- You play the role of Olive on the new Disney Channel series, Sydney to the Max! What can fans expect from the show?
- AVA KOLKER: The show is so much fun! It’s about a girl named Sydney in middle school who goes through everything with her dad Max, her best friend Olive, and her grandmother Judy. But every time she has a struggle, we flashback to when her dad Max was a kid in the ’90s and when he went through something similar. This shows that even in different decades, even though some things change, they mostly stay the same. This show will really be relatable to kids and their parents, making it a show the whole family can enjoy together.
- How did you react when you found out you landed the role?
- AVA: I screamed and cried! I will post the video of my reaction at some point. It was so emotional, and truly was the best day of my life.
- Sydney to the Max has such a fun concept, switching between the current day and the ’90s. What is your favorite ’90’s trend?
- AVA: Oh wow, that’s a hard one, but I would say the music and dancing. You will love Max’s best friend Leo’s dancing on the show.

- AVA: I always try to attend as many charity events as I can, as well as post about different organizations whose cause I like to support. I like to spread awareness for those wonderful organizations who make such a positive impact in the world.
- Do you have any words of wisdom you’d like to share with your fans?
- AVA: I would just like to tell them not to get discouraged when times get tough because there are so many ups and downs and so much rejection in the pursuit of anything worthwhile, that they have to keep working hard to keep getting better until they reach their goals.
