor to not being green. I literally know people who will turn on the sink when they should be brushing their teeth just to fake it. That's so lame. Don't be lazy," the Suite Life star tells J-14.

What do you do to help save the planet? And which of the Disney Channel stars in the group pic is your fave?
