What was your first acting experience?
My older brother and I were home schooled from fourth grade to seventh grade and we started making videos. But as far as professional acting experience? My mom produced this recycling video when I was eleven and I was in that. I don’t think I even got paid.
Did you ever have a normal job?
I worked at two different pizza places in Cincinnati. I got fired from both. I also worked at American Apparel in LA for like a year. I got fired from there, too. I dressed up as an ice cream cone and walked around a mall for Haagen-Dazs. That was only for one day, though.
Describe your ideal Sundance selfie.
A photo that somebody else takes of me. I don’t like selfies. My Instagram rule is that I can only post one photo of me out of every five photos.
What’s more important to you: Staying warm or looking stylish?
A combination of both. I don’t want to roll up looking like the Michelin Man covered in an enormous snow jumper. I don’t dress up often, but I also don’t dress down.
What do you think of Robert Redford?
He’s cool, man. I got to meet him the last time at a brunch for directors. He seemed like a nice dude. I mean, as far as my two minutes talking with him. He is a movie icon; he didn’t need to start a film festival. He could just be chilling.
