I N T E R V I E W ANNA HARR Child Actor by Joseph D. Becker Photos provided Anna: Well, when I was younger, I always wanted to be like, you know, famous, when I was just like a little baby. And I did all this dancing and eventually my sister got into it, and she's like oh you said oh you should go out for this commercial even though you don't act, just try it.  And so I went out there, my very first audition, 30 minutes later, I got the job. AZFM: Can you tell us about some of the projects that you've worked on? Anna: I've been on shake it up, the Disney channel series, I was the dancer on that.   I've done stuff for E, I was on the Soup with Abby Lee Miller, I've done work with Michael Kirchhoff, I did a Cardon Children's Medical Center video, and I did a lovely afternoon. And in a few weeks, I'm going to be filming a little series called, Lady Killers and I'm really excited for that. And this January, I'm going to be shooting a movie called bedroom stories with Perry Tao AZFM: Anna, what was your most enjoyable acting experience so far? Anna: That is a toughie, all the sets that I have been on have been really fun, but I think the, like best thing I've ever been on, I'm not going to say the best but like my most fun experience I've ever been on is probably shake it up, because that is like my favorite Disney Channel show.  And I got to see where they shot all the scenes and stuff, I got to see the whole set which was really cool and I got to dance, so it was fun. AZFM: Do you have any advice for other children who want to get into acting? Anna: Yea, just be yourself, go in there, just be yourself because they want you they don't want anybody else, they just want you. AZFM: We understand your parents are very supportive of your career, but a lot of children are pushed into acting by their parents.  Is this something that you wanted to do? Anna: I wanted to do it myself, and they're like ok, we'll bring you out there, but overall they're very supportive. My mommy and daddy they do a lot for me, and I'm very grateful.
