TFK Q & A: Sara Paxton

WHO: Sara Paxton, 17

CLAIM TO FAME: Sara plays Darcy on the television show Darcy's Wild Life.

Q Are you anything like your TV character?

A We're both very optimistic. She had to leave all of her friends and her home and start a new life. She decided to make the best of it. I'm the same way. If there's something in my way, I'm going to try to figure out how to get through it.

Q What's the hardest part of making the show?

A Probably the animals. They don't read the scripts or anything, so we have to work around them. We've been really lucky. They are usually very cooperative.

Q What do you enjoy most about working on Darcy's Wild Life??

A The whole cast gets along so well, and the animals are really fun. So it's more like going to summer camp than working.

Q What's next for you?

A I have an album coming out this winter.
