Daniel S

What role does imagination play in your life?

Well, I feel like it’s important because I want to become an actor.

Do you want to be on Broadway?

I would consider it. Mainly I want to be on a tv show: The Flash.

Why do you want to become an actor?

I feel like acting has this sort of like way that you do stuff that people in real life can’t do and you portray and act like your character.

Do you feel like family or friends have influenced your life decisions of what you want to be or what you want to do?

Yes, because my Dad is a police and I also want to become a forensic scientist.

What is a forensic scientist?

It’s kind of like a scientist who works with fingerprints, hydrogen peroxide and stuff like that.

How will you balance being an actor and a forensic scientist?

Well, every actor has a personal life and an acting life.  So, I would do forensics in my personal life and in my acting life I would go on the Flash.

Would you like it if your character on TV was a forensic scientist?

Well, that would be nice. But the character I want to portray is kind of like a forensic scientist’s son.  Bart Allen, Barry Allen’s son.

If you were to be on a TV show, would you want to be an antagonist or a protagonist?

I’d want to be a protagonist because I feel like protagonists have a good flow, a good vibe.

What kind of a flow do you have as a person?

Well, it kind of depends on what kind of a mood I feel. When I feel sad, I create a sad vibe around me. When I’m happy I try to create a happy vibe around me.

At what moment in your life did you first know that you wanted to be an actor and a forensic scientist?

Well, I was sitting on my couch and I was watching The Flash and I thought “How cool would it be if I could go on the show!?”  And my Dad has a lot of friends who are forensic scientists so I kind of got influenced from them.

What wisdom can you offer kids coming into 6th grade?

I think I could offer ideas to change the school a little bit such as a support system to prevent a lot of bad things from happening.
