i decided to add in inception, so they'll have a history of knowing each other, at least briefly! nolen likely has known who she was since gossip girl, as he's a sucker for "low brow" tv and movies. he's a pretty easy-going, overly friendly and charming human, so they have that in common, but he's a little harder to deal with. he's a professional at work, but he does often joke around too often and people who expect him to be a v. serious actor~ can find it a little jarring or annoying. he's also a little self-important and insensitivem so if there were ever a case where she wasn't getting something and he was around to witness it, it's likely that he wouldn't have been entirely sympathetic to the situation. but he's very welcoming and would've likely gushed about how much he loved gossip girl, so there's avenues for them to have built a friendship!
