One particularly popular box?
The Disney box, and thats the one I focused on withHeart Eyesstar,Olivia Holt.
Holts star started to rise with not one, but two Disney shows and a Disney Channel Original Movie.

I just couldn’t care anymore.
Embracing it has served Holt exceptionally well since the end ofI Didnt Do It.
She also delivered big starring in the Hulu seriesCruel Summer.

Holt plays Ally in theJosh Ruben-directedromantic comedy slasher film.
Trouble is, its Valentines Day and the Heart Eyes Killer is out for blood.
When HEK suspects Ali and Jay are on a date, they become HEKs next target.
I had no idea what I was doing.
But they didn’t know, and I didn’t really have a lot of friends.
We didnt have family there.
In Heart Eyes, two co-workers working late on Valentine’s Day are mistaken for a couple by the infamous Heart Eyes Killer. Directed by Josh Ruben and written by Michael Kennedy and Christopher Landon, the film stars Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt.
There was no one really guiding us."
Hes a sitcom veteran.
He knows what he’s doing.
He’s so brilliant and so funny.He really became my mentor for four years.He made it feel less new.
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, you’re doing a table read, rehearsing all the scenes.
Honestly, even for myself, I didn’t know who I was.
Holt did just that on one of her next series,Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger.
She continued:
It was the first job I had ever done without having a parent there.
I didn’t have a mom there anymore.
I didn’t have a set teacher there anymore.
There was no one else except for me that could handle any of it.
And there were multiple times when I was like, I’m not comfortable with this.
I won’t be doing that.
I feel like it elevated our show, because we all just felt so comfortable to really push ourselves.
I think that that show was the first time that I ever felt that way.
OnKickin It, it was Jason Earls, and onCloak and Daggerit was directorGina Prince-Bythewood.
The director of our pilot onCloak and Dagger, her name is Gina Prince-Bythewood.
I love that woman, andshe really helped me understand the gravity of being a woman on set.
I don’t even think she knows this.
Ally’s arc through the whole story is so much fun.
It’s so much fun to watch.
She has this pressure umbrella over her all the time.
She’s also incredibly badass.
She’s in [better] shape than I am!
