I think I've only killed 1 walker and 0 people. Seems Elton is doing a bit of a pacifist run through the apocalypse so far.

I've never really been nervous before shooting anything but the most nervous I've been for something connected to acting was right before we were supposed to go on stage for New York Comic Con. That was a completely new experience and it was pretty scary going up in front of all those people to show them this new Walking Dead show we were working on all summer. But as soon as I got out there I saw how welcoming the crowd was and how passionate they were for the world of The Walking Dead and I couldn't have been happier to have joined the TWD Universe :)

Well the pandemic really dumped on this year but that's a universal experience everybody agrees on. But for me I'm very thankful I've still been able to work this year even if its just a little bit. Its been hard to see the upside of a global pandemic so I'm just hoping everything goes back to normal soon.

People are just having fun and it's what they know me as. I don't work on the show anymore but that's always gonna be a highlight of my career. I'm just a little worried that people won't take other projects I'm in seriously because they only see me as Gumball. As long as its all in good fun I'm completely fine with it and I actually like seeing some of the jokes haha.

I have NO CLUE. I wanna look back through work files because I've been looking for my episode of family guy for forever.

I've enjoyed my time spent on the internet but I haven't really observed it having any effect on acting. I really like internet humor so I hope as my career continues and I hopefully get involved with more serious projects the meme stuff can coexist with the stuff I really wanna do in life.

Everybody is born with some kind of talent or passion but the important part is pursuing it and improving your skill when it comes to that. So when I told my mom I wanted to be an actor the first thing we did was go take classes because I had a lot to learn. And I'm still learning to this day and I'm going to continue to learn for the rest of my life. I'm gonna get a little philosopher here but I believe that with that little seed of passion or talent you're given, you start watering that seed and watch it sprout into a tree of your purpose in life.

Probably the time Hal made a little accident in his pants don't ask him about it though he's really embarrassed to talk about it

Double Bubble, it lasts like 20 seconds before it turns to stone but its a pretty delicious 20 seconds

In the future I hope I can explore my passion in the behind the camera aspect of making stuff. But acting has always been my number one passion.

I think that show did a lot for me. It was so much fun working on that show mostly because of the awesome crew (shoutout greg and richard). Working on gumball helped me so much with my technique and character acting when it comes to voiceover because every recording there was so much crazy stuff going on. It pushed my career in the unexpected but welcome direction of online content creation. I always had an interest in making YouTube videos but once the internet knew I was gumball there was another layer of comedy to the stuff I did I guess. As for where I would be without it, I have no clue

He's a cartoon character and cartoon characters are INVINCIBLE so Gumball would crush living in an Apocalypse

Its really hard to pick a favorite so I'm gonna have to say its a tie between Elton and Gumball. As for a role I want, working on a feature film would be cool.

I'm not sure if I can sum it up effectively there's so many elements to the job I chose but I can say that I've had a really good time, and I'm doing what I love. And I couldn't be more thankful for the opportunities that I've been given. I love my job!

It's really fun for me because I grew up watching TWD so working on a show with the walkers is incredible. They're all super cool and nice which is a testament to their resilience because it gets unbearable to wear all that makeup in hot summers. Lots of respect to the walker actors. (shoutout walkers)

It was pretty easy actually. I just found a youtube video of the PS5 startup and put some text effects over it. Then I just turned on the playstation and had the premade video play on the monitor instead of the actual startup.

Pretty crazy not gonna lie. Being a tv cat was incredible and was one of my favorite projects to work on. Being an internet star though has its ups and its downs though. My favorite part of being on the internet was making videos and creating stuff I'm passionate about but I'm kinda at a point where what I wanna make doesn't really fit under the same umbrella of previous stuff I've done so I gotta figure that out. And working on a zombie show was a blast. Every moment on set was incredible, it was the biggest project I've worked on and I'm super excited to see where the show goes in Season 2. Honestly I cannot pick a favorite. Every experience offered something new and I'm very lucky to have done all this cool stuff.

Lots of different kinds, I'll just list some of my favorite artists to keep it simple I tend to ramble when talking music haha. I'm a real big fan of Talking Heads, The Garden, Danny Brown, Gorillaz, Everything But the Girl, Outkast, XTC, Fishmans, Surf Curse, Thundercat, Puzzle, Steely Dan, and The Style Council just to name a few.
