Hello Dakota, hope you are doing well! How are you spending your days during the quarantine?
The good thing about being quarantined is that I have more time to practice my guitar and play music! I also love to watch movies with my mom and cook with her!

There is no real challenge in the show! It is so much fun to film and we have a blast on set!
What’s the funniest behind-the-scenes moment you’ve experienced there so far?
Every Tuesday is a theme day on set! We had a day that was Twin themed and I and my stand-in came to set in the same outfit! It was so funny!

Biggest pet peeve?
My biggest pet peeve is when someone is on their phone while you are hanging out with them.

If you could pass a law everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
A law that would pass out that everyone would have to follow would be to not drink, eat, or contain items in plastic!
