Welcome to YoungHollywood. com.
Hey there, Young Hollywood.
I'm Tatiana Diana.
We are on the set of True Jackson VP.
I like your outfit.
I was complimenting you on your shoes.
You get to keep these amazing outfits?
Sometimes I do.
You know, Allison who's the wardrobe stylist for the show?
She's awesome and she's always like keeping things on my closet for me once the episode's like finished and done.
If I want something, I'm like, let me get that jacket for real.
And she'll give it to me.
So Young Hollywood's been here before.
We love you guys.
The best makeup artist ever.
And she does a makeup.
She made me look like this today.
She made me look pretty.
Usually I come in here looking like the crypt keeper.
You're going to be me and I'll be people coming in to see me.
Hey guys.
What's different today on set that we didn't get to touch last time?
Well, we have a fun guest, Fefe Dobson, who's an amazing singer.
Um she's kind of rock pop.
Um she's awesome.
We have performing downstairs.
Um you know, part of the episode.
So it's a very exciting, fun day.
I'm going to go and make you mine.
And the bells will ring and the children sing.
Cuz we're going to be all mine.
And the people dance and they clap their hands.
Just to see what we could be.
Today you performed for True Jackson VP.
Tell me how that was.
It was amazing.
First of all Keke is, you know, unbelievable and she's such a sweet girl.
So it was cool to see her again cuz I've known her for a while.
So it was really nice to hang out with her and see her doing her thing.
But also the whole crew was amazing.
The cast and the writers and it was fun.
It was a lot of fun.
Are you a Fefe Dobson fan?
I am now.
I mean, I knew her music, but, you know, meeting her in person and watching her live.
I mean all of her dance moves, really, really exciting.
So tell us a little bit about your character on the show.
Well, Amanda is very misunderstood a lot of times because um you see it's difficult, I think, for her to give space to a 15-year-old girl who has this amazing talent and ability to always get things right.
You know, Amanda is always trying so hard for the approval of everybody.
And a lot of times, well, she'll end up with crazy hair on her head or falling through um elevator shafts or all sorts of crazy things that can happen.
So you're a little bit crazy on the show.
Does that is your real personality anything like your character on the show?
No, actually, I'm very calm in real life.
I'm very um uh Excuse me.
What's going on?
Oh, this.
What up, Kate?
Um now, I'm very calm in real life and she's very unfocused and I'm very, very determined and focused in real life.
So tell us a little bit about your character.
Uh I play Jimmy.
I'm a rock star.
That's pretty much it.
I'm also the mailboy at the company, even though my uncle owns it, which doesn't make any sense.
Is it hard to switch off the I'm a rock star when you're in real real world?
No, cuz I'm a rock star in real life, too.
Tell us a little bit about when you first got the role for this show.
Was this your first big break?
Um kind of.
I I did a couple things in Toronto.
I'm from Toronto, born and raised in Canada.
And uh I was on a Disney show for a little while called Life with Derek.
So I went in, screen tested with Keke, and she actually recognized me from Life with Derek, which is the best thing ever.
If you're in a room and the lead girl in the show is like, you're from Life with Derek.
You played Max.
And she comes over and gives you a hug, you're like, yes.
You're in.
Thank you.
So uh that made the whole experience a lot easier.
And uh then they made me a series regular for season 2.
So I'm having a blast.
Hey, what's up?
