“Kristen is a talented actor who could handle the physical challenges of the role,”
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
says Andrew Lazar.  “You have to buy that she's a ‘climber girl,’ and that she’s tough and
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
very intelligent.  Part of the fun is also that she gets to play the two

boys off against one

another.”

“Maddy has to manage both of her friends as well as her baby brother Max,” says
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Freundlich.  “Since her character is only 12 years old, she is just beginning to realize her

racer in his hometown racing circuit.  “Especially with all the action: robbing banks, the

security dogs, all the running.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
I like speed, so it’s all good.”

Gus has a close friendship with Austin, who is also a rival in his affection for
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Maddy.  Corbin Bleu plays Austin, a budding filmmaker and computer genius whose job
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
is to hack into the bank’s mainframe computer to contr

ol the security cameras, and to

somehow tame the vicious Rottweilers that patrol the bank.

“Austin is pretty close to me,” Bleu says.  “He’s kind of a bookworm and a really
