When Sam & Cat was placed on hiatus and ultimately canceled after just one season in 2014, fans weren't sure if a rift between the Nickelodeon stars was to blame. It’s okay if it’s hard.Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy were co-stars on Nickelodeon's short-lived hit show Sam & Cat, a spinoff of their respective hit shows, Victorious and iCarly. If you haven’t found something that you love and are good at yet-keep looking and keep practicing. Watching him do something new, have the courage to learn it in front of people, and have fun while he does has been really inspiring to me.ĭo you have any words of wisdom you’d like to share with our YAYOMG! readers? But he has gotten better and better each week.
He is also on Dancing with the Stars this season and he has really inspired me with his perseverance and hard work! It’s hard to do something new in front of people and get criticized.
REECE: I have been really inspired by Kel Mitchell, an original All That cast member and one of our executive producers. Who is someone that has inspired you recently? (Photo Credit: Russell Baer) Name three things you can’t live without? I loved the subway system there and that kids would ride it by themselves - it’s so safe and organized! It was cool to see that even though some things are very different around the world (like that kids clean their own classrooms in Japan), people really are the same and want the same things in life. REECE: I was actually living in Tokyo when I booked All That! I got to travel back and forth between Los Angeles and Tokyo this year and it was so cool to get to spend time in a different part of the world. We saw on Instagram that you’ve spent the majority of the past year living in Tokyo. I practice jokes and try different ways to make things funny in my bathroom mirror all the time. Take comedy classes, study movies and shows, and write your own material. If you want to get into comedy, you just have to start! Don’t let anyone tell you are too much or not funny. REECE: If you are a girl who wants to get into comedy-do it! We need more funny people in this world! Be brave and be yourself. What advice would you share with other girls looking to get into comedy? REECE: I am a huge fan of Henry Danger (this season is SO GOOD!) and have loved Avatar: The Last Airbender ever since I was little. REECE: I’d love to have Liza Koshy on the show! She is HILARIOUS! The cast got to meet her a few months ago and she said she was a big fan of the show! Wouldn’t it be great to see some of her characters on All That?Ī post shared by Reece Caddell on at 8:03pm PDT What are some of your favorite Nickelodeon shows? Who is a guest star you’d love to see on a future episode of All That? We did the first sketch together and it was amazing to get to work with her on it! REECE: I had seen some of her sketches from the original show and they were so funny! They didn’t tell me I was going to take it over until we got the script and I was like, oh my gosh! I was nervous at first because fans of the show really loved Lori Beth in that role and she was so good! But she sat down with me and she encouraged me to just play the role as myself and really gave me the courage to do it my own way. You were lucky enough to take over the iconic Vital Information skit from legacy cast member Lori Beth Denberg. I have the video on my Instagram and you can see my head pop up when I hear the call! I was just SO HAPPY to get to be part of such a fun show and couldn’t believe I would get to do it with six funny, amazing kids! The process for auditioning for All That was pretty intense, but I worked really hard and I knew I had done the best I could. REECE CADDELL: It was really hard to get my brain around, honestly! I have been acting since I was 4 or 5 and I knew that I was really starting to make progress in my career because of the good auditions I was getting and the bigger roles I was booking.
