Conrad Ricamora Cherishes Friendship with Jack Falahee from 'How to Get Away with Murder'

Published: May 27, 2025

Conrad Ricamora has spoken about the one friendship from his time on 'How to Get Away with Murder' that he will cherish forever.

The actor, 46, told PEOPLE at the 2025 Tony Awards 'Meet the Nominees' event that his friendship with Jack Falahee is something he'll take away for the rest of his life.

Ricamora had his breakthrough role in the Shonda Rhimes legal drama, which aired for six seasons from 2014 to 2020. He played computer hacker Oliver Hampton, who quickly entered a relationship with law student Connor Walsh, played by Jack Falahee.

The couple struggled with many challenges throughout their relationship as Connor, part of the Keating Five, became embroiled in a series of crimes. However, the two tied the knot in the final season.

Falahee and Ricamora's onscreen chemistry made its way off screen, as they developed a close friendship. "My friendship with Jack [Falahee] is something that I'll take away for the rest of my life," Ricamora says while looking back on the hit show.

The actor also shares a favorite memory from working on the series, which involved a cast trip. "It's been a while," he says. "But when we were in the third season, we took this group trip to Santa Barbara and all stayed at the same resort."

While there, Ricamora remembers going bowling and hanging out by the pool with his costars, including Falahee, Matt McGorry, Karla Souza, and Aja Naomi King.

"It was just so, so much fun," he says. "That show changed all of our lives so intensely. We couldn't leave the house the same way that we could before that show, but I love them so much."

Ricamora and Falahee recently looked back on their characters' intense relationship in a March interview with Entertainment Weekly, in which Falahee said they had instant chemistry.

"I feel like it benefited both of us that Conrad and I both came from the world of theater and were able to approach it in that way, just trusting each other," the Mercy Street actor shared. "We had mutual friends. So, there was some connective tissue there."

Ricamora, however, noted the complex feelings he had about the show airing. "Shooting something is one thing and then having it released is another thing," he said, explaining that releasing the show "out into the world" opens it up to outside opinions.

Despite their tight friendship, Falahee revealed in an interview with Us Weekly that the two took a "break" after the series concluded.

"He's a rock star and one of the loves of my life," the actor said of Ricamora. "It was bizarre. We needed a break after the show wrapped — and it was a very intense union with the two of us on screen."

Ricamora is currently nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his role in Oh, Mary — written by and also starring Cole Escola. The comedy is directed by Sam Pinkleton and follows first lady Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination. It is currently playing a record-breaking run at the Lyceum Theatre.

Speaking with PEOPLE about the play, the actor said, "It's the most infuriating thing to work opposite of Cole as Mary. Working with Cole as an actor and writer is a dream come true. But having to show up to the theater every day and try to control this wild, feral animal that is Cole Escola's Mary Todd Lincoln has been the greatest challenge of my life."
