KZ: Hi Chase! Which spirit from the movie do you think would be the most fun to be joined at the hip with?

C: Being joined at the hip with most of the squatters would be a little risky, but I think I would choose the ones that were after the bullies so that we could put an end to that practice.

KZ: Did you take anything from the set after filming wrapped?

C: The crew sent us away from the set with some of the most awesome memories that I will never forget. I relive some of these daily with my mum and dad who were also present.  But the two things that I will keep with me forever, is the classic polaroid camera and behind the scenes photos from Justin Simien.

KZ: If you were a spirit for a day and could pick anyone’s home to haunt for fun, who would you pick and what would you do?

C: I would pick my good friend Caleb McLaughlin. It probably wouldn’t be too hard to rattle his cage a little, given his experience with Stranger Things. I would pick some of the spookiest things that happened to him during his show, and then let him know afterwards that it was a prank.

KZ: We love a good prank! What do you like to do in your spare time?

C: I love acting, traveling and meeting new people. In my spare time, I love gaming, reading, basketball and golf.

KZ: What advice would you give K-Zoners who are interested in acting professionally? 

C: My advice would be to create a tribe of people to support you. Parents will be there no matter what, but the people around you create the motivation to push harder and achieve more. Find yourself a good coach to get you started, and a good online presence, and just have fun. Never get discouraged because of roles you don’t get, but just as eager to pursue more that best fits who you are and the kind of person you want the world to know.
