Interviews
Arvie Lowe, Jr.- Boots

TEEN BEAT:  Tell us about your Newsies character, Boots.

ARVIE LOWE, JR.:  His name is Benjamin Arvis.

TEEN BEAT:  How'd he get his nickname Boots?

ARVIE:  He used to shine shoes when his mom was still with him.  When his mom passed away, he couldn't make it because shining shoes didn't pay well.  So, Jack Kelly [Christian Bale's character] asked if my character wanted to sell papers too.  But since my character loves shoes, they call him Boots.

TEEN BEAT:  You're a dancer.  How'd you start dancing?

ARVIE:  Well, I attended the Regina School Of Performing Arts and I learned to dance with my buddies at school.

TEEN BEAT:  Would you want to try your hand at a career in music?

ARVIE:  I don't know. I think I might want to.

TEEN BEAT:  How'd you get into acting?

ARVIE:  I was taped at a birthday party at the Regina School of Performing Arts and they showed this tape of me dancing to an agent and the agent wanted me to audition for this agency and I got it.  On my first audition I got a job.

TEEN BEAT:  What was the job?

ARVIE:  It was called Box Office Funny.  It turned out to be a movie.

TEEN BEAT:  And you toured Europe.

ARVIE:  For Reebok. I brought a friend.  We're a dance team.

TEEN BEAT:  Where do you see yourself in five years?

ARVIE:  Probably in high school, doing what I do best--drawing characters and creating.

TEEN BEAT:  Is there any one thing you want to say to your fans?

ARVIE:  Go see Newsies!
