got into acting to make people “cry, laugh or

K n ow n fo r

Fresh Off the Boat

Chen’s first acting gig was in

the background of a Modern

Family scene in 2013. Two

years later, he landed a major

role on another ABC comedy,

Fresh Off the Boat — a “huge

blastoff” for his career, he

says, and a chance to be

mentored by co-stars Randall

Park and Constance Wu.

His broadcast hiatus allows

time for film roles; he flew to

Canada to shoot Shazam! just

two days after Fresh Off the

Boat wrapped its fifth season.

I’m dying to work with ...

not an actor, but he’s doing

pretty cool stuff.”

NETFLIX PHENOMS

just finished the Hollywood Bowl’s production

of Into the Woods (theater is “where my heart

is,” he says). McLaughlin, who teases that

he’ll be releasing music soon and is prepar-

ing for a film he can’t discuss, says his dream

role is Miles Morales. Schnapp also would

love to play Spidey, though for now he has

another Netflix gig lined up: a comedy with

Adam Sandler. “I’ve portrayed such a serious

character for the past three years, it will be

nice to break out of that mold,” he says. Sink

is in Atlanta filming the Fear Street trilogy,

which she describes as “cool and exciting

and new.” While Wolfhard can’t choose which

project he’s most excited about (they include

It: Chapter Two, The Goldfinch, The Addams

Family and Ghostbusters 2020), he calls Floria

Sigismondi’s film The Turning “scary as hell.”

My advice for adults Matarazzo: “Listen.

That’s for kids and adults. Kids always think

they’re right, and sometimes adults think kids

are always wrong.” Sink: “Take a chill pill.”
