SEATTLE – Sophia Mitri Schloss balances the demands of life in two very different worlds.

The Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences senior is not only busy with school, but also regularly plays on the Disney + show “Big Shot”.

The show debuted in mid-April and follows Marvin Korn, a college basketball coach who is forced to take a job at a private high school for girls in La Jolla, California.

Sophia plays Korn’s daughter Emma, ​​who moves from Wisconsin to California to live with him.

“The energy and atmosphere on set is incredible. I cannot speak highly enough of everyone. John Stamos was definitely part of that dynamic too. He is on set every day and brings all his energy and his funny self with him, and I was so grateful to him and everyone, ”said Sophia.

While this is undoubtedly a big break for Sophia, she has been playing since elementary school.

She took classes at the Seattle Children’s Theater and appeared in various student films.

“Student films are great because when I was six years old, I was studying right with these college students who were making their first films,” said Sophia.

In between performances, Sophia enjoys playing music and is proud to be part of the Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences jazz choir called “The Onions”.

In the fall, Sophia plans to attend Yale University. But when “Big Shot” comes for season two, she’ll be ready to take a year off.
