Ryan Newman, Zeke and Luther
BY Lucia TranPublished: October 29, 2009
Little Miss Ryan Newman, in her black Kaiya Eve tank top and skirt, is the cute and delightful star of Disney XD's Zeke and Luther. It is a original Disney show about best friends who strive to become the world's best skateboarders. Newman is Ginger Thatcher, an audacious character who is Zeke's younger sister.
Growing up, Newman was a working model but ultimately chose to focus on acting. She has been in various films throughout her lifetime. From Steven Speilberg's "Monster House" to the children's action film, "Zoom."
Now filming season two of Zeke and Luther in which was just released this year, her experience has been completely "amazing." Upon her cast, she says "there's a huge age difference but they never make fun of how young I am."
As any average 11-year-old, Newman loves watching "Hannah Montana," and "Wizards of Waverley Place." Though still young be watching "Glee," she definitely loves the Disney Channel shows.
Though Newman has already worked with big-named actors like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kevin James, Tim Allen, and even Courtney Cox, she hopes to work with Anne Hathaway and Kristen Stewart some time in the future, and yes - she is a Twilight fan. "I love love love the books!" She has read up to, "New Moon" and is not yet allowed to read any further.
This Halloween, she is portraying "Minnie Mouse," of which the costume was her mother's. As a tradition for Halloween, she goes "trick-or-treating" and her family has "dinner outside" as what her neighborhood often does. In the spirit of Halloween, we questioned whether Newman would star in any horror, but she would rather star in a drama in hopes of a character that has all three of her capabilities: "singing, acting, and dancing."
This young starlet will continuing shining as the year ends, but by 2010, we're expecting to see more of Newman everywhere. So "keep watching Zeke and Luther!"
