his fb page

Anyone interested can go like his facebook page. Believe it or not casting directors actually look into his social media to see how many "likes" he has.

And not of those, nor his parents, taught him how to say yes ma'am instead of yeah to his tv mother.

I'd like his facebook page, but that would be a little creepy on my part

Good luck to your son

did he want to do that or did you the parent choose that for him?

We chose to put him into acting classes to help bring him out from being shy. But he really enjoyed it and wanted to pursue it. We have told him if it's not something he wants to do he doesn't have to. Trust me he hates the "work part", memorizing lines and working scenes, but he loves being on set and meeting new people.

There are too many laws that keep his money, his money. Anything he makes now goes back into his career. He and my wife live in Cali for 3 months out of the year. Renting an apartment in Sherman Oaks (Close to Burbank and Studio City. Just north of LA proper) ain't cheap.

So I'm not understanding the too many laws. You make it sound like you wouldn't keep his money as his money on your own. That the law is keeping it his money. Seent it before, parents reap benefits if child and blow their money.

I made over a mill in 2013. I imagine he'd need around 100,000 of these commercials to catch up to me

man, that is excellent and must be very cool for a parent!...

about 15 years ago, a friend of mine had a boy who followed the same path...did real well in acting at a young age and frankly, let the attention turn him into a little toolbag...once he reached puberty, he no longer had "the look" that the industry was after and really kinda went to shite because of it... so be sure to keep him grounded and let him grow up as a normal kid...
