DA MAN: Hi, Skyler, glad to have you on board. So, tell us, what have you been busy with lately?
Skyler Shaye: Hey, great to be on board. As of right now, I have been busy filming a TV show called “Ray Donovan.”

DA: You’re set to appear in “Baby Geniuses and the Space Baby” later this year. What can you tell us about this movie?
SS: It’s definitely a fun adventure. It’s a great project for kids, with lots of action and plenty of great laughs.

DA: So far, you’ve been cast in four “Baby Geniuses” movies. How did your involvement with the series begin?
SS: It’s actually a pretty cool story. I was cast in the feature film “Baby Geniuses 2: Superbabies” when I was 15. Years later, they came to me with the idea of making a few additional installments of the franchise and for me to reprise my role.

DA: How about other movie projects? Are there any roles you’re considering at the moment?
SS: There are several in the works.

DA: If we’re not mistaken, you started acting when you were just eight years old. What was it like being a child actor at the time?
SS: It was great. Thankfully, I have a great family and they are very supportive.

DA: What was it like growing up with Jon Voight, your godfather? He was, and still is, considered a prominent actor.
SS: Jon is more like a father figure. He was at the hospital when I was born. He’s very supportive of all my decisions and me; he guides me through it all.

DA: Your own production company has been up and running for well over a decade now. What are some of the highlights of your career as a production boss?
SS: I still have yet to produce my first film. That will be next!

SS: I spend my time with friends. I always love a good adventure.

DA: One final question: What’s next for you? What are your dreams and goals for the coming years?
SS: My dreams and goals are to grow as a person and to keep doing what I am doing now.
