Guaranteed human.

Thank you, everybody, for joining us on this park hopper episode of Magical Rewind.

Yes, you are joining us probably right from Spookyville, from Halloween Town.

And, oh, we are excited for this one.

We're excited for all of them, but some of them are pretty special because not only is this one going to be able to tell us a little bit about how to make a spooky movie, but how to fall

in love.

Maybe not while doing it, but afterwards, I can't wait.

So please help us welcome.

We're very excited from Halloween Town to this time it's personal.

I'm kidding.

It's Calabar's Revenge.

Everybody knows that.

Hey. Hey, hey, what's up?

Thank you so much for joining us. Oh, thanks for having me. We are big fans of this franchise.

We really are. We think it's kind of the perfect balance of spooky. But it's spooky

not scary. So kids can watch it. Teenagers can watch it. We think it's a really fun world. Exactly. Yeah, there's a couple of little bit of scary moments if you're like set, but other than that, it's just good family fun. Yeah, we agree 100%. So before we get into that world and learn everything we possibly can about it, we always like to find out how did you become an actor?

What in your life made you say, I need to be in this wonderful business of show?

Oh, my gosh.

I started acting, I think in the third grade, I was asked to be Tiny Tim in the high school's production of a Christmas carol.

And I think my teacher had recommended me for it because I don't know why. Maybe I was cracking jokes in the corner of the third of the classroom. She's like, I can't get this kid to shut up. So maybe he'll be okay on stage. Yes. And then I just started doing more plays and things like that because it was just so much fun. But I think really, I really decided to be an actor when I was probably like 15, 16.
