When he called cut on a scene where I'm supposed to literally be on the floor sobbing, he came in and gently asked if I was okay, with his hand on his heart, before he gave me a hug.ĭo you have any performances or moments that you are particularly proud of in your career?
And Steven was always so gracious and kind.
But when I got to set, it really didn't take long for me to make friends and settle in and feel comfortable in the environment.

I'm always intimidated going into new projects but getting the once in a lifetime chance to represent Steven Spielberg's movie based on his life was one of the biggest, scariest honors in the world. What is it like to work with such a legendary director, especially on a film about his own life? Were you ever intimidated by the role or the project? I had seen most of his movies and had practically memorized the documentary about his life, so when my agent, Danie, told me he was considering me for the role I almost cried because I had always said that working with Steven was my number one dream. Were you familiar with Steven's life and work before you were cast? But then, on my birthday, Steven called and told me he wanted me to play Reggie Fabelman, and I can for sure say that it was the best birthday present ever.

Then a few days after I sent it, I realized I forgot to add a slate and a full standing shot to the file, and I freaked out because I was so scared I had missed my chance to do my dream job. I remember working really hard on a self-tape for a scene that was pretty difficult with my acting coach, Kimberly Bigsby, and sending it in on Easter, 2021. Tell me about the process of getting cast in The Fabelmans. Of course, it is intimidating to be a child working with such well-known people, but it's important to know that I don't need kid gloves and I understand and love my job. I always hope that even though I'm young, my coworkers can see me as an actor and (while still considering that I'm a minor) treat me with the same respect as they would treat everyone else working on the project. I mean we're all trying to do our best in the same movie. What is it like to be a young person on set working with such established people?īeing treated as an equal to the other actors has always been something I hope productions consider because at the end of the day we're all here for a reason. Most of your major roles have been in more adult projects alongside a lot of well-known actors and directors. And I guess both made their way into The Gray Man. I am open to experiment with different genres and try new things while I'm young so I wouldn't really say I prefer certain genres over others, but I have a special place in my heart for comedy and drama. My character Claire specifically had a lot of vulnerable scenes with Donald and Six, and I think it's important to have moments like that in action movies to ground the audience and remind them that it's more than just “another Thursday” for Claire.ĭo you prefer to work in one genre over others? The characters had heartfelt moments and real emotions that people in real life would have if they went through the same. I was really excited to do an action movie not only because I love doing my own stunts (if possible, of course) but more so because The Gray Man is different from a lot of other action movies.
What was it like to take on a more action and thriller movie focused role like Claire in The Gray Man? Throughout your career you have worked in sitcoms and dramas.
