1. How did you get started in the industry?

I was a soccer player and my coach asked me to take gymnastics to make my feet quicker. I tried it but didn’t like it and my friends who did gymnastics also did Hip Hop dancing and they convinced me to try it and I loved it. I represented my studio at an international competition and did very well. One of the judges was the choreographer of the franchise film; “Step Up” and she convinced my Dad that I had a future in film. From there I took acting classes, got chosen for an amateur acting competition in Las Vegas where I also did very well, landed a manager then ultimately an agent and was off to the races since. The more I book, perform and act, the more I love the business.

2. What was one of your favorite things about working on The Neighbors?

I love accents, and the First AD was Irish and I was with him the entire shoot. I was able to hone my accent after that. Also the cast and crew were really nice.

3. What was the experience like working on Big Time Rush?

It was pretty cool. I had watched the show since the beginning and was a fan. Mr. Bitters was a hoot to work with as was Ciara Bravo. Their set had a real pool in it and the lobby scenes were really fun.

4. Do you have a favorite episode of Partners you’ve done?

That show and working with James Burrow as the Director was amazing. I think it would still be on if it had been put in a later time slot. It aired on CBS at 8:30PM. The humor was not really good for younger kids. The scene I did for the second show was powerful and touching, but it got pulled right before airing, so I’d have to say the pilot was my favorite where we set up the characters.

5. What was it like filming Wendell & Vinnie?

It was awesome. I had three fairly lengthy scenes and we shot for a few days. Again the Executive Producer and the Director as well as the entire cast were awesome to work with. Jerry Trainor is wonderful to play off of. I used to watch him on iCarly when I was younger and always liked his style. I really had to act by playing an exact opposite of myself.

6. How did you enjoy working on Modern Family?

It was fine. They had a huge cast and tons of stuff going on. I sort of felt like I got lost in the shuffle a bit, but the show is great.

7. What was your favorite part of filming Unmimely Demise?

I loved being a co-star and having a substantial role. It was one of my earlier films that is ultimately going to the theatre. I loved the scene where my father (in the film) and I took out the bad guy.

8. What can you tell us about your new series Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street?

The show is about three best friends who grow up on Normal Street, and they uncover deep and dark secrets sort of like the Hardy Boys Mysteries of the 1960’s. It has an old time TV feeling. This is my finest work yet to date. As the title character, I have the responsibility to drive the film. The script is the finest I read in three years in Hollywood. The director, Luke Matheny is an Oscar winner and a joy to work with. I had an amazing cast to work with like Fionnula Flanagan, Robyn Lively, Ashley Boettcher, and Drew Justice. All of them are stars in their own right. I felt like the character was me, and I also get to narrate the show. I can’t wait for the world to see the show. It was a blast to film and has amazing potential to run for many years.

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

Fionnula Flanagan, Robyn Lively, Ashley Boettcher, Drew Justice, David Krumholtz, Sofia Bush, Michael Urie, Brandon Routh, Rob Corddry, Heather Graham, Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, Patrick Gallo, John Piruccello, Tom Martin, Jay Leno and I’m in the process of working with James Duval.

10. What has been your favorite project to work on?

“Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street” – nothing else even comes close.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I’m honored that you have taken the time to craft questions that have meaning to me. Happy Thanksgiving/Holiday Season to you all.
