To kick us off, we have our Q&A with Meredith Patterson held earlier in the fall over Twitter. Meredith played the role of Zach's casino assistant Francesca on All My Children last year. She has also appeared on numerous television shows, and had roles in many Broadway productions. Don't forget to follow her on Twitter and join her official Facebook Fanpage

1. Have you ever gotten a chance to meet the actors who played the Slater kids backstage?
Yes I did they were very sweet!


2. Do you think that working with children in any type of project adds a different element?
Of course. Kids are good energy.

3. Did you ever want to have scenes that involved more interaction with the Slater family?
Yes, I always hoped for that.

4. Have you ever gotten to meet any of the other kid cast members behind the scenes?
Yes, when they were on set. All were lovely.

5. Do you recall any funny moments involving kids in the biz, whether it be backstage at AMC or working on another project?
Sure! Kids are always funny!


6. Do you find there to be a difference in working with kids in television projects versus theatre?
Theatre kids tend to be more disciplined cause there's no stopping. ;)

7. What do you think is/would be the hardest thing about working with young children?
It hard to see them tired. They should just be kids.

8. Is there a child actor out there, whether from AMC or just in the industry you think would be really fun to work with?
Loved working with @RaquelCastro! She was the best!

9. You started performing at a young age, is there any advice you have for for young talent?
Your career is a marathon not a sprint.




We'd like to thank Meredith for participating in the Star-Kidz Holiday Q&A event this year!
