Actor Interviews, Disney Stars

How Jason Dolley Got Started in Acting

Jason Dolley’s Disney Channel resume is getting longer and longer. We first really met Jason when he starred as Newt in the Disney Channel series “Cory in the House”. We also saw him in the Disney Channel Original Movies Read It and Weep, Minutemen and Hatching Pete. Now he has another Disney Channel series about to stars called “Good Luck Charlie”.

Ultimate Disney interviewed Jason and asked him about how he got started, as well as his roles in the different Disney Channel projects.

UltimateDisney.com: How did you get started with acting?

Jason Dolley: I think I’ve always kind of been interested. When I was a kid, me and my brother would dress up in Halloween costumes on the weekends and stuff. We’d play dress up, like we’d become the people whose costumes we put on. So, I think that’s where I started acting, and then I just got involved with school plays, which sort of led to starting to audition.

What was the biggest challenge filming Hatching Pete?

Jason Dolley: The biggest challenge was a challenge but at the same time it was fun. The chicken suit was actually a bit of a… it was hard work. I really did have a good time in the chicken suit, but it was a chore. You had to put it on, and putting it on alone took probably fifteen minutes from start to finish. So that, and being in it and acting, and being alive and being big with your motions, ’cause you’ve got to move big when you’ve got the big old chicken suit on. It wasn’t easy, but it was fun.
