Last week, I posted an interview with your kids’ favorite pirates, Sharky and Bones.  In my on-going series of videos on Disney Channel and Disney Junior stars, I am pleased to present to you my interview with Sean Astin.  As parents, we grew up with Sean as Mikey in “The Goonies” and Rudy in the movie “Rudy.”  As adults, we loved him as Sam in the “Lord of the Ring” movies.  Your kids love Sean as the voice of Special Agent Oso, on the popular Disney Junior cartoon by the same name.

Special Agent Oso is a fuzzy, lovable, bumbling special agent-in-training who enlists the help of viewers at home to complete his assignments. Paying homage to special agent classics, the series follows Oso, a stuffed panda bear who works for U.N.I.Q.U.E. (United Network for Investigating Quite Usual Events), an international organization of endearing stuffed animals charged with helping kids accomplish everyday tasks such as cleaning their room, brushing their teeth and learning how to use the library.

At the D23 Expo, I had the opportunity to interview some of your favorite Disney Channel stars and representatives from many of the Disney business units.  For more of my coverage on the D23 Expo, click here.  For more of my ongoing coverage of Disney Junior, click here.
