Aalyrah Caldwell from Uncle Buck Q&A

Aalyrah Caldwell is the cute Maizy Russell in the 2016 ABC spin-off Uncle Buck!

With only being 8 years old, she made us laugh as Maizy; talks about younger generations being enough & fun behind the scenes with the cast of Uncle Buck:

Here a few questions we made to Aalyrah Caldwell:

1.- What is something about yourself that nobody would know?

I have braces.

2.- What has been your favorite moment about being a part of a comedy TV show like ‘Uncle Buck’?

I really enjoyed meeting all the incredible actors. I learned so much from them.

3.- What was the funniest moment you remember with your co-stars onset of ‘Uncle Buck’?

After shooting a final take on a scene, Mike stayed in character and began reprimanding me, Iman, and Sayeed as if he was our real uncle. It was very funny – but a little scary too.

4.- What can we expect in the pilot episode of ‘Uncle Buck’?

You can expect to see a new twist of a funny story about a modern day family with lots of challenges.

5.- Tell us an embarrassing story you are ready to share with the world:

Once, in between filming, I wanted to prank my mom. So I went to my trailer and hid in the wardrobe closest. My mom couldn’t find me and got the entire production crew to look for me. 

I hid only for a few minutes – but I was embarrassed because everyone was freaking out!

6.- What is the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do?

Homeschool was the hardest thing I’ve had to do because I missed my friends. It was also difficult not getting sidetracked while at home; it was easy to forget that it was school-time.

7.- What upcoming projects are you currently working on?

I am working on a project that is still in development so I can’t say much about it other than kids will love it. I also recently finished a week-long commercial shoot for American Family Insurance. I played an astronaut on Mars! Besides that, I am on hiatus, looking forward to summer vacation and hope to film Season 2 of Uncle Buck. 

8.- Who would be your dream guest star on ‘Uncle Buck’ and why?

I would want to work with Jace Norman because I like his show. He’s very funny and from what I’ve seen about him behind the scenes, he has a nice personality.

9.- If you weren’t on ‘Uncle Buck’ would you like to be on a Disney Channel or Nickelodeon show? Which one would it be?

I would want to be on the Disney Channel, the Best Friends Whenever show. 

10.- Describe your on-screen parents from ‘Uncle Buck’ in 5 words:

They are protective, joyful, helpful, smart, and caring.

11.- Show us your favorite photo you have taken in the past week that we haven’t yet seen:

12.- What is the best advice you’ve been given and from whom?

I’d have to say my parents have given me the best advice. My mother always reminds me to “stay positive and to dream big.” My dad always says to “treat people with kindness.”

13.- What has been your favorite scene to film in ‘Uncle Buck’?

In episode 3, I drove a pink Barbie Cadillac to distribute Girl Scout cookies to my “selling crew.” It was sooo fun…I want one!

The Gossip Hot List Question:

What would you like to leave behind to younger generations? 

I would like younger generations to know that they are good enough to learn anything, become anything and to be themselves even when people try to judge them.
