BCK: Can you tell us a little bit about your character in the upcoming series, Cousins for Life how are you guys similar and how are you guys different?

Dallas Dupree Young: My character Stuart is an entrepreneur. He is very innovative, he is creative, he is impulsive and he gets himself into sticky situations a lot but unintentionally. My character and I can relate because we both love video games, we both love our families, but I don’t exactly get into sticky situations all the time.

BCK: How was it working with you your cast members?

Dallas Dupree Young: I had an amazing time. They were always joking around, we were dancing dancing and that first episode was hilarious, there were so many animals and I personally love animals. I got to hang out with them. And an Alpaca actually peed on our rug.

BCK: When did you start acting?

Dallas Dupree Young: I started acting when I was nine-years-old. That’s when I got my first role in Murder Among Friends. 

BCK: Do you love acting? What do you do other than acting?

Dallas Dupree Young: Yes, I love acting. Acting is my passion. I want to do it for the rest of my life. I do do other things like sports. My favorite sports are baseball, basketball, and football.

BCK: Your father and brother are famous athletes. Did you want to pursue baseball instead of acting?

Dallas Dupree Young: Actually for a long time, I was practicing to be like my father and my brother because I wanted to play on the Colorado Rockies like they did, so I wanted to play baseball for a long time but then I realized that acting is definitely what I wanted to do.

BCK: If you had to have a dream role, what would that be?

Dallas Dupree Young: I would love to work with Denzel Washington. I would love to be his son.

BCK: Who else would you love to collaborate with?

Dallas Dupree Young: I would love to collaborate with Will Smith and Lebron James. It would be cool if Lebron James had a cameo on a movie, that would be fun.

BCK: How would you describe your acting style?

Dallas Dupree Young: My acting style would be exciting, adventurous, very smart, and a person who cares and loves their family.

BCK: What would you say the hardest thing about being an actor is?

Dallas Dupree Young: The hardest thing about being a child actor is learning the changes of the script every single day.

Dallas Dupree Young: I love playing video games, read books, and play basketball.

BCK: If you could talk to your 21-year-old self, what would you tell him to remember about the person that you are today?

Dallas Dupree Young: I would tell him to always stay humble, and to always love God and everyone around you. And I would also tell him to keep working hard, because you never know if you slip a little bit or stop working, God won’t give you any jobs anymore and that will just be the end of that.

BCK: Do you have any upcoming projects that we should look out for?
