1. How did you get started in the industry?

I wanted to be “in the t.v.”. It was fascinating to me.

 

2. What was your first booking? Do you remember your first day on set?

My first commercial was a State Farm commercial. I was 4.3

It was the first time I had a trailer, the craft services people brought me chocolate cake and pancakes and eggs; anything I wanted. I was shocked. The makeup people put fake blood on me for the commercial. It looked so real.

 

3. What was your favorite part of filming Defending Santa?

My favorite part of Defending Santa was the football scene. We were all playing and I was with Chloe the dog, I was also the coach.

 

4. What was it like working with Betty White on Off Their Rockers?

I had a great time with Betty White. She was really funny and hugged me a lot.

5. How do you prepare for an audition?

I usually get coached before an audition and practice the character in many different ways, just to see which feels right.

 

6. What was it like filming Written in Stone?

In Written in Stone I was freaked out by the fake needle and had to practice using it to make sure it didn’t hurt. It was sad to know that there are kids out there that are so sick.

 

7. Do you have a favorite commercial you’ve done this year?

Doing the Disney commercial was the most fun so far.

 

8. What has been one of the funniest or coolest things to happen on set?

The coolest thing on set was staying at Disneyland, swimming in the pool and having endless ice-cream. That was awesome!

 

9. Who have been some of your favorite people to work with?

I loved working with the cast of Defending Santa; we all became a real family.

 

10. What are your future career goals?

I am looking forward to more projects- a series would be nice too.

 

We’d like to thank Jamie for participating in this year’s November Q&A series!
