Callie Haverda Talks Growing Up, Acting, and Playing Leia Forman on That 90s Show.

Meet Callie Haverda, the star of the newest Netflix comedy series, “That ‘90s Show.” Hailing all the way from Austin Texas, Callie was always interested in the world of acting. The 15 year-old actress takes a break from packing for a trip to Sundance to chat with me about all things acting, and working in the entertainment industry at a young age. She told me about the first time a film truly caught her attention. “When I was younger, I was obsessed with the movie Nim’s Island in which Abigail Breslin was the lead. She was very young and I always wanted to work on a project like that. As a young kid watching this show I felt such joy and excitement just watching it. I think that really pushed me to work on something like that and be able to affect people in the same way,” she says. At just six-years-old, Callie got her first experience working with professional actors, portraying Sierra in the film, The Adventures of Pepper and Paula.
