Welcome to the Carter’s Crew: in The Spotlight!
In this section we'll spotlight a cast member and get to know a little more about them.
Our first cast member we're chatting with is Chase McCaskill who plays the tough-talkin' K.C.
CS: So how are you doing today Chase?
CM: Doin' well, thanks!
CS: The audience has read a little about your character in the Crew: Character Run
Down section. Can you tell us something else about your character that we may not know?
CM: Well, something you may not know is that K.C.'s parents are divorced and he comes from a rough background. There's a lot of drama going on between him and his parents, especially his dad!
CS: So let's get your take on your character. What makes you connect with K.C.?
What makes him interesting to play?
CM: One good thing about K.C is that he is very adventurous. He doesn't let
people or situations limit him, you know? He'll just go for it! So l think that side of him
is cool. Another thing I think is interesting is that he does have a deep side to his character, there's more to him than what you see, he's just not the shallow bad guy for no reason. In the series, the audience will definitely get a chance to see that.
K.C. , deep down inside really wrestles with the idea of God and of course he never lets anyone know it.
There's a deep loneliness to him (in so many ways) and I think that's one reason why he acts so tough and will double cross you in a heartbeat--he doesn't want to get hurt.
CS: WOW! K.C. is definitely going to be a cool character to watch! okay, lets go to the production side of things. Things are really starting to grow with Carter’s Crew, with our web page and also our pages on Tangle and the webisode series is going into production soon. How do you feel about all of that? What do you think about the fact that people are being introduced to you all over the world because of the internet?
CM: I think it’s awesome. Everyone wants to be or likes to be known for something that they're involved in like a sport or whatever, but I think
it’s great to be part of something good, something that has a positive spiritual influence on people's lives. For me it goes way beyond the chance of people knowing my name; we're planting seeds that may help someone down the line and that's awesome all by itself!
CS: Speaking of the webisodes—the production for the webseries means early mornings and long hours does that bother you at all?
CM: No, not really it’s routine for me. I have to get up early for school, and I'm also used to a busy schedule and studying in the mix of everything. But I know it will also take a lot of perseverance... and Red Bull (sports drink). But anytime you get to do something new, especially something that you were hand picked for, it really makes it all exciting. Oh and I'm looking forward to doing all of the on-camera stuff!
.
CS: All right Chase, give us the run down on your cast mates! What are they like? CS: What month is your birthday? OCTOBER CS: What’s your favorite color? MAROON CS: What’s your favorite sport –if you have one. SOCCER All right now for a little one on one!.
CM: Well, Josh is a real down to earth guy. Whenever we have interviews or anything on camera he's really great at getting the ball rolling and getting things started. He does well with all of the camera stuff!
Lauren, oh man, she’s fun and really easy to talk to. If there's something going on at school that you tell her about she'll really listen. So she's great to have around! Bethany, what can I say about Bethany (smile) I’ve grown up with her practically. Hmm, let's see, I will say she’s very fashionable just like her character Cassandra. If I ever need to know what time the mall closes, I call her because she would definitely know! Mandy is the quieter one of the group but not to where you can’t talk to her or anything. As a matter of fact, she ‘s very open and easy to talk to. I think that's a great quality that she has and she really balances out the group.
CS: Let's get more info on you Chase, here we go:
CS: What’s your favorite food? Chicken fried steak-with gravy and mash potatoes! Yummm
CS: If you could play another character in the series who would that be? TOMMY
CS: Before we go Chase, tell us how has your relationship with the Lord affected your life?
CM: It’s helped me in the way I act towards other people and helps me, personally, stay on track. You think about things from the standpoint of what God thinks about what you're doing. For example, I know that people get pressured into trying drugs and its times like those when you think about what God means to you, how he really loves you and wants you to have a good life... and that he's watching you. I know that my life and body is a gift from him. Also knowing all of that also gives me confidence too, because I know that I'm not alone, even in the rough times, and I can go against the crowd and be who God made me to be!
