Child stars can often have a rough road in their early roles, especially if they're 'the kid' of the film, surrounded by adults and thrown into the daunting challenges of a film set. For Milan Ray, co-star of the Amazon Original Movie Troop Zero, having a group of other kids on set helped. As Hell-No Price, the headstrong bully-turned-best-friend of McKenna Grace's dreamer Christmas in Bert & Bertie's quirky kid dramedy, Ray has the unenviable task of putting forth a strong, boisterous personality while also allowing for key moments of vulnerability. Drenched in the sun-soaked affectations of 1970s Georgia (period outfits and Southern vernacular and all), Troop Zero gives its young stars plenty of whimsy to work from, and Ray is a particular highlight. Prior to this year's Sundance Film Festival, I caught up with Milan while she was in Chicago attending a screening of Troop Zero to talk about her life at the beginning of your career, her then-upcoming Sundance premiere of Charm City Kings, and what it'd be like if she got to fulfill Hell-No's goal of recording a message to send into the cosmos.
