As well, being critical of most things, I actually can\u2019t write one bad thing about him. I first came across Boyce\u2019s acting when watching Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 \u2013 when he was playing the role of Keithie Feder. Though he didn\u2019t have many lines, he was able to make you laugh in the lines that he did have. I also remember his very small role in Mirrors which even as an older individual scares me somewhat \u201cI\u2019m not scared, but he is\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/taxpaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/boycejessie.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>In \u201cUsed Karma\u201d (2011)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Even as an adult, I believe that Boyce could make anyone laugh whether it was the antics of Luke Ross (Jessie) or Conor (Gamer\u2019s Guide to Pretty Much Anything). The antics of Luke could be deemed incredibly funny and I will highlight some of my favorite Luke Ross moments here like when Jessie made Luke act like a dog in the \u201cThe Kid Whisperer\u201d or when he kept driving the BAT in G.I. Jesse or my all time favorite Jessie episode \u201cUsed Karma\u201d which to me highlighted the friendship between Luke and Ravi (Karan Brar), practical jokes and a whole lot of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"143\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/taxpaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/boycegamersguide.jpg?resize=300%2C143\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to like watching Gamer\u2019s Guide to Pretty Much Everything. It has been said that the show was lame and wasn\u2019t very funny. I tend to disagree although I would agree with somewhat goofy \u2013 it was created to touch on two important themes \u201cFriendship and Goal Setting\u201d while adding some childish humor. The episodes that I found most humorous had to have been the pilot and \u201cThe Driver\u2019s Test\u201d, the interaction between Conor and Mr Spanks was priceless. With what little I know about Cameron Boyce, it would appear that these two things were important to him in real life. For example, it is public knowledge that he had moved in with his friends Sophie Reynolds (Ashley \u2013 Gamer\u2019s Guide) and Karan Brar. An example to goal setting in his life would have to be his first fund raiser for the Thirst Project. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"264\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/taxpaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/boycedescendants.jpg?resize=264%2C171\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>As Carlos De vil -Descendants 2 (2017)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a Descendants fan, I also feel that Boyce played the VK Carlos very well and that he was an excellent fit for the role. I am a Carlos fan \u2013 he is the villain that you cheer for like when he finally succeeded in asking Jane out.  My biggest disappointment is that Carlos does not have as big of a role in the movies as he does in the book series and that rather than just 3 feature films in between the books would have made a good TV series to lead up to the movies \u2013 which I did find good by the way and they led into the books perfectly and vise versa. I will post more about Descendants later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being critical, I must argue against the position that some critics had taken stating that Cameron didn\u2019t know how to speak unless his speeches were scripted for him. Yes, he did us the the word um a great deal in his interviews but that is perfectly okay as that was just him thinking out loud and actually saying intelligent things rather than shooting off his mouth just because. I believe that it showed the growth of what appeared to me to be an intelligent, insightful, and genuine person who did not speak just for the sake of speaking unlike other actors who do such as Justin Bieber, who in my opinion really can\u2019t act and has made society laugh but in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One was looking forward to see what this rising star could have done \u2013 he was set to join the great ones such as Justin Timberlake \u2013 it is devastating to see the loss of Boyce before he could live up to his full potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I must admit a few things, one, I was a Cameron Boyce fan and two, that I have wanted to watch some of Cameron Boyce\u2019s adult material or more mature themes as he was working on other projects upon leaving Disney. I will hopefully be watching Runt and Mrs Fletcher sometime soon and will post when I have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/taxpaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/boyce.jpg?resize=280%2C183\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In honor of Cameron Boyce and the work he has done in his very few years, please make a donation to the Thirst Project in his memory.
