Stating, “The character is Freddie, and originally he wasn’t supposed to have Fanconi, when I found out they changed it to Fanconi Anemia, it made me really happy because we need awareness, because awareness leads to research and research leads to a cure which is so great because this is such a rare disorder. So, I am very happy, very happy.” The film debuted this month and is available to watch on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Cox Cable and Vimeo.

Cale also took time to talk about how he has attained success in his career. Sharing, “I competed in an acting show called iPOP and from there I got an agent and I’ve done a lot of open casting calls.” He continued on with a reflection on one of his first gigs, saying “I did one with Nickelodeon, it was a general meeting, and the next thing I know I was on Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn on Nickelodeon…It was just a full-on dance party, it was amazing.”

He continued by sharing how his platform as an actor, has allowed him to the great opportunity to bring further attention to Fanconi Anemia.
