1. What’s it like to be back for Season 2 of The Neighbors?
It’s great to be back for a second season. The first season we are all getting used to everything and working with everybody so it’s always great when the same cast can come together for another year. I love working on the show with my cast mates so I’m glad to be back. I definitely miss my family back home in Texas but I have a great stage family that I enjoy working with!
2. What is your favorite part about working with Max Charles?
Max has become my best friend and we get along great. He’s a great actor so it is really easy to work with him on set and then we can mess around and hang out off set as well.
3. How do you enjoy working with Toks Olagundoye?
She is awesome and has become like my mom away from home. For my birthday she took me to Universal City Walk and she is just so fun to hang out with. I want to thank her for putting up with me on set and then taking me out for my birthday!
4. What is like working with Simon Templeman?
Same as working with Toks, Simon is a great actor and friend. We just went to the Christmas Parade together last weekend. Me, Simon, Max and Isabella got to ride in “The Neighbors” car for the parade. It was a lot of fun and he is always great to hang out with.
5. What was the best part of filming the documentary/spelling bee episode?
My favorite part of that episode was when I had to go on stage during the spelling bee and had to spell “cylinder” really fast and then swagger off stage.
6. How did you enjoy working on Wanderlust?
Working on Wanderlust was a great experience and opportunity to work with some amazing actors in a pretty big movie. It was my first big part in a movie and I was able to learn from both the actors and the entire experience. It is definitely really different than filming for TV.
7. What was it like working with Jennifer Aniston?
She is a great actress and a very nice person. She was really easy to work with and I am just grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of it. What more can I say.
8. What was the experience like being on Good Morning Texas?
I always like coming back home to Dallas and being able to share/tell people about “The Neighbors” is great. I like being able to tell people from my home town to watch “The Neighbors” and support.
9. Do you ever get recognized in public for The Neighbors?
Oh yes, that’s always fun, and it’s happening more and more now. Now that The Neighbors have gone into a second season I have started to get recognized, it’s so cool.
10. What has been your favorite episode of the season so far?
My favorite episode of the season so far is probably the “Good Debbie Hunting” episode. Debbie is getting ready for her grad school exam and since Dick is a math genius I get to tutor her. It was really funny to film and hope people liked the episode.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Only to ask everyone to watch “The Neighbors” and keep us on the air for another season! Thank you all!! Oh and happy holidays!
We’d like to thank Ian for participating in this year’s Holiday Q&A Event!
