Brandin Stennis played the role of Charlie Ashby on The Young and the Restless. This year he has been seen working for Zuru, Nike, and doing live theater!

1. What was your time on set like filming for Zuru?
Zuru was a very fun company to film with! The whole shoot I got to open up toys and review them and got to do some very fun things with them such as jumping in a pool full of toys for a video on their TV commercial and YouTube channel. Overall, working with Zuru was a vey fun experience. I loved the TV commercial.

2. How cool was it to get slimed at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards?
It was very fun to get slimed this year. I’ve been going since 2012 and have loved it since. The event is fun because you basically get front row seats to performances and get to get slimed which is almost any kids dream!

3. How did you react when you heard you were nominated for a Young Artist Award?
I was very exited when I was nominated for the Young Artist Award. It had been my second year being nominated and I knew that even a nomination for an award is a gift and I took the nomination greatly. I was even more excited when my name was announced as the winner for the nomination for best actor for a TV show.

4. What was the experience like attending the ceremony?
The ceremony was fantastic! I got the chance to hang out with many other amazing actors and got to meet up with long time acting friends. I loved the experience and when I won the award I loved the experience even more!

5. What was your shoot for Nike like?
My shoot with Nike was great. The job was very fun and I loved filming with the company and filming the job. The shoot was on location on top of a hill in Los Angeles it was very nice.

6. How did you enjoy filming your Old Navy commercial?
My Old Navy commercial was very cool! It filmed almost five minutes from my house which was a pure win-win! Also I got to film during the night and they even made it snow which made the commercial even better to film. It was great to be part of an Old Navy commercial for “A Christmas Story Live”. It was a fun evening.

7. What was the best part of working for DreamWorks?
he DreamWorks video I did filmed at Universal Studios and if you know me you know I love amusement parks. I got the chance to roam around the park while finding clues to solve a puzzle. The job was definitely one of the funnest I worked on and at the end of the day, I won an Amazon Fire so that was dope!!!

8. What was the experience like doing The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker with Debbie Allen?
Working on the Hot Chocolate Nutcracker was an experience I will never forget. Ever since day one of the auditions I loved the experience of dancing in front of Debbie Allen. When she picked me to be in the show, I was thrilled! I loved going to the long rehearsals 20 hours a week, all the stressful days, all the fun days, all of the friends I met doing the show, and all of the memories made being in it. It was great to perform in front of producer Shonda Rhimes, Motown’s Berry Gordy and Quincy Jones.

9. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with this year?
My favorite people I worked with this year were Don B. Welch, Marla Gibbs, Dawn Lewis, The Black Eyed Peas, Debbie Allen, Mingos, Chris Paul

10. Do you have a favorite project you’ve worked on this year?
I taped 50 episodes for a kids Science show which will air very soon. I loved working on the theatrical plays with Don B. Welch and Debbie Allen. Also, I love doing red carpet interviews and have met so many wonderful people this year. I can’t wait until next year.
