London Rose Sellars, the Memphis born child actress who plays Callie is not revealing much about the show, even though she was asked about it during a recent interview.

"I can't talk about it," she said. "But I like acting alot. It's lots of fun."

Now a resident of Kentucky, Sellars says she enjoys coming to Atlanta to film. The youngster is getting used to the looks from adults who do a double take when they see her with her mom, Meckaela.

"They look at her a few times and then tell me she looks so familiar," she said. "Then it hits them. It's really incredible because she's too young to watch the show and it's not a children's show, but they recognize her."

London Rose broke on to the modelling scene as a child and quickly scored ads with magazines, clothing brands and even Disney. She wanted to try acting and soon found herself flying state to state to film the Oscar-nominated 'Harriett" starring Cynthia Ervio and making several trips to Atlanta to film at Tyler Perry Studios in just 2019.

"It's lots of work and you have to remember a lot of things," says London Rose of her experience. "You also have to remember to listen to the directors and to do your best. But I like Atlanta and I like going to the studio to work on the tv show."

London Rose's schedule is managed by her mother who is also her teacher.

"You certainly do have to make a few adjustments here and there," she said. "But as long as she is okay with doing this, we'll allow her to do it. It's important to make sure kids are well rounded and grounded so as long as she enjoys it, it's fun and not just work for her."
