Mckenna Grace is one of our all-time faves. From her hilarious parts on TV shows like Young Sheldon<\/em> and Fuller House <\/em>to her best big screen moments, like Captain Marvel <\/em>and Gifted<\/em>, Mckenna is a talented powerhouse. <\/p>\n

Now, she's lending her amazing voice to yet another iconic character: The young Daphne Blake in SCOOB! <\/em><\/p>\n

We caught up with Mckenna to talk about everything from playing the younger version of so many iconic characters and actresses to her summer style musts. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Girls' Life: What was it like to voice an iconic character like Daphne for SCOOB!<\/em>? <\/strong> 
\nMckenna Grace: <\/strong>It was amazing! My grandma actually has a video of me when I was 7 dressed up as Daphne dancing to the Ghostbusters<\/em> theme song, so it feels like it was always meant to be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GL: You've played the younger version of SO MANY amazing characters during your career including Daphne. How do you approach playing the younger version of a character?<\/strong> 
\nMG: <\/strong>I didn't set out to play a bunch of younger characters, but it kind of happened that way and I love it. It'll be exciting when I hopefully have a younger version of a character I'm playing. I wonder who will play it? I don't really have a set approach to how I play a character because every experience is so different. I definitely try to look at the older version and do my best to become like them. One of my favorite younger versions that I've played was Young Tonya Harding. I researched the story before I played her and had this idea of who I thought she was, but during filming I really started to connect to her and had a better understanding of her childhood and what she went through. I came to really love her. I still talk to the real Tonya and she is lovely. It was also really fun to get to ice skate. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GL: You dyed your hair brunette for a couple of roles recently. Was it scary to try such a different look? Would you consider dying your hair bright red like Daphne? Are there any haircuts\/colors\/etc. that are still on your bucket list to try out? <\/strong>
\nMG: <\/strong>It can be a little scary because my hair has been through a lot. I have a really amazing hair colorist, Matt Rez who does all my different colors no matter what movie I'm on. I feel safe because I know he will never fry my hair or mess it up. I would love to do bright red! I have always wanted to have rainbow colored hair and my Mom said she would let me if I wasn't an actress. I ended up getting some clip-ins that I love. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you get to record dialogue with any of your SCOOB!<\/em> castmates? What was it like getting to work with Iain on a movie since you've already worked together for a few years on Young Sheldon<\/em>? <\/strong>
\nMG: <\/strong>I didn't record with anyone else because voice over is done differently. You go into a studio by yourself to record. It's funny, because in the movie the young characters are going trick or treating together and I went trick or treating with Iain in real life this past Halloween and the year before that I went trick or treating with Ariana Greenblatt (who plays young Velma).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GL: What summer styles\/trends are you most excited about this year? Do you have any summer style tips you can share?<\/strong>
\nMG: <\/b><\/font>I'm excited for summer because I love wearing dresses. I'm definitely not the person to ask for style tips because I really don't put a lot of thought into what I wear. If it looks cute and feels comfortable I'll wear it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SCOOB! <\/em>is available for both Premium Video on Demand and premium digital ownership on May 15th. Click here<\/a> to find a place to buy or rent the movie yourself!
