“Wizards of Waverly Place” star David Henrie was recently given another shot at writing an episode for the series, after writing his first in 2010. Now, with his episode “Meet The Werewolves” set to air on June 17 on the Disney Channel, the multi-talented actor tells OnTheRedCarpet.com correspondent Chris Balish about his writing process, career aspirations and his philanthropy.

“It’s my second episode for the show. It’s a blessing, creatively to get to do this. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. Here’s my second at bat at it,” Henrie told Balish on the set of the popular series, which co-stars Selena Gomez.

On the show, Henrie and Gomez play siblings in the Italian-Mexian Russo family who are wizards in training living in Manhattan. The fourth season of the series, which will be Gomez’s last, airs its finale on June 24.

The actor says he learned a lot from his first time writing, which made his second effort go a little smoother. “When you write something it’s from your mind so you get so attached to it and for reasons being time cuts or when things aren’t working, you gotta be willing to cut things,” he said. “So it was much easier this time and it’s all for the better good of the script.”

“I would love to write more and continue to write for the show. To get to do it on a professional level and have it on ‘Wizards’ — it was absolutely amazing,” he added.

So what does he love so much about the writing process? Henrie says, “I just love being in the room, the rewriting process, getting to pitch jokes, break the stories with them, all of that.” The actor adds, “It’s really a family here and it’s really a team effort. So to get to be a part of that process behind the curtain it was great.”

The 21-year-old, who has made appearances on “How I Met Your Mother” and “That’s So Raven,” says he doesn’t want to stop at writing, “I would love to direct, that would be so much fun. We’ve all been doing it so long that we definitely know the process.”

“I think if you can control your future and sort of lay the bricks of your own foundation then that’s the best way to go,” he added. “I want to control my own future. The people I admire are the Apatows out there, the Sandlers, you know Vince Vaughn’s whole company. They sort of do their own thing.”

Life gets trickier for the Russos as the new season of Wizards of Waverly Place picks up right where things left off in October’s Season 3 finale, after the magical bunch escaped from a government agency holding them captive. Selena Gomez, who plays middle child Alex, fills us in on what to expect with the show, including the chances of a fifth season.

TV Guide Magazine: The third-season finale really shook things up. What’s next?
Gomez: Alex ends up exposing to the world that she’s a wizard, which leads to her losing her powers.

TV Guide Magazine: That’s a shocker!
Gomez: I was really nervous, but I didn’t want the show to become repetitive. Our writers completely pulled it off and came up with this story line that lets the characters branch out.

TV Guide Magazine: One thing doesn’t change: Alex and werewolf Mason (Gregg Sulkin) are still an item, right?
Gomez: The audience loves their relationship — and I do, too! They are the typical teenage couple, but with complications that other kids don’t have to deal with, which makes it funny.

TV Guide Magazine: Any chance your BFF Taylor Swift will guest star?
Gomez: No, just because I never want our friendship to be exploited. She’s like my family, and I wouldn’t want anything to mess that up.

TV Guide Magazine: Word is that Season 4 is going to be the last…
Gomez: I’m not really sure. [Wizards] has been such an important part of my life — I’m going to be the worst at saying goodbye.

Wizards of Waverly Place airs Friday at 9:45/8:45c on Disney Channel. Gomez conjures up scoop on Season 4 in exclusive videos at disneychannel.com

Selena Gomez returns to the small screen tonight and everything is not as it seems when the new season of “Wizards of Waverly Place” premieres. Now, ET talks to the 18-year-old star about being a part of the wizarding world, dating and avoiding the pitfalls that other young stars experience.

ET: What can we look forward to this season on “Wizards of Waverly Place”?

Selena Gomez: It has definitely impressed me, to be honest, because our show has been on so long and we have done so many episodes. I know that magic is endless. I was a little weary coming into this season, wanting to make sure we came back with a bang. They have surprised me. We are coming back with really fun storylines.

ET: On the first episode, do you reveal to the world that you are a witch?

Selena Gomez: I do. I expose that we are wizards. It is actually a test that ends up kicking me and my brother out of the wizard competition. So throughout the whole season, you find my character and David Henrie’s character trying to get back into the competition because that was actually a test.
