Funny, Outgoing and Adventurous
Name one your strengths?
Talking
How’s a typical day in your life?
A typical day begins with waking up at 7:00 and gettin all my school done, and then either playing games or skateboarding, and then preparing for auditions.
Who is your biggest supporter?
My mom, because she is the one that deals with the agents and managers, prints out scripts and drives me everywhere.
How did you get started in the industry?
Well, whenever I was younger apparently I was super funny and my stuck me in an improv class. The improv teacher suggested we get an agent and so we did. I got my first audition and have loved it ever since.

My first commercial was for Shell gasoline and my first theatrical role was playing young Josh Hartnett in a movie called 6 Below.
Do you have or had acting classes?
Yes! I have a couple of private coaches (Ms. Vicki Baumann & Marnie Cooper). I am taking scene study class at Young Actor’s Workspace with the amazing Lisa Picotte.
What is the best and worst part of being an actor?
The best part is the satisfaction of booking and being on set with all these amazing people. The worst part is getting a 10-13 page script that is due in a few hours!!
How do balance your personal life with your acting life?
Well, I am very lucky to be homeschooled and have acting friends who understand and I don’t do sports so it’s pretty easy in my opinion.
Best advice ever given?
Don’t beat yourself up about not getting a role, because sometimes it’s not right for you and we all fall…but the most important part is getting back up and keep on going!
How do you prepare for a role?
First I read the script and character description and put myself in the character’s shoes. Then I memorize the script and perfect the performance.

This one was fun because I was a fan of the show and what better role to play then the young version of the super hero! This set was incredible and everyone was super nice! In fact me and Captain Man (AKA Cooper Barnes) still talk. I also took away some pretty cool Henry Danger souvenirs!
And about your role as Jar in Blackish?
The wardrobe in this one was awesome! The set was incredible and everyone was extremely nice and welcoming! The set teachers on Black*ish (Adam and Tom the teacher) were my favs to date!
What other projects you have been part of?
I was on Fresh off the Boat as well as had a recurring role as Shart on Me Myself and I with Jack Dylan Grazer. I recently had the honor to work on Amazon’s The Romanoffs with Matthew Weiner, Diane Lane and playing young Ron Livingston.
What kind of roles do you like or would like to play and why?
I love drama, because with dramatic roles there is a lot of depth and content.
Which role has been the most challenging and which one your favorite?
My role in 6 Below was the most physically challenging with extreme conditions. I can’t really name a favorite because they have all been amazing!
