We spoke with Bianca and Chiara, twin actresses who have taken on the entertainment industry together, about their most recent accomplishments from filming The Code to serving as youth ambassadors for an anti-bullying campaign.
What drew you both to acting?
Bianca: We were really young when we started acting. Our first role was playing Summer Newman on The Young and Restless. Since we are twins it was easier to start acting at such a young age playing one character.
Chiara: Soon after we realized how much we loved acting and entertainment and wanted to stick with it.
How did you get involved in Sage Alexander: The Dark Realm?
Bianca: We were very fortunate that everything came together so perfectly where we were able to meet with the producers of Sage Alexander who decided that twins would be an awesome addition to the cast.
What was your favorite moment on set?
Chiara: We filmed in a huge haunted house! There were a few times where cast members would try and scare each other when we weren’t filming. It was a big maze so we even got lost a few times.
Bianca: I loved working with our friends Brooke Butler and Hayden Summerall, and meeting the other actors on set.
You also sing, what is your favorite song you’ve released so far?
Bianca: My favorite song we’ve released has to be “Let Your Light Shine” because the message meant so much to us. It is a song about standing up to bullies and not letting haters bring you down.
Chiara: I loved working on “Young and Free.” We both had so much fun writing the song together and filming our music video with Hayden Summerall.
Can we expect new music in the near future?
Chiara: Recently, we have been focusing on acting but we plan to get back to writing music in 2019.
What inspired you to start your “Day In The Life” YouTube series?
Bianca: My sister and I are very fortunate to always be working on different projects, traveling, and going to fun events, so we wanted to take our followers on a typical ‘Day In The Life’ of the D’Ambrosio Twins!
Can you tell us about any of your upcoming projects?
Bianca: We have been working with an amazing company called Sticker Bling Bling where we have our own line of stickers! We can’t wait to release more. You can find them on www.stickerblingbling.com.
Chiara: We also just wrapped filming The Code which is a Sci Fi thriller that takes place in the distant future. We had so much fun playing twins in the film and working with Nia Sioux and Nash Grier on set!
You also are Youth Ambassadors for the Boo2Bullying Organization.
Bianca: Yes, we have been involved with Boo2Bullying since we were 8 years old. It’s a great organization that helps educate people about bullying and lets kids being bullied know they are not alone.
How can our readers get involved with Boo2Bullying?
Chiara: Boo2Bullying has plenty of ways to get involved, including donation opportunities and events! You can check out boo2bullying.org to find out more!
What advice do you have for aspiring actors?
Chiara: I have always told our followers that you are never too young to start pursuing something you love!
Bianca: Always dream big, and don’t let anyone dull your sparkle.
