Her first acting gig was on one of CBS’ most-watched shows.

My first professional acting job was an episode I did with Shemar Moore on Criminal Minds. I played his daughter in a flash-forward scene.

She knows first-hand what it’s like to be the youngest sibling like Annie…

I love being the youngest [on the show] because in real life I’m the youngest in my family.

…But she thinks she’s got more in common with her Shazam character Darla Dudley than with Annie.

I’m more like Darla. We both talk a lot, we love our family, and we are the youngest, so I really got to bring Darla to life in this movie.

Her favorite superhero character is also from the DC universe, like Darla.

My favorite superhero is Wonder Woman. I love how sweet and caring she is. And the movie was so amazing, like her weapons and how she fights.

Her role model also had a breakout role playing a young daughter on a hit family TV series.

One of my role models is Yara Shahidi. I like how she goes to college and is still able to work. I wanna do that when I’m older because I love what I’m doing and I really love school and seeing my friends and hanging out with them. Plus, I really like Yara’s outfits and personal style, too.
