"Our morning routine includes going over last night's most popular viral videos," says Mae Whitman, who plays Amber Holt. Adds Miles Heizer (Drew Holt), "Here's Dax and Mae getting ready, watching and rooting me on in The Hunger Games."

"Here's what the characters look like in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the show Mae voices April O'Neil for," says Heizer. Whitman is less thrilled. "Wow!" she exclaims sarcastically. "I think I'll make this my new headshot!"

"I’m extremely honored to be a part of this family," says Whitman. "I hope this show goes on a million years so I can grow old with these clowns." Or, as Heizer puts it, "Goonies never die!"
