When did you get into acting?
I got into acting when I was around five after seeing my grandparents in commercials.
What was your most fun role to play?
My favorite role was probably Harry in Freaky Friday.
What was it like working with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis?
They were both great and helpful and a lot of fun. Jamie used to let me hang out in her trailer sometimes. And she bought a Ping-Pong table for the cast and crew to have tournaments.
Will there be a sequel to Freaky Friday?
That would be awesome, but there aren't any plans right now that I am aware of. But if you watched the extras on the DVD, you see that the original ending sets up that possibility.
Are you filming anything right now?
I just started working on a new movie called How to Eat Fried Worms, filming in Austin, Texas through the end of the Summer. I play a character named "Benjy," who's kind of a sidekick to a bully named "Joe." I'm having a great time, and have already made some new friends down here.
What was your most fun experience during filming?
One time when I was working on a TV pilot (The Robinsons: Lost in Space), I had to do a stunt where I was sucked out of a spaceship.
What’s your ideal movie gig?
My ideal role is to play a secret agent.
What theatrical shows have you performed in?
Not any yet, except for Honk, the show I appeared in at my middle school this past Spring. Honk is a musical version of "The Ugly Duckling" fable, and I played the lead character, "Ugly."
If you could meet any celebrity, who would you pick and why?
I would really like to meet Jim Carrey because he’s hilarious!
What advice would you give anyone trying to get into acting?
If you really want to do it, go for it and don't give up. My acting teacher, Nora Eckstein, has been in this business a while and had these words of wisdom: "I usually tell kids to get involved in school, church or community theatre anywhere they can - there is nothing more fun than being in a show, and even if they are simply on the crew, they'll meet lots of friends who share the same interests. I also think it's important to encourage kids to read as much as they can, because, after all, an actor's job is to convey a story, and they need to be able to have a strong understanding of language, style, and character. Remember, it takes lots of hard work. You wouldn't pick up a violin for three months and expect to audition for the Philharmonic! Or take up gymnastics for a few weeks and go straight to the Olympics. Acting takes lots of work and plenty of patience too, but if you love it, and you simply have to do it, you'll find a path to make your dreams come true."
Where do you plan to take your acting career?
I would like to keep going as long as I can!
