When Reed Horstmann was a little kid, he thought all movies were real!
The The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia actor just spilled about the hilarious story of how he discovered acting was a career and knew he wanted to pursue it.
Reed also told JJJ about his athletic background, his unpopular favorite musician and his best bithday ever.
I’ve played guitar for 5 years. The first song I ever learned was probably “TNT” by AC/DC.
My favorite way to listen to music is through vinyl records; Van Halen 1 is my current favorite.
When I was younger, I used to have an old school Bieber haircut and glasses…not my finest look.
Unpopular opinion: I think country music is awesome, especially older country. Johnny Cash was one of my favorite artists as a youngster, and he still is today.
When I was little, I never understood the concept of acting. To me, everything I saw in a movie or show was 100% real. This was how I thought for years. It wasn’t until I was about five or six that I figured it out. When I was very young my dad showed me the Star Wars films; my favorite character was Han Solo. When I got a bit older, I saw the first Indiana Jones movie. I was immediately confused because why was Han Solo in this movie? My parents had to explain to me that he’s just an actor playing a role. This absolutely shattered me but was fascinating at the same time. I guess that was the beginning of my interest to become an actor.
