STAR-KIDZ EXCLUSIVES

1. How do you like working with Savannah and Max?

Well, Max is really funny and Savannah is really nice and funny too. They are really good listeners and they both like to play with me. It would be so fun if we could all do a movie together. They are awesome actors and good friends to me.

2. What was it like to film the big fight scene from this season?

Max did a really good job and the first time we did it, it was the most fun. When he pushed me down, it felt like he actually pushed me and he was my cousin so it kinda felt weird. It was hard to for me to get mad at him because he is my best friend. I really loved doing that scene and the director (Adam) was awesome!

3. Do you think that your “mom” and “dad” on the show will get back together?

No because they told me the truth that they were never ever getting married.

4. What was the best part of filming the school play?

That was so much fun because Savannah was in it and she is one of my best friends and I met another little dude, Anthony and he was really awesome too. Also, when we got to shake our pans and gold was in them. It made a lot of noise.

5. What are some of the funniest things to happen on set?

Well Dax is really funny all the time. One time we went to our great grandma’s house (on the show) and Dax had a remote control car and it was awesome. He ran it on mountains and into walls and it didnt break. Dylan (the producer) and Matt (2nd AD) always chase me around and play with me. One time Dylan chased me and he tripped over a chair.

6. How do you like working with Dax and Joy?

Dax and Joy (my mom and dad on the show) always sing songs when we are about to film and I join in even though I dont know the songs. I also like to make silly faces at the cameras when they are “rolling”. I love Joy’s laugh and she always gives me hugs. Dax always jokes around with me and he improvs a lot and I just go with it. I like the improving.

7. What is the best part of filming the big Braverman family scenes?

Everybody is talking and all the kids play around with each other and have fun. One time we were playing hide and go seek in the dining room. All my family is nice and I like to see everybody and grandpa Zeek always tells jokes.

8. How do you like working with Cole and Jadon?

Cole and Jadon are like my best best friends. They are funny and we like to play together. Jadon looks like my twin brother because he has curly hair like me, but Cole’s hair is way different, but they are twins for real. They are really good actors so I like doing scenes with them.

9. Do you have a favorite set to film on?

My favorite set is the recording studio (the luncheonette). I like to play with Dax and the keyboards like we are actually making sounds with them. We pretend that there is a person singing and we tell them what to do.

10. What has been your favorite scene to film?

This year, my favorite scene to film was when Savannah and I got to ride a razor scooter. It was awesome. We rode all day.

Do you like learning you lines for your scenes?

Yes because it is fun and I get them done in 5 minutes. I dont get nervous doing my lines cuz the directors let us improv a lot.

We’d like to thank Tyree and his family for participating in this year’s Holiday Q&A event!
