At what age did you start acting?

CD: I started acting when I was six, in plays, but I knew I wanted to be in movies and TV shows. I asked my mom last year if she could help me become an actor. Thankfully, she said yes, and I booked my first job a month later as background on Scream 7! By the end of 2025, I had been in 15 projects.

My favorite vertical I’ve done is “Daddy, I’m Your Lucky Star!” Because I was the first child lead to ever be cast for “ReelShort!” I played Lila and it was a very fun character to play because she has superpowers.
