What language did you have to learn?
It was called Lacoda, it was an old, dead Indian language. It was pretty tough, but I only had a few lines of it.
What are the ups and downs of the business in your opinion?
The ups are definitely meeting new people, going places, bragging that you got to meet Jennifer Lopez and Arnold Swartznagger, The downs are probably the auditioning process, because that usually takes awhile, traveling, cause you always get pretty tired.

It hasn’t really hit me yet, my friends are stoked, they are like "how come you’re not freaking out or anything?"

I was saying that I have a band, I really want to do a live show, and record and album. Also to work out more.
What was the scariest or most embarrassing thing you’ve ever had to do on set?
There was one scene that I had to do, where I had to rap. It was pretty embarrassing to me, cause I’m not that good at it.
You’ve met a lot of cool people through your line of work, out of all of them, who are your top ones and why?
Probably one of the coolest people I’ve ever met was Richard Leycock, He was on the Tv Show called Doc. He played my step dad in that show, and also I really like Jennifer Lopez, she’s really cool. She taught me a lot, she helped me with my acting.
If you can do anything for one day, what would it be?
I would play sold out rock show. With the band Blink 182, before they broke up of course.
