Q) What are the current projects that you are working on?

 

A) Currently I am just working on Season 3 of “This Is Us.” When I am not filming, I attend public school, so it is hard to do too many things and still be able to attend my classes.

 

Q) What can we look forward to in Season 3 of “This Is Us?”

 

A) I think you can look forward to the back story of my grandpa Jack (Milo Ventimiglia), uncle Kevin’s (Justin Hartley) search for what happened to grandpa Jack in Vietnam…and I can’t say much past that, but this season will be the best ever.

 

Q) In what ways do you feel you are most like Annie Pearson and not like Annie?

 

A) I feel like I am like Annie Pearson because, like Annie, I am the youngest in my family. I consider myself pretty stylish like Annie; however, I do not like to wear a lot of dresses and skirts like she does. I only do that at events. There are times I may say something witty to my parents or sisters like she does. I think I also talk a lot more than she does, my sisters call me a chatterbox.

 

Q) If you could choose a storyline for Annie to have in the future, what type of storyline would you choose and why?

A) If I could choose a storyline for Annie, it would have to be about how she is managing being the youngest child and also dealing with having a new foster sibling.

 

Q) What has been your favorite Beth and/or Randall moment with Annie?

 

A) Anytime we do fun family stuff together. I enjoy time with my family a lot, so when we all get to hang out, I enjoy those work days. I really enjoy our Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes.

 

Q) Are there any upcoming guest stars you can tease from Season 3 of “This Is Us?”

 

A) No spoilers! Plus, that is above my knowledge, so I do not have any idea.

 

Q) Talk about working with costars and parents Susan Kelechi Watson and Sterling K. Brown. What motivated you to pursue acting?

A) I think I have the two coolest TV parents ever! Did you see their dance to the Kiki Challenge? They are always having fun. We have fun together on set. It never feels like work. Mr. Sterling and Ms. Susan are both amazing actors and working with them each time helps me to learn and grow as an actor.

 

Q) Given the opportunity, which actor would you love to work with?

A) I would love to work with Zendaya, Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Viola Davis, Dwayne Johnson.

 

Q) When you’re not working on “This Is Us” are there any shows you love to watch?

 

A) Yes. One of my favorite shows is “Andi Mack.” I also love the new NBC show “Manifest.” My whole family loves watching it.

 

Q) You are a part of social media. Do you enjoy the instant fan feedback you receive to episodes?

 

A) Yes. It is so amazing how many people love watching the show and the feedback they give is wonderful. It shows they care about what they watched. I always think people talking is better sometimes than silence.

 

Q) Is there any advice you would give to those looking to pursue a career in acting at a young age?

 

A) It is a lot of work. I have to memorize lines, be on set, go to auditions and ALWAYS make sure to do my school work. You have to manage your time and be focused. The advice I would give is follow your dreams and passions. Never give up or feel like you’re not good enough. What is meant to be, will be for you. You have to just have FAITH and follow your HEART.

 

Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and the show?

 

A) Fans and supporters of the show, I would just like to say, “Thank you and you are the best! Thank you for watching, thank you for caring and thank you for letting us share our Tuesday nights with you.”
