Like many local kids, 9-year-old Dylan Russett will be traveling to southern California this summer, looking forward to a trip to Universal Studios and the Hollywood Wax Museum.
Unlike most kids, though, Dylan will also have an opportunity to become a household name when he auditions for TV shows on Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel, a new show starring Reba McEntire and a feature film or two.
Dylan and his mother are leaving for a two month adventure — and a calculated risk — on Wednesday, July 18.
“You’ve got to take chances. You’ve got to go for it and do your best,” Dylan’s mom, Maree Russett said.
Dylan said acting makes him feel happy and excited.
