GL: How did you land the role of Devin in Amazon's new pilot for The Kicks?

Sixx: I auditioned—it was a lot of work but an unforgettable experience.

GL: Do you have a lot in common with Devin?

Sixx: We share a lot! We both have a huge love for soccer and think of the field as our comfort zone. I also moved from the east coast to the west coast and we had mutual feelings for sure. When you think of California you think of a huge golden place where dreams come true and you do not want to be the one to fail. It's intimidating, but I believe Devin and I will succeed.

GL: When did you start playing soccer, and when did you start acting?

Sixx: I started playing soccer when I was four-years-old and I have loved it ever since. I started professionally acting one year ago, but I have been going to acting camps for a couple years now.

GL: Awesome. So what's the best part about being in The Kicks?

Sixx: The best part is working with the most amazing director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, David Babcock, and the super cast. Everyone is the best!

GL: Did you get to work with Alex Morgan at all? What was it like bringing her story to life?

Sixx: It was a dream come true being able to be a part of bringing Alex’s books to life. Alex is one of the sweetest most humble people you will meet and a true inspiration.

GL: Can you tell us any stories about filming the pilot?

Sixx: A really funny story was a scene I was filming with Noah Urrea. Do you remember the locker scene? After the first take I shut the locker, and then when we filmed the second take I tried opening the locker but it had accidentally locked. So I was just standing there saying my lines while trying to pry open the locker. It was really funny because Noah and I could barely keep it together. I was trying to carry on the scene but I had locked myself out.

GL: That's hilarious. If you could only describe your show in three words, what would you pick?

Sixx: Exciting, relatable and fun!
