Check out the interview below.\n<p><strong>Hi, Finn! Thank you for granting the interview.Congrats on your role as Jack in the hit Netflix series \u201cAlexa & Katie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi, Thank you! I\u2019m so happy to be here!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You play Jack, Katie\u2019s little brother. Tell us about Jack. Who is he? What is his personality like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jack is a lot like me. He is always ready for an adventure and has lots of energy. And occasionally gets into a bit of trouble with Alexa and Katie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the character of Jack support Katie in the series?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jack is a typical little brother. He loves his sister and helps her out when she needs him to \u201cnot tell mom\u201d but there\u2019s usually a price to pay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it a challenge to play a character whose sister\u2019s best friend is diagnosed with cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the most part, Jack is just himself around Alexa and I think that\u2019s how Alexa wants everyone to be. She doesn\u2019t like it when people treat her differently because of her illness. There is a scene in Season One between Alexa and Jack that addresses some questions he had about cancer. Alexa is honest and welcomes his curiosity. I loved doing that scene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editorial Note:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/occhi.press\/2019CancerStatistics\">Facts & Figures 2019: US Cancer Death Rate has Dropped 27% in 25 Years<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>I recently came across a camp called Camp Kesem that Syracuse University has launched for children whose parent(s) is diagnosed with cancer. You can learn more here. Many have overlooked how a cancer diagnosis can affect children. What are your thoughts on this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That sounds like a wonderful camp. I hope it helps families going through a difficult time and gives children a place to express their feelings and concerns.<\/p>\n<p>[su_youtube url=\u201dhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1uxn5iMoXKc\u201d]<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get the role of Jack?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I auditioned for the role on tape first. Then I went in person. I got a callback not too long after and then had a producer meeting. The last step was the network screen test. It was so much fun and that\u2019s where I met Paris, Isabel, and Emery for the first time! I got the call from my agent and manager that I booked the role pretty soon after\u2026 it was the Best Day Ever!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The subject matter of the series is heartfelt. How does the second season\u2019s production bring something new to the story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are some awesome new storylines and lots of twists and turns! You might find yourself needing a tissue one minute and then cracking up the next\u2026 the writers are amazing!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13586\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13586\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/occhimagazine.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Finn-Carr3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13586\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/occhimagazine.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Finn-Carr3.jpg?resize=450%2C675&ssl=1\" alt=\"Finn Carr\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/occhimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Finn-Carr3.jpg?w=667&ssl=1 667w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/occhimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Finn-Carr3.jpg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Nikki Carr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What is going to surprise people about Jack?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh, Jack has plenty up his sleeve.
