Ben Schwartz (Randy Cunningham)
What was the first thing you did when you found out you had the part in Randy Cunningham? Hag age 8
Thanks for asking Hag. I jumped up and down and said Whooo! I was so excited because I was such a fan of cartoons growing up, so getting to be part of a Disney show is so exciting!
What would you do if you were a real ninja? Con age 5
If I were a real ninja I’d finally be strong enough to do some pull ups and maybe jump over a building. I would disappear whenever I wanted to, and do lots more amazing things.
What inspires you to play a Ninja? Hag age 8
All the cartoons that I watched growing up and superheroes in comic books – I loved them so much and I wanted to bring that to the forefront, so I got to be a superhero myself.
If you could play any other famous film Ninja today , who would you be and why? Hag age 8
The Karate Kid – I love that movie, it’s so fun.
Andrew Caldwell (Howard Weinerman)
What was the first thing you did when you found out you had the part in Randy Cunningham? Hag age 8
I did a little song and dance, I was very jazzed up about it for multiple reasons. I knew from day one this was a very special project – I didn’t know why I knew, but I did. I found out we have a very multi-cultural production team – people write it and we do the voices in LA, we send it to London to get notes and then it goes to Ireland for animation, so its a project with three different countries involving people who are so good at what they do. They’re creative and care so much about this – I knew it was going to be something amazing.
Do you enjoy being on the show? Con age 5
I love being on the show! It’s my favourite! I work on a lot of different things but when I get the call to come in and record Randy Cunningham, it’s the most exciting day. It’s so much fun working with Ben and with our creators. Playing Howard is a lot of fun too, I love it.
Who is your real life best friend? Hag age 8
My real life best friends are Deric Mcgee – he’s my partner in crime- and Mason Musso – the lead singer of the band Metro Station. Deric is always there for me – everywhere I go, he goes. He’s a great friend and he’s loyal. Mason is my best friend because I’ve known him a long time and we both came up in this business together at the same time; he was in music and I was in acting – we really identify with each other. We’ve also got a lot of respect for each other – that’s important in friendship.
Do you think Howard wants to be a ninja? Con age 5
I think he’d love to be a ninja, but now he’s seen Randy be the Ninja, I don’t know if he could handle the responsibility of it and is more annoyed about it than he thought he would be. In his mind, it was going to be fun with lots of jumping around, and he didn’t realise the responsibility. If he was the ninja, I think he’d do it differently.
Do you like ham? Con age 5
Yes, I love ham!
