GLITTER: When did you first start acting?
CAMERON: I started acting around seven-years-old.

CAMERON: It was surreal… We all grew up on classic Disney movies so to be a part of that was really special for me.
GLITTER: What was it like working with Kenny Ortega?
CAMERON: Working with Kenny was unlike anything I’ve ever done. His combination of smarts and experience lead to amazing stories and lessons I will utilize throughout my career.
GLITTER: Are there any plans for a second Descendants movie?
CAMERON: I sure hope so, Descendants was the best job I’ve ever had. We had so much fun and I learned so much from so many different people. I talk to my cast mates all the time about the possibility, we all have our fingers crossed!
GLITTER: What other shows have you been on?
CAMERON: When I was younger I did General Hospital Night Shift. I made appearances on Good Luck, Charlie and Shake It Up. Jessie was the first show I did where I was a series regular.
GLITTER: What was it like to play Luke on Jessie? Will you miss being on that show?
CAMERON: It was a whirl wind! That’s when I was exposed to how to be a professional, how to act in public, the ins and outs of sitcom… I love everyone on that set so much, they’ll always be family.
GLITTER: What films have you been in as well?
CAMERON: My first was a horror movie called Mirrors, shot in Romania. Eagle Eye was next, that was an action movie with Shia LaBeouf. I also did Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 with Adam Sandler.
GLITTER: Who has been your favorite co-star?
CAMERON: There have been some great ones, Nadji Jeter and I were inseparable on the set of Grown Ups. I consider Karan Brar my brother after four years of memories on Jessie.
GLITTER: Do you consider dancing a passion as well?
CAMERON: Absolutely! That’s how I got into this crazy world. It doesn’t matter where I am or who I’m with, if I hear a good song, I start moving.
GLITTER: What is one thing your fans might not know about you?
CAMERON: I make the greatest guacamole known to man.
GLITTER: What is it like being a teen heartthrob?
CAMERON: I never considered myself a teen heartthrob, I’m just a normal kid who happens to be on a TV show! I’m still not used to all of the attention, but I’m slowly learning to embrace it.
GLITTER: If you could ask anyone dead or alive one question, who would you ask, what would you ask them, and why?
CAMERON: I would ask Gene Kelly what he did to become such a well-rounded performer. He could do it all.
GLITTER: What is your favorite thing to do on your downtime?
CAMERON: Play basketball! I spend two or three hours in my driveway almost every day shooting.
GLITTER: What is one thing you can’t live without?
CAMERON: I can’t live without my basketball and my hoop.
GLITTER: What is your definition of self-love?
CAMERON: Self-love is all about accepting who you are. Always trying to improve. Not worrying about what other people see as faults.
