YEM: Your character Leo has scenes that happen in 1992. Do you do any research to prepare for playing a character from the 90s? How much did you know about the 90s before joining the show?

Christian: First, let me just say the 90s were a cool time. My parents told me a few things about the 90s, but I mostly learned as we went. I think what’s great about the show is that it’s so relatable. Even though his scenes are set in the 90s, Leo is still a middle school kid who is just trying to maneuver through life as a teenager.  The only thing I knew about the 90s was that my mom and dad didn’t have cellphones at my age and that computers used floppy disks.

YEM: The show just got picked up for a second season! What can fans expect to see coming up on the show?

Christian: Woohoo, so exciting! The fans can expect to see more heartwarming stories, great moments between friends, possible new characters, and lots of comedy.

YEM: You also do a lot of voiceover work. How is voicing an animated character different from acting on a set?

Christian: You can go to work in your pjs if you’d like. Lol, just kidding. Voiceover work requires a big imagination and a lot of creativity. Sometimes you are in the booth with just the director, a mic and a script without the story being animated. You have to figure out a way to use your voice to bring a character to life. I love that I can be as big & animated as I want to be. Check out T.O.T.S., a new animated show about friendship, love, and celebrating each other’s differences where I play Freddy the Flamingo airing on Disney Channel.

YEM: You’re also a dancer! How do you balance dancing and acting?

Christian: Yes, I love to dance. Dancing & Acting are very similar to me because they are both creative outlets. I use them both to balance each other out. Acting is my first love, but I try to dance as much as I can in my free time.

YEM: Will we see you do any dancing on Sydney to the Max?

Christian: Leo has danced a few times on the show so I hope we get a chance to see more.
