Given its track record of flighting some of the most iconic kids shows to date from as far back as the 90s, it's no surprise that many 13-year-olds across the globe dream of making it as a Nickelodeon star and joining the ranks of former Nickelodeon stars like Ariana Grande and Miranda Cosgrove.
However, for MItchell Berg, that dream became his reality when he was cast as a series regular on the network's Side Hustle.
TheThings caught up with him to hear all about his character in the hit show - plus, his reaction the moment he learned he'd snagged the part!
Mitchell Opens Up About Joining The Cast Of 'Side Hustle'
Having previously featured in Nickelodeon's Henry Danger as Lill' Dynomite, Mitchell is no stranger to being on a hit show.
However, his excitement at joining the cast of Side Hustle is palpable.
Asked how it felt, knowing what the future held, Mitchell doesn't skip a beat: "it feels unbelievable!"
"One day I was training in a local studio, and the next I was cast as a series regular," he continues, adding that there are still moments when he feels like he needs to pinch himself to see if it's all really happening.
"Every now and then," he gushes, "it is hard to believe that I get to make a show with so many cool people."
It also doesn't hurt, he adds, that his character is "super fun to play."
Mitchell Recounts The Moment He Learned He'd Been Cast On 'Side Hustle'
As for how he reacted when he found out he'd be playing Fisher in the show, Mitchell thinks back on the audition process.
"I was invited to a table read with Jayden Bartels and Jules LeBlanc when the show was first getting off the ground," he recalls.
And, as he previously told StudentPages, the rest is history.
"It went really well, and I was offered the part a few days later," he smiles, going on to say that he was "shocked and very excited" when he received the news.
Mitchell Tells Us About His Character On 'Side Hustle', Fisher
On his character, Fisher, Mitchell shares, "he's a science and technology genius with a huge, not-so-secret crush on Lex," - AKA Jules LeBlanc's character.
"He is awesome at science," Mitchell continues, chuckling, "but has a lot to learn when it comes to life."
"So, he's either learning the ways of the world or he's coming up with crazy inventions to help his sister and friends earn money in their part-time jobs."
Mitchell Reveals What Fans Can Expect From Fisher In 'Side Hustle'
So, what can viewers look forward to seeing from Fisher?
For starters, Mitchell jokes, a whole lot of misadventures are in store for his character.
"In a recent Halloween episode, Fisher turned Lex's old stuffed bear into a living creature. This would help the kids make their haunted house scary, so they could earn more money."
A great plan in theory - but, as Mitchell explains, not the best in practice.
"The bear turns evil," the actor laughs, "and all sorts of craziness happens."
The Thing Mitchell Is MOST Excited For 'Side Hustle' Fans To See
With laugh-a-minute plots in abundance, it's hard for Mitchell to pinpoint just one thing he's excited for viewers to see. However, he explains that he's probably most excited for fans to stay dialed into Fisher's "next big invention" - and it all comes down to learning from a new perspective.
"Kids are getting the chance to do a lot of STEM learning in school, and it is usually super fun because it's less books and more hands-on."
However, part of what makes Fisher so exciting for Mitchell is how he takes what many kids are learning and kicks it up a notch - or several!
"At my school, we got to make hot air balloons, Rube Goldberg machines, drones, you name it. Fisher takes all that stuff to the next level, so it's always fun for kids (myself included!) to see what he's coming up with."
With new inventions, misadventures and plenty of laughs to boot, Side Hustle has everything an audience could want - and we can't wait to keep up with Fisher and his antics!
