Ruth Righi Says This Is the Fun Part of Playing Sydney on 'Sydney To The Max'

Ruth Righi is opening up about starring in Sydney To The Max!

The 14-year-old actress stars as the title character Sydney, and she dished to JJJ about the Disney Channel series.

“My favorite part about playing Sydney is the fact that we are both girls around the same age going through the same things,” Ruth told us. “It’s really fun to portray a character that is so different yet so alike to me personally.”

Ruth also shared how being on the show has changed her life.

“This show has positively impacted my life in so many ways! I have met so many incredible people and had life-changing experiences all thanks to the show,” Ruth said. “I am grateful for the amazing things that have happened to me because of Sydney to the Max and am always overjoyed when I hear someone tell me that they can relate to the show or have been touched by the messages.”

Be sure to tune in each week to catch Ruth in new episodes of Sydney To The Max Fridays at 8pm on Disney Channel!
