'Diary of a Future President' Actress Carmina Garay Knows a Song From Every Disney Movie!

Carmina Garay is dishing on her new show Diary of a Future President!

The young actress plays Sasha on the new show, who is the best friend to Tess Romero‘s Elena.

Carmina spoke to JJJ about working with executive producer Gina Rodriguez, who also directed the first episode, and co-stars in a few episodes.

“When I showed up to begin filming the first episode on Diary, (Gina was directing) of course I didn’t know what to expect,” Carmina told us. “I quickly learned that with Gina, I was in good hands. She is brilliant, super nice and so inspiring. Gina has such a way about her that I felt so welcome on this brand new set. Watching her work, I am so inspired to just be a better actress and try to excel in whatever I do.”

“The whole cast and crew of DOFP was so fun!! Especially on our Themed dress up days!! We had Onesie Day and Dapper Day and Hawaiian Theme special dress days (to name a few!),” she said about fun behind-the-scenes moments. “The fun thing was seeing how creative everyone got! I always looked forward to those days!”

The first episode of Diary of a Future President is streaming NOW on Disney+, with new episodes out weekly.
