So how did you 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.400 find the entertainment industry? How did you get into the business? 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:13.960 I begged my mother and. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:19.479 Me too, I how did that work? 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.160 Yeah? I begged her for a long time, And there 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.680 was one day I went and got in the bath 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.000 it was bath time, and came out and I covered 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.480 myself in baby powder. And that's all that I remembered 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.320 of the story. And then later on my mom told 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.040 me that she's like, no, you did your old lady 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.720 character who I later named Winnie Joe when I was 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.040 a part of an improv sketch group. But I did 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.160 my old lady character and put on this show in 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.479 my jasmine sleep set also, yes, of course in the 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.320 living room, and then I did some kind of entertainment 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.360 for them and my mom was like, fine, okay, we'll 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.599 figure it out. So, yeah, we had a family member 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.680 that was in the industry, like no longer part of 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.840 that f family any longer, but still family member in 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.839 the industry that helped my mom like walk us through 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.320 the process. And then I booked my first Disney commercial 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:08.880 at six. 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.200 Okay, Wow, did you grow up in California? 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:14.920 Were you near the industry? Yes? 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:15.800 Born and raised? 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:17.000 Okay, Okay. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.920 I always wonder about that because I grew up in Connecticut, 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.000 and the begging in Connecticut was different because it was 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.160 like my parents going, I. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.920 Don't where do you want to go? You have to 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.320 go to New York City. You have to that. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.920 Whereas yeah, I guess if you grew up around the industry, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.720 it's a little easier, but you still got to get in. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.320 Yes, so did you travel out here then? 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.520 In that case I did? Well? I well, no, I would. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.880 I started to go down to New York City and 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.279 was auditioning and worked in New York from the time 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.040 I was eleven to the time I was sixteen, and 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.360 then I would come out here occasionally for screen test, 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:45.920 but then I got a show called Boy Meets World 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.360 in ninety three and moved out here for that when 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.320 I was sixteen, so it's been there ever since. So 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.440 I'm thirty over thirty years here now. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.320 But okay, yeah, it was it's. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:00.000 Been a long time. Were you a Disney fan? Oh, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.359 where you started auditioning for it? 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:02.400 Of course? 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:02.680 Right? 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:03.200 Yes. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:04.880 You could not tell me that I was not going 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.960 to be doing like the Disney logo like I would 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:13.360 practice with the wires, Oh my god, yes, Oh my gosh. Yeah. 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.240 So even when I booked Red in a week, I 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.240 just knew my life was going to change. Much like 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.160 a lot of projects that we booked. It's like, oh 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.240 my gosh, finally I'm gonna be able to do the 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:25.080 Disney you know. It's like it didn't happen that way, 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.000 but like I am glad that it didn't because it 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:29.960 allowed me to really ground myself and get to know 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:34.200 myself as opposed to having this type of stardom and 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.880 then having to figure myself out through that time. But 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.599 there were some moments that I had where some kids 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.360 did recognize me, which was pretty cool, but also like 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.840 a little a little nerve wrecking, because all of a 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.160 sudden you're thinking that you're just like like I was 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.240 a part of the puppet ministry and up going to 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.920 like some elementary schools in the group, and the first time, 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.039 I believe, I can't remember it was at my old 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.640 elementary school. We end up going to and we do 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.000 our whole performance, and then we stand up and introduce 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.320 ourselves and I just hear kids gasp like and I'm thinking, 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.160 oh my gosh, they're just excited that we're standing up 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.440 and showing ourselves. And then it's like, no, had old 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.120 teachers come up to me, like Marquise, the kids recognize 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:18.760 you from the movie. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.080 And I'm like, oh, oh that's awesome. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:24.840 Yeah, so it's really horrible. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:26.040 Yeah yeah. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.440 Wow. Well have you felt the resurgence of of the 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.040 d coms with them being released on Disney Channel Plus? 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.480 Have you have you felt that resurgence and all that yet? 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:37.560 Not yet? 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.120 I Mean I kind of felt something when I did 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:44.920 a podcast war nets to Classified and just to see 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.120 the comments come up of like, oh my gosh, you're 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.960 my favorite character and things like that. So I imagine in 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.120 this podcast being released, maybe it'll be like, oh my gosh, 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.080 I so like that's really cool. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:00.000 It's definitely one that comes up, you know, because you 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.920 run into people or on Instagram things like that, they 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.320 kind of put in requests of like that you done 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.280 this one and read it and wheat for sure is 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.200 something that has been. 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:13.720 Brought up, like yeah, absolutely, I mean I love that. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.880 I think they love people probably recognize the book as well, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.680 which I think is a big, a big thing and 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.040 not always common with d coms. But you know, Will 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.640 and I we went through everything. I loved it because 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:26.760 I felt like it was such a. 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.200 Good girl movie. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.920 It really like hits like home with things that you 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.080 go through as a as a teenage girl.

Understandably, I was sixteen 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.679 at the time, so you know, going back to actually 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.920 hearing you all talk about it tickled me, and then 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.280 and then going back to watch it, I'm like, oh, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.000 I didn't even notice.

And 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.600 there's there are different scenes where we're just kind of 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.160 walking throughout the set and I that that is the time. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:09.720 That's a project. I learned how to like put my 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.960 hands in my pocket and walk, you know, so complicated. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:17.080 There you go. And so once I did, I'm like, 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.839 I just see all these scenes where I'm like walking 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.520 and talking with my hands in my pocket. You could 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.120 not tell me that I wasn't doing it. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.679 That's funny. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.560 So one of the things you did, you just I 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.000 have to jump into this because you have a very 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.920 unique perspective on this because you mentioned Ned's de classified. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.000 So you both you worked for both Nickelodeon and Disney. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:38.640 Yes, I did. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.400 I did the same thing. I was both a Nickelodeon 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:41.959 and Disney fan. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.440 What differences did you find working for Nickelodeon and working 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:46.199 for Disney. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.439 I wish I could tell you a definitive thing. It 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.360 was mainly I just remember the people that I worked with, 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.880 So I don't remember like the network experiences other than 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.280 understanding like, hey, you can't really go back like you've 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:04.280 already you're you're moving forward. I'm like, oh, we but wait, 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:05.480 I was a part of that show. I want to 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.839 go hang out with my friends again. So that's really 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.319 what I remember. And again, but like once I got 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.240 to Disney, I just knew that I was going to 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.160 be drawing the logo, so I was fine. I was 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:18.439 pretty stoked about it. 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.440 Did you But did you ever get a chance to 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:20.720 do that? 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:26.959 No, dog, don't feel bad. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.559 I don't think it was until after the second movie 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:31.360 we got to do it. 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.360 Okay, Oh did you draw the logo? 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.600 How was that? Yeah? 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:41.160 Talk about like feeling like you're absolutely screwing something up, 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.280 Like as much as I have, I had practiced it 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.959 because again, I grew up on Disney too, so that was. 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.640 Like a dream come to type thing. Yeah, and you're 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:50.360 then you're kind of. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:53.280 Going, oh, you can't see what I'm at, Like I 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.080 couldn't see what it was, so I wasn't sure if 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.840 I was doing a flower, was drawing like Bully got 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:01.480 too nervous. 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.080 Do they give you like lessons or they just kind 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:05.960 of yeah. 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.560 I mean they show you what it looks like and 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.880 where it will be in the corner, but you can't 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.640 see what you're actually drawing. So it was a little 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.400 nerve wracking because again, you just know like kids like 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.600 would would die to do that, like that was like 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.040 a big thing to do. And then you're going, I 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.680 definitely screwed that up. So they probably won't use mine. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:25.079 We're good. 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.160 Did they use they did? 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.280 They did this, but it did take a while for 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:32.440 us to get that honor. 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:33.640 It took a while. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.440 You know, I've never done it. Oh, I've been on 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.880 Disney since I was sixteen. I've never drawn the logo ever. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.560 No, did they maybe they that maybe that was something 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.400 after No. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.800 No, I don't know, but I've I've been done stuff. 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.960 After I've done you know, Impossible and all that did, 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.280 I was like Testy Channel forever. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.320 I never got to do any of that stuff. So 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.000 you're not alone.

Okay, yes, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.439 so I think Color of Friendship was based on a book, 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.680 and I think there was one other based on a book. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.199 But did you read the material before you went in? 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.800 So did you know the whole book or not? 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:09.280 I did not. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.160 I did not. No, it was a surprise to me. 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.080 Yes, Oh, it was a surprise even as you were 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:16.800 shooting the film. Was it a surprise that it was 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:17.160 a book? 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:24.080 Yes, wow, because it was a pretty big deal. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.360 When because I'm I've worked with the author, she actually 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.320 makes a cameo. Did you guys get to meet her 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:31.000 at all while. 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:31.880 She was on set. 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:32.800 Towards the end. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.840 Okay, yeah, she was in the restaurant that you guys 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.120 worked in. I remember, like, yeah, like a patron in 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:40.840 the restaurant. 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:41.440 I didn't notice her. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.160 Unfortunately, I was. There were some aspects of acting I 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.000 was pretty oblivious to at that time because I got 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.880 in just wanting to do the thing, you know, and 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.560 so like it wasn't until later in life where I 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.040 had to really develop like the business acumen of it 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.120 and just kind of being more mindful of all of 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.600 the other working elements. But at that time, it's like 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.320 I booked this role. I'm playing Lindsay, I'm saving the whales, 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:05.600 you know. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.760 And to be fair, it was a pretty big cast 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.560 of young afters, so I imagine you guys were really just 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.000 having a good time getting to know each other, hanging 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.040 out on set while they're changing angles, changing lights, things 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.920 like that. I imagine that it was just a really fun 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.960 environment for you guys. It was Do you remember what 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.320 time of year it was that you were filming. Was 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.960 it was it summertime? Where were you guys in school? 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.200 Were you having to do school during the filming? 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.480 Yes, definitely in school. I'm trying to remember when. I 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.120 just remember having to leave school for six weeks, and 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.080 so actually at school, people thought it was super cool 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.880 because I'm like, they're leaving to school for six weeks. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:49.160 Sure I am, I'm going to Utuah. 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:54.280 Yeah, I'm really really flame it up in Utah exactly. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.720 You couldn't tell me, and I don't know if that 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.640 was it the first time. I think it was like 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.600 the first time I actually like you into like a 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:04.560 downfall of snow, and I was so excited. So there's 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.280 this picture actually in Jamie's room that is of me 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.000 and my mom actually took that just playing around with 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.960 her camera and then we like kind of pass it 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:17.120 out at the end towards towards the end of filming, 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.960 and they end up using it. So when I see it, 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.560 I'm like, oh, my mom took that picture. That's really lot. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.880 That's really cool. Were you were you close as a cast. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:31.240 Relatively close? I mean we spent enough time together, so yeah, 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:36.320 I have good memories, and I remember there are certain 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:41.320 moments that I remember, like being in the pizza shop 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.800 and us just trying to like huddle together for that 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:49.600 phone scene, or you know, just certain little sparks of 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.120 memories that come up, or even the seaweed falling down 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.720 and having to touch the first time that I was like, oh, 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:00.880 I actually don't like the texture of this. They're like 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.880 stopping around with my little motorcycle boots for the bunnies, 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.840 and Paul Hohen, the director, end up telling me whatever 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.000 I said, like he told me that on the spot. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.399 So just trying to remember, like, oh, I got to 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.400 remember these lines as I'm you know, be real and 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:16.320 all those things. 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.000 You know, that's so funny. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.000 Oh man, that's amazing. That sounds like so much fun. 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:31.840 Yeah you mentioned Utah. 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.760 Yes, so Utah has become a Disney Channel character of 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.080 its own, Like essentially everything is shot in either Utah 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.920 or Toronto. Yes, although we just did one that was 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.199 shot in Puerto Rico, so hey, we're branching out. But 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:53.760 you got to shoot in the infamous Murray High. 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:52.800 What was that like? 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.080 Did you know when you got there that other things 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.879 had been shot there? Did you recognize it right when 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:57.320 you got there? 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:57.520 Or no? 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.600 I didn't. I wish that I ish that I did. No, 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.800 I was just it was just like this spectacle of just. 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:08.919 Being on set, you know, taking over a high school, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:10.880 like yes, in general. 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.120 Yeah exactly, and then also meeting the Pana Baker sisters, 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.159 like just understanding that too, and like being trying, like 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.960 trying to just create this community within our set or 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:25.159 our cast. That's those are the things I remember. But 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.639 it definitely felt cool to be leaving school, to be playing, 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:30.800 to be in school. 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.399 You know, yeah, right exactly. I'm going to now go 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.600 pretend that I'm in school, right right, Yeah, did you 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.280 know who the pan of Bakers were before you had 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:40.200 started the film? 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.760 Not really, but the but Danielle look familiar, Okay, yeah. 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:48.320 Okay, yeah, I think by that that would make sense that. 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:49.920 Yeah, I'm trying to think you've. 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.520 Done more on the channel, yes, one of the newer things, 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.359 and tell us of like we've actually. 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.680 Knighted him, Sir Jason Dally, tell us about him all filming. 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.280 Please tell only good things, because we will not be. 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.800 There's it's incredible. Tell us about filming with him, because 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.439 that seems like a dream. 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:21.160 I don't have any negative memories. Yeah, everyone was really 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.480 great in the cast, and I think it's at that 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.679 at that time, we're teens and the only thing that 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.080 really comes to mind is that's just needing to stay focused. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:34.800 Were kids shooting and so just kind of being like, hey, focus, Hey, 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:38.800 it's that kind of reminder. Other than that, like it 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.280 was it was great. 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.240 We're I'll say I got to I got a chance 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.840 to work with Paul. He's really got such a great 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:50.840 energy and vibe. He's good with kids, good with keeping 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.920 it young, not feeling like, oh gosh, you know, yes, okay, 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.160 I'm getting in trouble.

You know, it's already tactic already 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:33.600 and kids are we. 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.440 Don't know that right, Well, that brings up a really 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.160 good thing. We've never even asked this now, looking back 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.640 as an adult, what was the vibe with. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:44.040 The parents being on. 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.560 Set right, because did they have how did they sort of, 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.280 I don't want to say corral them, but you know, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.879 keep them where they're not but where they're not, you know, 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.440 wrangle them to where they're not given their. 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.720 Own director like types because you. 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:03.200 Know, you're in a world of a lot of mamagers 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.359 dads that are managers and stuff. 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.720 So how what do you remember of that? 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.479 That's a really good point of that is your parents 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:11.680 being close enough. 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.000 To watch, close enough to be. 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.080 Observing you give you the freedom to be an actor. 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:22.960 Correct, Yeah, yeah, I just remember like parents being kind 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.080 of close to video village really, and I imagine some 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.800 of those conversations happened and in between like the cuts 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:34.679 and the actions and things. My mom would try to 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.359 give me some pointers at times, but like at that age, 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:40.560 I was sixteen, and you couldn't tell me anything. I 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:45.080 was filming a Disney project, like as respectful, as as 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.800 respectful as possible, because my mom would also give me 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.240 a look like don't try it, and what. 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:55.960 You're not a movie star house, don't never forget that. 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.600 I'm so appreciative because had I not had that, I 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.439 would have gone wild, because, like I said, I was 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:08.639 doing a Disney project. What oh my gosh. On the 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:13.199 back end, my mind was just like, so I'm really glad, 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.160 like as hard as it was on the on finishing 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.119 the project and seeing it come out, and in my 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.879 mind after that, it was kind of like it kind 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.159 of got blown over, like it came in and I 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.160 would tell people it came in between High School Musical 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.520 one and High School Musical two just kind of got 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:33.639 blown right over. And so having that awareness was like 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.760 a little like a little release of air in the bubble, 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:41.520 which you know is good later later in life, but 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:44.600 at the time was a little deflating because I'm like, well, 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:49.560 I wanted that same excitement. However, thinking about how I 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.520 was on set and I wasn't a terror, I'm like, 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.760 I'm not trying to like paint that picture of myself. 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.919 But you know, like how your mind can get the 0:22:57.920 --> 0:22:59.760 better of you at times when you think that something 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.560 really great it is about to happen, especially when it 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:05.480 comes to doing something that you've been wanting to do 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:07.480 for so long, and how like, oh, this is gonna 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.280 change my life and you're like, you start to get 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.920 this bit of like internal bravado and you're like, oh, 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.639 actually no, you're going back to school.

Having to kind 0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.800 of figure out, like, well, what is life really and 0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:55.919 having to like associate myself within reality and then still 0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.680 go ahead and pursue what it is that I'm wanting to, 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.480 Like for a moment, like I said, and when I 0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:04.399 was doing like the Puppet Ministry and going to different 0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:08.119 elementary schools, like in that capacity, you felt like, oh, whoa, 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.119 this is awesome.

But outside 0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:24.480 of that, then because yeah, I went to college at seventeen, 0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.440 so I filmed that at sixteen, went to college at seventeen, 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.040 and I went to a private school, so I didn't 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.760 have the flexibility like I was used to in high 0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:35.760 school and elementary school because of my school system. So 0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:37.920 I kind of had to take a step back from 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.520 acting because I wasn't as available. It was more available 0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:43.760 for like commercials.

Alcohol takes over our drugs takeovers because well, 0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.280 this is what I am, and now I can't do 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:43.840 it anymore. 0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:46.280 They don't want me to do it, so there is 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:47.120 no me anymore. 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.600 And it's not no, it's this is what you do, 0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.280 and now you got to go find something else to do. 0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:55.719 We all at times have to go and find something 0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.080 else to do. Who you are is who you are. 0:27:58.560 --> 0:27:59.880 What you do is what you do. 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:00.399 Yes. 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:03.680 And I think a child actor more than almost most, 0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:08.240 that line is so muddled, yes, that you you lose 0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:12.480 yourself because you are You're right, that's your identity as 0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:13.359 I'm an actor. 0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:15.600 I'm on too.

But it's it's 0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:10.800 it's the people that get out of it and going, hey, 0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:12.560 I'm that's just what I did, and I loved it 0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.720 or love it still, but that's just what I did, 0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:16.920 not who I am, and that could be a difficult 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:19.080 thing to do. Did you find that when you got 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.880 to college. Did people recognize you as an actor in 0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:25.840 college or were you able to kind of completely reidentify 0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:26.880 yourself while you were there. 0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:34.560 I think I only had maybe one or two people 0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:38.880 recognize me from college and it was like you look familiar. 0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:41.720 Right, yeah, or I. 0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:45.960 Know you're from that one either. 0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.240 Yeah, because I'm not going to give you like my 0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:49.280 resume because. 0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:51.400 Now exactly like I'm not going to. 0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:54.080 Be like nope, nope, okay, I don't want to play 0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:54.680 this game anymore. 0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:54.960 Yeah. 0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:56.440 Do you know the best way to do it? 0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:58.320 I found the best way to do it is when 0:29:58.320 --> 0:29:59.760 somebody goes, god, where do I know you from? 0:29:59.760 --> 0:29:59.840 You? 0:29:59.880 --> 0:30:02.760 Just where did you go to high school? And then 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:04.440 they'll say their high school name, and you're going, no, 0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:05.160 it can't be there. 0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.120 Well I don't know, and you just want and then 0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:09.800 then that leaves them going like was it school? Did 0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:10.360 I know them? 0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:16.960 Yes? It's perfect ask a confusing question back. It works every. 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:26.720 Time I have to ask this next question. 0:30:26.760 --> 0:30:29.080 Well, first of all, also, I think it's really amazing 0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:32.640 that you continued your education and then you stay grounded. 0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:36.200 So many, especially child actors in LA, tend to do 0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:39.480 homeschooling so quickly, and when I think talk about not 0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.120 having a really easy way to keep yourself grounded is 0:30:42.400 --> 0:30:45.400 to take yourself out of like the normal social environment 0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:48.800 that you're in. But moving forward, I have to because 0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:51.840 I cannot let this interview and without bringing up my 0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.320 favorite show in the world that you got to be. 0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:59.480 On, which was Great's Anatomy. Oh my god, oh my? 0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:02.640 How was that? How was the cast? 0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:04.440 How was it? 0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:06.760 How was the craft table? 0:31:07.480 --> 0:31:10.280 Was was the catering good? 0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.760 How was it? How was it? Why was it so magical? 0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:17.480 Okay, well I got to work with the dog, so 0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:22.160 that already alone, like so exciting. Yeah me, I just 0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:26.840 melt for puppies. So there's the craft table. I don't remember, 0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:29.600 but what comes to mind is just some a different project. 0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:32.800 I know. Me, I'm just like, eh, something, haven't But 0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:35.560 I didn't mean much of the cast I met, more 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:39.280 of like the interns that were coming on during that season, okay, 0:31:39.520 --> 0:31:41.640 which were pretty cool. I also was kind of like 0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:44.600 bummed that I wasn't like more of an intern, but 0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:46.960 yet still exciting that I got to be a part 0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:49.880 of Grey's Anatomy because it had been going on for 0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:52.760 so long and I'm like, what Grays and Natty, this 0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:57.400 is so freaking exciting. So just being a part was exciting, 0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:01.640 of course. And what I do remember too is shooting 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:05.120 the scene and then at the end the director saying 0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.040 something like, well, now you know what it feels like 0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:08.120 to be upstaged by a dog. 0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:15.520 I was like, I was, wow, oh, thank you for 0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.640 that and my confidence as an accurate souring. 0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:19.960 Thank you as I'm walking off of set because you 0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:22.480 just feel cut and we're done.

Other than that, 0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:31.200 everything else is quite positive. 0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:34.480 I am the last person in the world who's never 0:32:34.560 --> 0:32:35.680 seen a Grai's anatomy in. 0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:36.240 My entire life. 0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:37.720 Okay, added to. 0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:40.360 The list, added to the list of things he has 0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:44.880 not thank joyed that our life's wonders. 0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.120 Asked Sabrina.

And 0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.479 it was just like going to college was something I 0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:37.160 just knew I had to do, and it wasn't something 0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:39.600 that I'm like, oh so passionate about doing, and yet 0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:42.480 I found a passionate within college. I studied fashion design, 0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:46.880 so it kind of, you know, contributed to my interest already. 0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:48.680 So I just felt like, if I'm going to go 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:50.160 do it, I'm going to go do something that I 0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:52.360 want to do because I'm already taking time away from 0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:53.800 doing the other thing that I want to do, so 0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:58.160 I'm going to do it. So then coming back to it, 0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:00.880 I did go to London for the three months after 0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:04.320 college to do a fashion design internship. Yeah this is great. 0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:05.479 I was just there, just there. 0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:09.719 Oh yes, yeah, it was really great, and I didn't 0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:12.800 appreciate until I came back to just actually really understand 0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:17.000 the cultural differences and just the whole lifestyle difference too. 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:19.480 So in coming back, that's when I was trying to 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:21.640 find my footing again, like Okay, well now what do 0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:24.279 I do. I got into an acting class, and that 0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:26.759 teacher ended up telling me and like kind of really 0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.000 calling out, like you need to understand the business aspect 0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:31.680 of this, and like that's great that you've been doing 0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.880 this since you your kid, but now you need to 0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:35.759 understand that your agent's work for you, like you don't 0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:37.440 work for your agents, so you need to be asking 0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:39.759 them more questions. You need to have your web like 0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:42.840 your your information up to date. So that kind of 0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:46.359 helped me have like a new platform of understanding and 0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:52.600 availability towards acting. So that's when I got into improv 0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:56.319 and later throughout that class got into an improv troop, 0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:59.600 which also helped me with acting. And you know, I'm 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:04.919 finding it interesting now to have taken a step back 0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:07.759 from acting in the way in which I had been 0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:11.120 so accustomed to because right now I consider myself to 0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:14.600 be like on a long hiatus, like I've not officially retired. 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:17.360 I still am available for commercials and I will do 0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:19.840 an indie project, but I'm not a part of like 0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:23.080 the audition theatrical audition process, and there's a part of 0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:25.719 me and that's like I miss it, especially when I'm 0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:29.439 watching things I'm like, oh yeah, but like I think 0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:33.000 right now, what kind of fuels my The missing of 0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:35.960 it is just like the behind the scenes aspects of it, 0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:40.719 of the community, the creativity, the just the stuff that 0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:44.000 happens on set really and then you know, because it's 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.560 like learning how when I went to school and for 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:51.080 fashion design, I recognized that I enjoyed coming up with 0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:54.279 the concept, but then just like the middle part, the 0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:56.800 meat of it putting together, like picking the fabrics and 0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.120 learning how to sew and all those things, was like, Eh, 0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:01.480 this isn't as exciting, But being able to see the 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:05.000 end product, Oh my gosh, this is fantastic. So I 0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:07.600 had that same kind of association with acting of like 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:10.400 all right, being introduced to the character and then like 0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.120 kind of studying the lines and then the booking and 0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:15.279 but the audition process is a part of the meat, 0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:17.359 and then once you actually get to see it at 0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:19.640 the end, it's like, oh my gosh, this is great. 0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:24.640 So being able to have that association with like what 0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:28.680 actually is exciting for me now at this age is 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:32.040 just reminding me of like why I got into it, 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:34.560 or it's just like where I am now with it 0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:40.080 and having to allow myself the space to be creatively 0:36:40.280 --> 0:36:44.799 just more open minded because for so long, starting as 0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.040 a kid, it's like, oh this is what, this is 0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:49.239 who I am, this is what I'm going to do, 0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:53.200 and being able to do other creative things. Now it's like, 0:36:53.320 --> 0:36:55.520 oh no, you just have a creative mind. 0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:58.160 So yeah, great, just need the outlet or you need 0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:01.040 the outlet. Yeah, well that's great. 0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.920 So it's yeah, yeah, it's improv. 0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:06.240 By the way, for any actor out there listening, anybody 0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:08.440 who wants to be an actor, any actor who wants 0:37:08.520 --> 0:37:11.960 to hone their craft, there is nothing like improv. 0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:16.720 Oh my gosh, Yes, it's the best. It is the best. Yes, 0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:17.319 it really is. 0:37:17.680 --> 0:37:20.200 Oh my gosh, yes, and I say I miss it. 0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:22.120 But yet like this is improvised. 0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:24.760 It is, it is, And people don't. 0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:27.160 Consider that when it comes to life, Like they have 0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:29.399 this idea of like what improv is, and like, yes, 0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:33.040 depending upon its form, it can be this very structured thing. 0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:35.439 But like we have for what we're going to talk about, 0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:36.040 you guys have. 0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:38.840 Much but like, no, yeah that's great, and that's that. 0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:41.120 Nothing helps you with an actor like just getting on 0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:44.759 stage and just improving. Yah, you're knock you knock down 0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.080 all the walls. You're as vulnerable as you can be 0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:48.960 and you just go and it's just, Oh, it's the 0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:49.840 greatest thing in the world. 0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:52.640 Okay. So last question, and it's. 0:37:52.560 --> 0:37:55.239 And it's a very important one, okay. And this is 0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:58.400 something that we like to ask everybody. And by that, 0:37:58.480 --> 0:38:00.520 I mean we just realized we should have been out everybody, 0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:02.000 and you're now the third person that we're going to be. 0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:13.560 Unfortunately true. What was your favorite D com growing up? 0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:14.439 Oh? 0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:25.320 Oh, oh, I'm gonna butcher the name zen Xenon. 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:29.799 Yes, yes, because it was good. 0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:32.960 That was with the Spaceship right, Yes. 0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:36.360 But I'm almost convinced this might make you happy. 0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:39.359 I am almost convinced, and I actually probably could look 0:38:39.400 --> 0:38:41.520 back in our notes, but I think read it and 0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:44.719 Weeps cafeteria was the same as Xenon's. I almost think 0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:47.919 the name. Okay, I feel like they decorated a little 0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:49.640 bit wrong, because you guys have like a full blown 0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:51.320 food court in your cafeteria. 0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:55.359 You will say that, oh, my gosh, never even thought 0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:57.080 about it. Looking back on the movie, I'm. 0:38:56.880 --> 0:38:59.719 Like, yeah, it's just a food court at them, all 0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:03.479 of them.
