We had a great conversation with Kayden Kashelev on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about Firebuds, Rebel Moon, how he got started as an actor and more!
The industry has taken notice of this multifaceted up-and-comer who has experience in film, television, theater, and voiceover. Kayden currently lends his voice to the Disney Jr. series Firebuds as Cory, the network’s first non-binary character. The series follows a boy named Bo and his fire engine best friend Flash as they team up with their first responder friends, who are all eager to follow in the footsteps of their parents, to help others in their community with problems big and small. Season 2 is airing throughout the summer on Disney Jr. and Disney Channel with some episodes available on Disney+.
Kayden can also currently be seen starring in the hit two-part Netflix saga, Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire and Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver directed and created by Zack Snyder. The sci-fi epic series is set in a distant galaxy and follows Kora, a former warrior who gathers a group of rebels to defend her colony on the moon Veldt from the tyrannical forces of the Imperium, led by the ruthless Admiral Noble. Across two parts, it explores themes of rebellion, sacrifice, and the fight for freedom against oppressive regimes. Kayden plays Finn, a child who is seen running around his village with friends. He watches as the warriors train and seems to develop a special relationship with Kora. The Rebel Moon saga is streaming now and you can watch the trailer for The Scargiver here. The highly-anticipated Director’s Cuts titled Rebel Moon — Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness will be released August 2nd.
No stranger to the stage, Kayden recently shined as Brendan in Drag: The Musical alongside stars such as Joey McIntyre and RuPaul’s Drag Race talents Alaska and Jackie Cox. The musical was honored as ‘Best New Play Or Musical’ at the 2022 Broadway World Los Angeles Awards.
