00:00Tell us what it was like playing Lex's dad. Did you absolutely love it?

00:05It was awesome. It was so much fun. So much fun. Since I'm not like the dad age, it was

00:11the only time I really had the opportunity to play a dad because she was young. She was

00:16a toddler. So yeah, it was super, super cool. I've never really had the opportunity to play

00:19a dad before.

00:21You know, this is not the traditional dad fit. I don't think I've seen my dad wear this.

00:25Really? Well, I'm sure your dad would look great in this.

00:26Can you tell us a little bit about it? It's super swaggy right now.

00:29Thank you. I appreciate it. This is from a tattoo artist named Finnegan. I love his work,

00:34so I bought this shirt from him. And this is just like boohoo man, and I cut it to make

00:39it a crop.

00:40Okay, so he's the cool dad.

00:42Yeah, I'm the cool dad. I'm the cool dad.

00:44So what are you most looking forward to tonight?

00:46Honestly, I'm kind of going in blind. Like I said, what I filmed was kind of like, you

00:52know, I didn't get to witness all the dance performances or anything like that. So I'm

00:55just excited to see the whole thing, you know?

00:58Tell us about your dance resume.

01:00Oh, I took like hip hop class when I was in like second grade. So it's, it's, I don't

01:06really have a dance resume, but my sister's an amazing dancer. So I grew up watching dance

01:09my whole life. So it's a lot, a lot of respect for it.

01:12And what advice did you have for up and coming actors who want to break into the business?

01:18Take everything at first, take everything, just get, get yourself on tape, get footage

01:22of yourself, build the reel. You can, there's no downside when you're new.

01:28And last question for you, favorite memory from filming this movie, maybe a crazy experience,

01:33funny experience. What comes to mind?

01:36I mean, it was, it was funny to see the DP, the cinematographer, cause I've worked with

01:40him on music videos before. So just like seeing him on set, it was kind of like, dude, no

01:44way. So that was cool.

01:46A tween teen dance movie. Did you see that in your future?

01:51I did not. I did not. But Hey, I'm here for it. I'm excited.

01:54You're loving it right now.

01:55I'm loving it. I'm loving it.

01:57Well, thank you so much, Rhett. Congrats on the premiere.
