Interview with Actor Mikey Reid

From , former About.com Guide

Michael "Mikey" Reid is a seventeen-year-old star who currently plays the role of Sinjin on Nicklodeon's hit TV show Victorious. I had the opportunity to ask him some questions about his fashion sense and future goals - and his answers were hilarious. Here is my interview with actor Mikey Reid:

How would you describe your fashion style?

Mikey: I'd describe my wardrobe as a sort of casual rock star's colorful collection of wacky prints. I like to even have sort of a D-I-Y tone to some of my clothes...like the time I sewed very colorful buttons from an art store onto a pair of black skinny jeans. Innovation!

Where's your favorite place to shop?

Of all the stores I shop in, I'd say Urban Outfitters is my favorite.

How do you get ready for a big event?

Well, I start off with tea and meditation. Then I just make myself look good and head on out! When I'm out of ideas, I have default clothes to fall back on: An awesome peacoat sort of jacket that I call my "classy man jacket" and shoes I refer to as "those sweet dance shoes."

What sort of fashion style do you like on girls?

I like girls with either an eccentric style or a very retro kind of classy look. Think Helena Bonham Carter in any movie she's been in (excluding "Alice in Wonderland") or Carey Mulligan in "An Education."

What can we look forward to from you career-wise in the future?

Well, you never know really. Keep a look out for me on Victorious on Nickelodeon and follow me on Twitter at Twitter.com/MrMikeyReid to keep track! What I can promise is a lot of comedy! Or drama. If I'm being dramatic. But the good kind of drama. Like the Greek theatrical kind, not the "She said WHAT?!" kind.

Do you have any advice for teens on how to follow in your career path?

As a young kid, it was always hard to decide what I wanted to do. We young people are very fickle, in my opinion. But I realized that life is like that little pink sampling spoon at Baskin Robbins. You gotta try all the different flavors before you decide what you like!
