Kevin Schmidt Interview - July 17, 2006
Juan Guerra: How did the "Princess Protection Program" come about? And who do you play?
Kevin Schmidt: It came about like every Disney audition I've had over the years. A stressful wait on the 21st floor of the Disney Channel Building haha! I play "Bull" a popular kid who thinks he makes high school cool. My job is to put Demi and Selena through the "haze". Juan Guerra: What do you look for when looking for roles? Kevin Schmidt: A character arc! A reason I'm supposed to be in the story. So many roles have zero substance, if there's no ability for me to get into a characters skin - I tend to shy away. Juan Guerra: You're also in "The Alyson Stone Project." How's that coming along? Kevin Schmidt: I'm in front of, and behind the lens on the "ASP". It's my baby. Directorial Debut. I'm excited to get it released and work on more! Juan Guerra: Having a youtube channel, is it another outlet for you to express yourself as an actor or to interact with fans? Are you ever afraid that what you post on youtube can affect your acting opportunaties? Kevin Schmidt: I'm a real person. I make mistakes, I've broken laws... I'll never claim to be perfect. Even sane! The YOUTUBE Channel gives me the chance to express myself how I choose to. No strings attached. Juan Guerra: Has the entire process of becoming an actor and getting work been hard? Kevin Schmidt: It's a viscous cycle actors put themselves through time and time again. Pour yourself into a role and get rejected. Of course it's hard, anything worthwhile is. That whats makes you appreciate everything along the way. Juan Guerra: What helps you keep striving to reach your goals in life? Kevin Schmidt: The subtle rewards that show themselves along the way...
Kevin Schmidt: I wanted to make a change. I never felt like a chubby kid. I love being active, I was quite the diversified athlete as a kid but I couldn't seem to keep weight off. I decided to change what I was doing and put myself on a schedule. The food I eat tastes better, my body feels great - I feel amazing! What other motivation do you need? Juan Guerra: Has losing weight helped you obtain more roles? Kevin Schmidt: It's been about the same. I wanted those leading roles when I was heavier, I felt like I understood the scenes and moments... but I was kept from them. I love the new challenges I'm handed in the roles I go out for now. Juan Guerra: What was the biggest rejection you’ve faced in your career? How did you surpass it? Kevin Schmidt: It's been about the same. I wanted those leading roles when I was heavier, I felt like I understood the scenes and moments... but I was kept from them. I love the new challenges I'm handed in the roles I go out for now. Juan Guerra: What advice would you give other struggling actors? Kevin Schmidt: Stay positive and keep at it. Know that passion will always succeed.
