How ya doin' Wanna?
Hi! I'm doin' good how about yourself? Yeah, really good, thanks.
So when I was a kid,
I used to love the Addams Family, and Pugsley was always my favorite character.
How much fun was it for you to play him in this movie?
It was definitely a lot of fun to play
in this movie, because all the characters I've done in the past
have had tough lives and it's been pretty crazy.
But it was great to have somebody
for a change and be able to bring out that playful and prankster side of it.
I really like that.
Yeah. I mean, Pugsley has a kind of funny relationship with his sister Wednesday.
Were you able to relate that at all to your relationship with your siblings?
Maybe minus or or they're trying to kill each other stuff.
You know, all. Yeah,
I have an older sister as well. And.
You know, I know I can get under her skin sometimes, but
she doesn't want to hurt me the way that Wednesday, those folks, you know.
I mean, you've taken this character over from Finn Wolfhard.
He did it in the first movie.
Did you kind of watch the first film and try and capture the kind of same
tone as his and try and be consistent with the character's voice?
Or did you just want to bring your own your own twist to this movie?
Yeah. No, I did watch the first one and Finn did a phenomenal job.
I was just trying to bring my own energy
to it, to bring that character to life in the way that I feel like it's best.
But I'm also I also was trying
to bring that same energy we all know and love from Pugsley.
I obviously it's an amazing cast, but I know that voice acting sometimes
can be so isolating, often
just done alone in a booth so that you have the chance to work with or even meet
some of the other kind of cast members, you know, especially Snoop Dogg.
It's always been a dream of mine.
Mm hmm. Yeah. You know, sadly, I can't meet any of the cast because they were
because of Covid and all that.
So it was pretty tough
because everybody has to stay at home, be healthy and all that.
How was the experience doing in animation?
Is it quite hard to act when there's nothing in front of you?
And did the production kind of give you anything to to help with that?
You know, doing animation was great, but it wasn't hard.
I mean, it wasn't too hard in the aspect there was nothing to act in front of.
But what I love so much about it is you can do so many things with your voice
and, you know, like making cool sound effects and,
you know, like talking underwater.
And there are so many different things you can do with that.
I like looking at some of your your IMDB and what you were coming up is like
you're going to be in Samaritan.
And if so, how does your kind of character fit into into that story?
And did you get the chance to do any scenes with Sylvester Stallone?
Yeah, I did do a lot of my scenes with him and that and that was great.
I'm really excited for you guys
hear about that, but can't talk too much about that right now.
I mean, it may not be like a huge deal
to you sometimes working with these kind of people like Sylvester Stallone.
But I guess there must be some people you meet
where your parents are just like, oh, my God.
Because I guess I mean, yeah.
For you, it must be kind of
I guess you haven't got that same nostalgic relationship
that maybe your parents might, but they must be so excited on your behalf
and you get to work with people like that.
I mean, I guess sometimes. But
I mean, I don't know.
I mean, I guess sometimes you maybe
I haven't bought myself a final question, but I was going to say,
when I was of your age, if someone said to me,
what do I want to be when I grow up, I'd have said if I wouldn't have had none.
So I would have said something unrealistic,
like I wanted to be a soccer player,
which you can we can both tell that never happened.
But for you, I mean, you're working already at such a young age.
You're chasing your dreams already.
Is it is is something you want to do long term?
Do you want to kind of continue being an actor so for the foreseeable
future? Yeah. No, I think my goal and I would love to do that long term.
You know, I also want to see boxing so really high level.
And those are both my goals.
And I've had those goals since I was little.
But acting is it's a pretty newer thing
than I've only been doing it for around three or four years now. And
it was it was great to get in the space.
And I'm loving it, you know, and I would've never thought
that this would be like a passion and love so much.
But I do that in boxing.
But what you need to do is get yourself a role in the film, playing a boxer,
and you can join me now.
Oh. Thank you so much for your time today and best for at least
the film. Thank you.
