It's probably safe to say James Lafferty's experience on The Royals was legendary.
In this exclusive clip, the One Tree Hill star, who directed the Sunday's all-new episode, spills why he was eager (and slightly nervous) to work with renowned actress Joan Collins on the show.
"I did a little bit of research, as well, just because I was so excited to work with her," the 30-year-old actor tells E! News. "I watched some Dynasty. I watched some clips from her other films and I think doing that psyched me out a little bit, just a tad. I was intimidated because she is a very larger-than-life personality."
Check out clip for more of James' kind words about the amazing Joan Collins.
