- Proud to Be a Power of Youth Honoree [ 1 comment]
- October 20, 2011
On Saturday on the back lot of Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, I will be one of seven young actors honored by Variety Magazine at their annual “Power of Youth” event. Every year Variety acknowledges young entertainers and the charities that are important to them. It’s a huge block party at Paramount studios with live performances, games and food. Each honoree got to choose a charity to support for the event and I have chosen to highlight the work of Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign because I believe that every child in our country should have access to nutritious food.
