1. At what age did you begin acting?

I started at age 4. My fist role was a Master Card commercial and it was one of the first auditions, so it was an encouraging start.


2. What inspired you to become an actress?

I was always singing and naturally outgoing and I loved meeting people. I was never shy, which was a really big plus. I enjoy pretending to be the different characters required for the parts I play


3. What was your favorite part of filming your Burger King commercials?

My favorite part of filming the Burger King commercials was going to California. It was fun flying to the west coast and going sight seeing. I saw and met lots of celebrities and famous Hollywood landmarks.


4. What was the hardest part of filming ABC's What Would You Do?

The hardest part of filming the "What Would You Do" episode was having to cry convincingly. At first, I had trouble to cry, even though I was really trying. Finally, I thought about the character I was playing, and how sad it would be to be in that position, and then the tears started.


5. What do you do to prepare for auditions?

Before I go on an audition, I make sure I understand as much as I can about the role and that I know the lines really well.


6. What are the differences between filming commercials and television shows?

The difference between TV shows and commercials is that in commercials you see them more often, but with TV shows there has to be re-runs of the episode, which isn't too common. But filming wise, there is really no difference between them.


7. What was your favorite part of getting to meet Paula Abdul?

The best thing about meeting Paula Abdul was that she gave me a big hug and spoke to me really sweetly. She was really nice and seemed interested in what I had to say. Eva Longoria was very nice, also.


8. Who within the industry would you love to get a chance to work with?

I would love to work with Zac Efron. I really like him; he's super cute and a great actor.


9. What has been your favorite project to do so far?

My favorite project was the Burger King commercials because they were so much fun and I enjoyed working with my repeated commercial "family". The commercials got a got a lot of air play and my friends really liked seeing them. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to work with Michael Bay, who directed one of the commercials, and sitting in Optimus Prime from Transformers. When I was younger, I enjoyed working with Elmo from Sesame Street and taping a Kraft American Singles commercial, because I got to eat a lot of cheese sandwiches, lol.


10. What advice do you have for young girls your age looking to act?

The advice I would give to girls is that, even though there may be a at least 50 girls auditioning for one part each time,don't get discouraged and try your best. You can't get every part you try out for but keep trying anyway. The experience alone is worth it!

Finally, I'd like to add that the most important asset for a young girl or boy who wants to get into acting, is the support from your family. My parents always encourage and support me and my mom never complains about taking me to auditions, and is always proud of me, as long as I do my best.


Thank-you so much to the Hanos family for participating in our November Q&A series!!
