—Mike Birbiglia’s Secret Public Journal, Co-Star
—Disney’s 3 Minute Game Show
—Not Another Not Another Movie, this feature film has Chevy Chase and Burt Reynolds in it.
—Au Pair, Kansas. This is the feature that Kelsey was also in. Kendall played the 4th lead in the movie! His brother was played by Spencer Daniels (Benjamin Button and Star Trek movie) and his mom was Traci Lords.

Kyle:

—Zoey 101, Co-Star

Kayla hasn’t booked any jobs since her 1st commercial. She is at an “inbetween age” and doesn’t get to audition much. However, she has had several callbacks for tv.

Hope all is well with The Actor’s Scene and AMTC! You guys are awesome! If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here!!

Take care,
Denise

Email Update from Mrs. Sanders, Nov. 1, 07

Hi,

I know…I haven’t updated in a while. Well, I’ll start with Kendall. He has recently started back shooting the 12 MILES OF BAD ROAD SHOW, which is on HBO. So far, he is in two other episodes. This is the one where he gets to drive the little red car. So, that was a lot of fun! He also Guest Starred on an episode of PASSIONS. He will be in a Christmas episode that airs December 6, I think on NBC. He also booked a voice in a cartoon called LAMIMILA. Kendall has been very busy going out on some really good feature film and television auditions. He has gotten in the final choices on several things and was even on hold for a SAMSUNG commercial. Kendall’s UNFABULOUS episode still hasn’t aired but we will keep you informed when we know.

Kayla has only had a few auditions. She has turned 13 and hopefully is coming out of a slower age. She is almost as tall as Kelsey and hopefully, will begin going out more in the next year; although, I don’t think she minds too much. She really loves riding horses and wants to keep focusing on that.

Kyle has auditioned more recently since he is now 15 (looking 16). He actually booked a supporting lead in a feature film called BASEMENT JACK. He played a younger version of the lead role and had some really good scenes. It was a very key role and he was really excited about that. Kyle’s SUITE LIFE OF ZACK & CODY episode airs November 10 on Disney, so…“tune in”, as they say. Kyle should also have a ZOEY 101 and a JUST JORDAN episode airing soon on Nickelodeon.

Kelsey auditions like crazy since she can work as an adult (because of her school situation) and also has gotten really close on some good projects. The most recent one is the SUITE LIFE SPIN-OFF with Brenda Song (who plays London on Suite Life of Zack & Cody). Kelsey was the casting director’s favorite and went to producers for a series regular part…which is HUGE! Her part was “Bailey” and she’s from “Kettle Corn, Kentucky”. She was perfect for the part…at least we all thought. Anyway, a few weeks have now gone by and we have been told that she may get re-considered. The girl that the producers chose was not approved by Disney, so they are back to casting. Right now they think they want someone younger, so we are praying that if this is God’s will for her, they will come back to her and cast her…which is absolutely NOT unheard of in this business. To say the least, they definitely know who she is and that is a very good place to be. Please keep praying as that part comes to mind.

Other things for Kelsey…she has been cast in a feature film called RUSH, but it is on hold right now. So, we don’t know if it will ever get done. She recently played a lead role in the feature film GINGERDEAD MAN 2, which is really cheesy, but it will go to DVD. She was the 3rd main role, so that’s good. We are still praying and believing that she will star in the DRAVN film (the one she shot the trailer for). That is still in the works…she is actually helping the director write the graphic novels and is staying very involved with the whole project. Kelsey’s 1st episode of THE WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE has already aired on Disney. The 2nd one should air really soon, probably next week. We are hoping she goes back on that next season as well (she was told by the director at the wrap party that she would be back).

Kelsey is now a part of an incredible singing group called the STUNNERS (picture attached). This is a five girl group with five different girls and five different personalities. Kelsey…of course, is “the small town, country girl”. The group has two great producers (one of them used to be a singer called “Vitamin C”, if you remember). They have had numerous meetings with and performed for about 10-12 different music/film/tv executives including Disney, Nickelodeon, Sony, Mercury, etc. They recently performed a showcase in which lots of these important people were invited and got to meet the girls. There is a lot of interest in this group. We expect them to be signed with one of these music execs and are praying for the right one. The girls also have a feature film they will most likely be cast in as a group. They have already recorded 5 songs and we believe they are all hits!!

I think that covers it all. We will keep you posted as we hear things. Please continue to pray for us!!

Love you!
Denise

Update from Mrs. Sanders on Kelsey

Just wanted to tell you about a website where Kelsey has been part of a girl’s teen advice show: Girl Talk on livevideo.com. She started last year and it has really grown. It’s a great little show with 5 girls who answer all kinds of questions from teens who write in. You can watch the shows (they are really short) and also click on her single picture to go to her own “space” which shows her vlogs about different things and her pictures. livevideo.com/kelsey. It’s really cute but BEWARE…there are other videos from people all over the country and there are some that you WILL NOT want to go to…so just use caution! The name of the show is Girl Talk and just this week iTunes picked it up and now you can actually download the shows on your ipod!! Is that cool, or what? Just go to livevideo.com/girltalk to see her.

She’s also shooting next week a new advice show for GoTv. She will be the “star”, so to speak, of this one. They said they saw ALOT of people and she’s the one they picked!! They have big plans for this show but we are just at the beginning of it, so we will see.

Take care,
Denise

Hi,

Also, don’t forget to catch Kyle in SHREDDERMAN RULES, Nickelodeon’s movie for television. They are still playing it.

Take care,
Denise

The Sanders Family came to AMTC Summer 2005 and Winter 2006. Can families succeed together? Absolutely! Even the Mom, Denise, was brought into the acting world, co-starring with Kelsey in a national Secret commercial. The family is represented by Acme Talent in L.A. Partial credits follow (as of Dec 31, 2006)

In addition to national commercials and print work, Kelsey, 16, has a starring role in the feature film, Shelter. She has a recurring role on a new Nickelodeon show, Jordan. Kelsey guest starred on CSI, and has been cast as a lead in a feature film to be shot in the spring, On Glorious Wings.

Kyle is 14. He played a principal role, “Weird Eyed Wally,” in a Nickelodeon movie for television called Shredderman. He also played a lead in a short fi lm, Ringo Bingo Kid. Other work includes a Disney Vacation DVD and a Right to Life industrial.

Kayla is 11. She has booked a Chicago Town Pizza Commercial and played a principal role in the same Disney Vacation DVD as her brother Kyle.

Kendall is 8. His biggest jobs include starring in the same film as Kelsey, Shelter, as well as guest starring roles on Nip/Tuck and Untold Stories of the ER. He has done voice-over in the WB animated film, The Ant Bully. Kendall recently filmed an HBO pilot with Lily Tomlin, called 12 Miles of Bad Road, which went on his list of “best jobs ever!” What little boy wouldn’t want to drive a $30,000 toy car?
