love doing voice overs! I`ve done so much of them from the time I was seven years old, and I never get tired. I always see each voice characterization as a full blown acting gig. I still get into character, and I really enjoy the process. For "Barnyard" I did the voice of a "chick," which was really a blast because I had to manipulate my voice to another pitch.
I was glad when I got the call back to do the episode for "Without a Trace." Doing drama is a very welcome departure from comedy. Although I love doing both, I like to change it up a bit once in a while with roles in serious drama. I appear in the episode titled "One and Only" on the 5th season of the show.
When I got a call to do the voice of Johnny in an episode of "American Dad" titled "I Can`t Stan You," it was a great opportunity to be a part of a really funny cutting-edge show on television. I really got into the character and I was able to do some improvisation, which allowed me to mix in part of my personality into the script.
The cast and crew of this show are the best! I loved being on the set and the whole atmosphere was just really fun and cool. I played the well dressed kid on the 6th episode of the first season. Well dressed kid is just that-a well dressed kid who wears expensive suits. My character actually says a really funny line in the episode about how he wouldn`t even look at a suit that "only cost $150." This character is definitely fictional I don`t know any guy who would say that. As a young actor, I really believe doing guest appearances on different shows is the best training because I have the chance to work with different actors, directors, and crew members. It was a blast doing this episode.
I do a lot of teen shows and voice over work for animation, so when I got the part in "The Number 23" it was really cool because now I get to be in a movie with Jim Carrey. Acting in this movie was really a learning experience for me. I still played this young kid, but very different from my character in "Zoey 101" or any of the characters I`ve played in the past. This film is very mysterious and dark, and I think that my experience in doing this film exposed me to something different and more mature. I hope to do more projects like this in the future.
The cast of Zoey 101 are like a family to me.
