In an interview with MTV News, Sorrentino reveals his five-year-plan, saying, "I'm thinking the next five years, you know I've dreamt since I was a little boy to be in front of the TV screen, and four years later, you know, 'Look at me! I'm on MTV, mom.' But I'd like to continue that, whether it's TV or movies. Hopefully, that's the next step. And whatever the future brings, I'm looking forward to it 'cause I got my boys and girls with me." Ortiz-Magro echos his cast mate, adding, "I definitely still want to do TV. I'm doing stuff. .. I have Ron Ron juice hitting the stores at the end of January. I want to stay with kind of the liquor and that whole party scene kind of thing, but I definitely want to do the acting if that doesn't work out."
