GLITTER: How is it acting on Max & Shred?

EMILIA: Acting on Max & Shred has been the most upbeat and high-energy experiences of my life.  But all together with the multi-cam comedy environment and all the crazy awesome people from the cast and crew, it makes it one of my favorite environments to be in.

GLITTER: Who do you play?

EMILIA: I play Abby Ackerman, Shred’s older sister. She is the love advisor and philanthropist who is always available to help. She has a big heart and a sarcastic mouth, which is so fun to play. Abby is definitely one of my favorite characters I’ve played so far.

GLITTER: What other movies and TV shows have you been on?

EMILIA: Most recently I played mean girl Taylor Dean on Disney Channel’s Zapped, another one of my all-time fave characters. I’ve also been on things like Hemlock Grove and Babel, which were great experiences of a different type of production. Breaking out from comedy and experiencing other genres as an actor is always cool.

GLITTER: Do you have any celebrity crushes?

EMILIA: Liam Hemsworth and Dylan O’brien, no doubt.

GLITTER: Is there something about you fans would be surprised to know?

EMILIA: A lot of people would never think I’m Mexican and speak Spanish because of my blondness, but my mom is from Mexico and I’m a proud Latina!

GLITTER: Best advice you were ever given?

EMILIA: “Hope for the best, expect the worst.”

GLITTER: What would be a dream role for you?

EMILIA: A dream role for me would be one where I would be recognized as an individual, a unique identity separate from all the other blonde haired 17-year-old girl actresses; one where I could be respected as an actor with real talent and passion behind the art.

GLITTER: Is there someone you’d like to work with that you haven’t worked with already?

EMILIA: I would love to work with Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling! They’re both from my hometown of London, Ontario, Canada and they were both in their breakout role together. I want to continue the small world and work with them as well!

GLITTER: What projects are you working on next?

EMILIA: At the end of April I’m starting up the second season of Max & Shred, so stay tuned for new and even better episodes!

GLITTER: What is your definition of self-love?

EMILIA: Self-love for me is knowing I am being the best me I can be, and accepting it and being happy with it.
