Meet G Hannelius and Blake Michael
Calling all Dog with a Blog fans! We’ve already been lucky enough to interview the stars of the show starring a talking dog, but we happily caught up with G Hannelius and Blake Michael to see what they’ve been up to since we spoke with them last. On the show, G and Blake play siblings Avery and Tyler. In real life, they’re also good friends. Read on to see what it’s like working with a real dog, their most embarrassing moments (well, Blake’s most embarrassing moment), and more. Check it out!
Q: On the show you guys fight all the time like a real brother and sister, but you love each other.
BLAKE: That’s pretty much it.
G: We fight all the time, but the dog really brings us together.
Q: How do they make Stan the dog talk?
G: They do it with CGI.
BLAKE: We have a great team of really talented CGI animators and artists, and they are very good at what they do. They usually spend weeks per episode animating the dog. It’s a really big process.
Q: Do you kind of wish he did talk?
G: Yeah! He’s a sweetheart.
BLAKE: Absolutely.

Q: What’s one thing you believe can make the world a better place?
G: Laughter.
BLAKE: More water, because I know a lot of places are in need of water.
Q: What’s the most unusual talent that you have that no one knows about?
BLAKE: G’s really good at circus stuff, juggling and stuff.
Q: What was your most embarrassing moment?
G: I don’t have one.
BLAKE: You don’t have one?
G: I don’t get embarrassed!
BLAKE: I remember a few premieres ago my mom licked her hand and set back my hair. That was pretty embarrassing.

Q: Blake, when they cut your hair on the show—was that really your hair, or a wig?
BLAKE: That was really my hair!

Who should be in the Dork Diaries movie cast?You may have heard already, but the bestselling Dork Diaries book series will be made into a movie in 2015! Cool, huh?
If you haven’t read any Dork Diaries books
yet, they’re pretty hilarious. They are written from the diary perspective of Nikki, a 14-year-old middle-schooler, who just transferred to a snooty private school. What everyone doesn’t know is that she is there on scholarship as a part of her dad’s bug exterminator business contract.
Nikki doesn’t fit in with the wealthy, designer-clad students, and spends most of her time alone writing in her diary. Then she befriends two other “dorky” girls, Chloe and Zoey, and discovers the beautiful Brandon Roberts (her crush). But the most popular girl in the school MacKenzie Hollister also has a crush on Brandon, and is determined to make Nikki’s life more miserable than it already is.
So . . . before the casting is decided, we want to know who’s in YOUR dream cast? Maybe some big Hollywood exec will even read this post and cast your pick!
Let us know your cast picks for . . .
Disney Channel
Nikki: With her brown pigtails, and artsy, clumsy, and lovably dorky ways, I would choose G Hannelius.
Chloe: She is slightly prissy and a self-proclaimed expert on boys. I can’t decide between Peyton List
and
Olivia Holt.Zoey has dark hair, loves self-help books, and acts like a teen Dr. Phil with hoop earrings. Zendaya
or
China Anne McClain maybe?

Brandon has wavy hair and blue eyes. He’s an animal lover and super-cute dreamboat. Ross Lynch
— no contest!
MacKenzie has blond hair, blue eyes, and is as evil as a rattlesnake in lip gloss and ankle boots! I would pick Dove Cameron
— not because I think she’s mean, but because she can play all different kinds of girls. She plays
2 completely different people in one show!List your dream cast in the Comments below. We can’t wait to see who you say!
