Asher Angel, an American child actor, was born on 6th September 2002. He has a dream of becoming a professional full-time actor in the future. He has performed in more than 10 theatre productions. Most of the time, he is occupied. His workday is from 9 am to 6 pm during the week. “I go to sleep when I get home, with weekends off,” Asher said. However, he loves animals and always finds time to help them.

Asher and his family became interested in animal rescue(救援) after their beloved dog, Avery, died from illness. They volunteer at a local animal rescue centre called Home Fur Good. Asher walks, feeds and plays with the dogs at the rescue centre.

At home now, Asher has three dogs, one cat and two hamsters(仓鼠), and they are mostly rescued pets. He loves all his pets and could not imagine his life without them. His acting work keeps him away a lot, but he loves to play with his dogs as soon as he gets home. They are super excited to see him every time. Asher has a special relationship with Monet Belle, one of his dogs. He says, “Her eyes look like a human’s, and I can talk to her. She comforts me when I need her.”

Asher is really excited about his new role in Andi Mack, because Jonah Beck, a dog character in this production, is a lot like him: thoughtful and sensitive(敏感的). They got the chance together to learn to play Frisbee(飞碟), which was really fun.
