Q) What was your first reaction when you learned there was going to be a “Danger Force” crossover event?

 

A) I was so excited! I knew it would be so fun since I already knew a few of the actors. But I was so excited to meet the actors and actresses I had never worked with before and learn from them. I was interested to see how we would all work together and collaborate. The cast of “Danger Force” is very close, so I was a little nervous about bringing new people into our circle. But, overall, I was ready to get to work and meet new people!

 

Q) Who were you looking forward to working with the most from the other series?

 

A) Actually, I was looking forward to working with all of them. They all bring something unique to the table, and it’s fun to see it all come together. I love watching other actors on set and how they prepare for scenes. I learned something new every day from so many great actors and actresses during the crossover event. We got along very well, and it was great getting to know each other.

 

Q) Was it difficult to keep a straight face during some of the funnier scenes and who had the most trouble keeping it together?

 

A) The “Danger Force” scenes were a bit more serious, but we had a watch party all together and it was non-stop laughter! Usually, it is hard to keep a straight face and keep it together when we have funny scenes because we are all good friends. Once one of us starts laughing, the rest of the cast can’t stop. Laughter is contagious on set, and we always have a blast.

 

Q) What were some of your favorite scenes to film during the big crossover event?

 

A) Two of my favorite scenes to film were the flash mob scene when Shoutout screams, “Everyone down to the ground!” and the milkshake scene when Fisher (Mitchell Berg) is confronted with accusations of looking like Lil Dynamite. It was so much fun acting with the co-stars I am already so comfortable with and learning from the actresses and actors I had never met before. Being around new people pushed me to perform to the best of my ability.

 

Q) “Danger Force is such a popular series. What does it mean to you that your show was included in the biggest crossover event in history?

 

A) It means a lot to me because I know how much the fans love it when “worlds collide.” When I was younger, I remember getting so excited watching two of my favorite shows collide. So, I know how excited the fans are to see this epic crossover event because I was a fan just like them. I feel very proud to be a part of this collaboration, and I know the fans won’t be disappointed. We all worked so hard to make this happen, and it’s the best crossover yet!

 

Q) You are a part of social media. What kind of fan feedback did you receive to the episode?

 

A) The fans of all the shows seemed to love it. So many fan accounts tagged us in their edits – it was crazy! Fans of the show filled my social media accounts with tagged photos and videos expressing their love for the crossover episode. It was a crazy few days after the episode, with my phone blowing up with notifications nonstop. It felt great to have our hard work be so loved and appreciated by the fans.

 

Q) What have you personally taken away from your time starring on “Danger Force?”

 

A) Being a part of the “Danger Force” family has given me a strong work ethic. Since the start of the “Danger Force,” many obstacles got in the way of creating the show, but we kept finding ways to get it done. There were a lot of long hours on set, but it was all worth it. We wanted to make sure that we made something to be proud of and I would say we achieved that. The show has been a success, but it is all credited to the cast and crew’s strong work ethic.

 

Q) What are the other recent projects that you have been busy working on lately?

 

A) I have two cartoon voice-over projects in the works that I can’t talk about yet, but I can say that one is a family show, and the other is a satire for a more adult audience. Although I can’t discuss any details, I know the fans will love it and appreciate my transition into more serious roles. I want my fans to grow up with me, so I am excited for them to see my journey.

 

Q) Who would you most love to work with on a show or film in the future?

 

A) I have always looked up to Samuel L. Jackson. I think he is a fantastic actor and role model for many people including myself. I’ve been trying to manifest working with him into my life because I think I could learn a lot from someone who has had such an illustrious career in this business. I bet he has a lot of tips and tricks that he can offer me. Who knows? Maybe I could teach him a thing or two!

 

Q) What would you like to say to everyone who are fans and supporters of the work you do?

 

A) I would like to thank them for all the love and support they’ve given me over the last couple of years. I don’t know what I would’ve done without them. They keep me grounded in this crazy business and remind me of where I came from. Whenever I feel down or overwhelmed, they lift me and make me feel empowered. They always have such kind words for me, and I appreciate every second of it.
