In this episode of When I Grow Up, Sienna interviews rising star Amie Donald, best known for her role as the demonic doll M3gan in the global box-office sensation of the same name and as Maya Monkey in Netflix’s popular series Sweet Tooth. 

Sienna, who dreams of becoming a child actor like Amie, dives into Amie’s experiences, challenges, and advice for young aspiring actors.

Episode Highlights Include:
Landing the Role of M3gan: Amie shares the audition process for the role of M3gan, how it transformed her life, and what it feels like to see the movie's worldwide success, including fans dressing as M3gan for Halloween!
Behind the Mask and the Viral Dance: Amie describes the challenges of filming in a restrictive latext mask as M3gan and how they created the iconic M3gan dance (which wasn’t originally in the script) that became a massive TikTok sensation.
Action on Sweet Tooth: Amie talks about doing her own stunts as Maya Monkey on Sweet Tooth and the incredible CGI effects that her character's tail can do!
Balancing Stardom with School: From learning lines to staying on top of schoolwork, Amie reveals what it's like to juggle the demands of being a child actor, her friends’ reactions, and not being nervous delivering lines on high-pressure international sets.

Join Sienna and Amie (and of course Sienna’s Dad Ben) for an inspiring conversation about the world of child acting and the excitement (and hard work!) that comes with it.

Like most teenagers, Sienna Boyce is still figuring out what she wants to be -  an actor, scientist, rugby player, singer, chef… maybe even a TikTok star. So, she’s teamed up with her Dad, Ben Boyce, to chat with incredible women from New Zealand and around the world who’ve built inspiring careers.

Each episode dives into their journeys - from humble beginnings to big achievements - and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. The goal? To give Sienna (and young people everywhere) the confidence to dream big and discover what’s possible.

And the best part? It proves that even the most successful people didn’t have it all figured out when they were young either!
