Guitar Hero Live Rocks The House

Did you know that in order for the skin to protect our bodies from UV radiation, microorganisms and toxic agents, it must be kept adequately hydrated? Hydrated skin will remain flexible and allow our protective barrier to remain intact. If skin is broken, environmental factors can damage our bodies and cause exacerbated water loss, feeding a cyclical pattern of more damage due to further dehydration.

If you have kids chances are they love superheroes, robots & monsters…Disney has a new serialized live-action series “MECH-X4” that will be premiering this weekend with four back-to-back episodes on the Disney Channel, Disney Channel App & Disney Channel VOD. While in LA for the #DoctorStrangeEvent we were able to screen the first two episodes of MACH-X4 and interview the cast!
So What Is MECH-X4?
MECH-X4 is the brainchild of the producer Steve Marmel and combines robots, brothers, best friends & monsters. Anupam Nigam, Brian Hamilton and Zach Lipovsky also serve as executive producers.
Ryan Walker is a typical freshman at Bay City High until he discovers he is a “technopath” with the extraordinary ability to control technology with his mind. His superpower mysteriously awakens a 150-foot robot known as MECH-X4 and Ryan can command its every move. When monsters suddenly begin to descend upon the city, Ryan recruits his two best friends, Harris and Spyder, and his older brother Mark to help him operate the robot’s high-tech defense system while he pilots MECH-X4. The four unlikely teenage heroes must quickly learn how to work together as a team to maneuver MECH-X4, their only hope of saving their own and ultimately the world.
Meet The Talent Behind MECH-X4
Nathaniel James Potvin “Ryan Walker”
Nathaniel was Born and raised in Los Angeles & has a passion for performing at an early age. He began studying hip-hop and other forms of dance and later competed with an award-winning Hip-Hop Dance Team. He later discovered his love for acting when he landed a lead role in a youth summer enrichment production of “The Devil in Sherman Marsh.” He enjoys hip-hop dancing, playing guitar, singing, skateboarding, rock climbing, parkour, photography, wantching movies & hanging out with friends.
How are you like your character Ryan?
“I’m kinda like my character because Ryan is always rising to the occasion. So whenever he has to fight a monster or even stand up to his brother, I’m kinda like that in some ways. I have two older brothers so I know exactly what Ryan goes through on a daily basis…& we both love to skateboard.”
If you had any super power in life what would it be?
“If I had a super power it would probably be teleportation because who wants to pay for airline tickets? No one does. Also, it would just be really convenient. If I got locked out of my house I could just teleport inside my house.”
Favorite Movie(s)?
“My favorite movie is, Good Will Hunting. I just think it’s inspirational that these two guys got together and they wrote a movie together, and then they created something. And how they got this story and they went through a person’s trouble of being really smart and how he has to struggle with that. And my favorite line is “I gotta go see about a girl.”‘
Kamran Lucas “Harris”
Lucas discovered acting when his buddy from second-grade invited him to a drama camp and he landed the starring role in one of the camps productions. He enjoys creative writing and participated in the Young Storytellers Foundation and penned a screenplay “The Trip to Italy,” which was performed by professional actors. He holds a Junior Black Belt in Martial Arts, is a self-professed Geochche enthusiast, who is equally versed in Pokemon-Go and Minecraft.
How are you like your character Harris?
“Harris and I are pretty similar in book smart terms. More like we both dress really nice and we’re both ladies men.”
If you had any super power in life what would it be?
“I kinda wanna have the ability to stop and turn back time. ‘Cause in case I wanna change something like when I was younger, I was at Legoland and this girl pushed me. I was really mad ‘cause she did it for no reason and I just want to go back and say, hey, I’m on Disney Channel now.”
Favorite Movie(s)?
“One of my favorite movies was Big Fat Liar, which was with Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes. I just thought it was a really good movie because it was about a kid who left everything to- prove something to his parents and go on this whole journey of self-discovery and, you know, figuring out his place in the world really. And it was just a cool adventure. Watching it all I guess kind of inspired me, too, to be an actor.”
Pearce Joza “Spyder”
Pearce made his sage debut at age four in his hometown of Durange, Colorado playing Randy in the cult classic “A Christmas Story.” His love for acting continued, and he went on to perform in many other local stage productions. When he was 11, Joza was the only actor under 18 accepted into the Los Angeles acting workshop and subsequently started booking work in independent films and television. He enjoys handing out with friends and family & takes college courses in Astrophysics, writing and computational investing.
How are you like your character Spyder?
“I like to say I’m like my character and not like my character. Spyder’s very crazy and he likes to do a lot of daredevil stuff type things. And I lived in Colorado for a long time so I like to go out back and, play in the pond and climb trees or whatever. I also love school. I’m taking college level courses and Sypder’s not very good at school.”
If you had any super power in life what would it be?
“Telekinetic powers. It’s pretty much controlling anything you think with your mind.”
Favorite Movie(s)?
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It’s, of course, with Jim Carrey, but it’s just amazing how it is comedy and drama at the same time, which is what I’m really into. I love comedy, of course, but I also wanna do drama some day. It would be awesome.”
Raymond Cham “Mark Walker”
Raymond was born in Los Angeles and is best known for his role as Devon in “Teen Beach 2.” He has always had a passion for acting and dancing and has performed on numerous shows and specials. Right now he resides in Southern California with his mother and enjoys creative writing, working on scripts for pilots and feature films, playing sports, hiking and rock climbing.
How are you like your character Mark?
“I’m kinda like my character in a way. When it comes to family I’m very protective. And you’ll see that later ‘cause right now you’ve just pretty much seen me crank my brother. But yeah, I care for my family and I’ll do anything to protect them and make sure that they’re okay. I’ve also dabbled in sports a bit. When I was around eight or nine, I used to play basketball. But, other than that I’m not too similar.”
If you had any super power in life what would it be?
“Shape shifting! Right? It’s the craziest. Boom, I wanna fly, I’m a bird. I end up in the water I’m a whale. I could be anything. Yeah, ‘cause it’s my favorite. I think about it all the time. Maybe too much, but… Everyone’s like, I wanna fly. What? That’s it? That’s all you wanna do? I could do that. I could do anything.”
Favorite Movie(s)?
“I love sci-fi. I love dramas. I love all genres. Sci-fi is really awesome. Interstellar is one of my very favorite movies. Christopher Nolan, I think is a genius. And Nicolas Winding Refn is a great director. I just try to watch as many things as I can.”
Let’s Talk To The Producers
So how did this show get started? What were your influences?
Steve Marmel
“There’s a little ET, there is a little Goonies.” (we all agreed!) We love giant robots – we both love giant robots. So obviously, were ‘yay, we get to play with a giant robot.” like that’s, that’s both of us as kids.
Anupam Nigam
“And I love on Transformers. I grew up on Omega Supreme. And for me it was also Godzilla. It was a big influence. In fact there are several Godzilla movies where he fights a giant robot. I made him watch them.”
Steve Marmel
“We’re both comic guys, and I’m a huge comic book guy. So that serialized storytelling of epic stories, that’s the stuff I love the most. But it’s the kids in the robot that I love.”
The kids have a great back and fourth and it shows on screen. The effects & monsters are fun but not scary so it’s something even my 3 year old would enjoy watching.
“We hope that people come away from it thinking it’s a show about family,It’s a show about friendship, and it’s a show about teamwork.” – Marmel
TUNE IN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11 – SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 FOR BACK-TO-BACK EPISODES!
