It was the first stunt I have ever done, and it was super fun. There is one part of the movie where I fall out of a pretty big tree backward onto the ground. I got to do all kinds of magic tricks! I got to do my own stunt, which was also so fun. What was your favourite part about working on Magic Max? So, I tried my best to get everyone’s name down. Milo taught me that you should try to know everyone’s name on set. You need to make friends and connect with other people. It was super quick getting in there and meeting everyone and you have to go into it with an open mind. What lessons did you take from being an actor on This Is Us to the set of a feature film? Stay motivated and find something that you can look forward to! You starred in a movie, Magic Max. Well, this is all temporary so it’s all going to go away one day, and we can go back to seeing our friends and being normal again. Do you have any advice for people your age who are struggling to stay active and positive during the pandemic? I also make these chicken taquitos and they are really, really good. I love making enchiladas! I feel like they are really fun to make. So yeah, just trying to stay busy! What is your favourite meal to make at home? We’ve also been cooking and baking a lot! I have made A LOT of cookies. I usually play soccer, but I haven’t been able to do that because of the pandemic. It’s been one of my main hobbies that I can do with my dad. I’ll go exercise and I’ll go play golf a lot. It’s been a rough year! I’ve just been trying to stay busy and get outside as much as I can. How are you coping with the Covid-19 pandemic? But we have still been working a lot so at least that has been normal. They look a bit like a hockey penalty box so that’s kind of fun. On set, there are these boxes that we get to take our masks off in to eat something. So, it’s been kind of weird going to the city just to get tested. What have you noticed is different about your job since the pandemic started?Įvery other day you have to get tested or sometimes it’s every day. I see Milo sometimes too just to hang out and chat. Me and my siblings on the show have a little group chat called “The Mini Big Three” that we keep in touch with. Do you keep in contact with your castmates a lot outside of work? Whenever I’m on set I just have so much fun with them. Since I’ve known them for six years now, they’re like my family. But mostly my favourite has been just being on set and hanging out with my friends. Before Covid, I learned a lot about the directing side of things and more of the camera operating stuff so that has been pretty cool. It’s always super fun because I get to learn a lot from him. It’s always fun when I get to work with Milo, just me and him. What has been your favourite part of working on this show?
