Hi Skyler, Tell us about you?

When did you first get into acting?
I been acting my whole life. My first film I must have been about 6 years old.
What was your first role, and which one has been your favorite?
My first role was an independent film for my uncle called Reverse Heaven. I remember it was such a dramatic role.
I can’t really say that I have a favorite role. Every role I play is a different character and a different family to play with. Meaning when you work on set everyone becomes family. So every experience is always different.
BRATZ, has definitely made an impact in my career. It’s touched so many young people and till this day I get a lot of tweets and Instagram posts on how much they love the film and they still watch it everyday and that just means so much to me.
Any other member of your family is in the business?
My mom’s side of the family is in the business. My mom was a child actress and a country singer. She still sings. My uncle is a movie producer and my godfather is an actor.
Are you working on any current projects?
I just wrapped up Ray Donovan that will premiere on Showtime July 12th. That was an incredible experience and such a great shot and team to be part of.
Who you would love to work with?
I would love to work with Leonardo Dicaprio. That’s such a dream of mine. He’s an incredible actor.

Chloe has touched so many and it’s so rewarding to meet kids who grew up watching BRATZ and still watch it and how much they loved the movie and how they were able to relate it.
What is the best and worst part of being an actor?
With anything there’s always ups and downs.
Acting is a beautiful thing, you can discover yourself in so many ways you are exploring yourself and a person and not only that but you play pretend. You bring a person to life. It’s a fantasy in a sense. The worst part? I guess the negative judgment that the public makes. But it’s what comes with it
