Charlie Bushnell talks "Diary of A Future President" on Disney+, making content with his friends, and the audition with a questionable accent!

About Charlie:

Los Angeles-native Charlie Bushnell was destined to be in entertainment. The son of a musician and nephew to a film and television actor, at just 10 years old he started making movies with his friends.

While binge-watching “Stranger Things”, he made the big decision to pursue acting. In the beginning, Bushnell self-trained every day by memorizing his favorite film monologues while also filming himself. Next, he started participating in elementary and middle school plays and eventually started taking professional acting classes at John Rosenfeld Studios and Ruskin Academy in Santa Monica, amongst others. 

Auditions quickly followed and he soon landed the role of Bobby Cañero-Reed in the Disney+ coming-of-age comedy series "Diary of a Future President”, executive produced by Gina Rodriguez through her production company, I Can and I Will. The series follows 13-year old Cuban-American Elena in her journey to become the future president of the United States while navigating the ups-and-downs of middle school. Bobby is Elena's sweet and mischievous older brother who is now a freshman in high school. Presently, you will see Charlie reprise his role as Bobby in the upcoming season on Disney+ and you will see him grow and blossom as he navigates high school. Season 2 is currently streaming.

Off screen, in Charlie’s spare time he loves just being a regular eleventh grader, playing soccer, tennis, video games, studying hard, and enjoying time with his family.
