Frozen In Love Analysis

As most of my readers know, I always experience great delight while noticing the children in TV movies, and particularly, if those movies happen to appear on one of the Hallmark networks, I am euphoric! In the case of Sebastian Billingsley-Rodriguez, I observed him immediately in the Winterfest movie Frozen In Love which premiered on the Hallmark Channel last month, and I reached out to Sebastian's father to set up a potential interview. He and his father were quite receptive to the idea, and I couldn't be happier to share with you my interview with this charming young man whose infectious exuberance is only matched by his indomitable talent.

RH: Hello, Sebastian!

SBR: Hello, Ruth! Nice to meet you. My dad is here too!

Hello to you both.

Really? Well, Sebastian, you are the youngest person I've ever interviewed.

I think my dad said you interviewed Christian {Convery} and Luke {Roessler} too.

That's right, Sebastian, I sure did. I have interviewed a lot of kids that live up in Vancouver. I've even met Christian and his mom.

How fun!

It was so neat to see you in Frozen In Love, Sebastian.

Thanks! And thanks for having me today!

You're welcome. It's my pleasure. So, Sebastian, do you remember why you wanted to become an actor?

I like acting because it's cool. I love to act. I like to pretend to be different people. Sometimes when I watch TV, I like to get up and pretend to be those people. It's lots of fun.

You might have to ask your dad, but do you remember how old you were when you started acting?

My dad said I was three years old.

"Dad" Jody: Sebastian was three when he auditioned for Legion. He was pretty much shortlisted for the role, and it was just a few weeks later that we were told that Noah Hawley had selected him for playing David "Toddler" in the series. Then we filmed for one day, and it was just fantastic.

I loved every second of it!

Sebastian, do you remember what it was like when you were on the set for

And then I got to play with cars. They had a snow plow and a camper and a pickup truck. When I didn't have to film, I got to sit on a red fire truck. I got to press the button. I was a little bit scared, but it was fun.

Did you have to learn lines for Legion?

"Dad" Jody: No, he didn't. His first speaking role was Frozen In Love.

Oh, I see. So how did you learn the lines for Frozen In Love?

My daddy helped me learned the lines.

Do you remember being on set for Frozen In Love?

I remember Rachael {Leigh Cook} and Niall {Matter}.

I've talked to both of them before, so I know they're pretty cool people. But it looked like you and Niall had a lot of fun together.

When we were on set, I liked being in the trailers. And I had lots of fun with Uncle Adam {Niall}! My favorite part was filming with Uncle Adam. I had fun playing "monster" on the couch. I liked getting to run around.

You did that really well. You had a lot of energy.

Thank you.

"Dad" Jody: And do you remember what Niall said when you were watching hockey? He said, "And what do we do when the other team scores?"

Boo-oo!!

Do you have any other shows or movies coming up or that came out
