A Wrinkle in Time's Deric McCabe Shares His Firsts

Geez, my reflection's pretty.

Hi, my name is Deric McCabe,

and we are playing Team Vogue's Game of Firsts.

My first pet was a fish named Lloyd,

but he wasn't really mine.

I left him at my Grandma's.

A commercial?

I don't remember who it was for or what I had to do,

but I know it was a commercial.

School of Rock with Jack Black.

I liked how it was all kids,

and he put his class into a band.

So that's pretty odd.

Anything by Nicki Minaj.

I sang along with her when I was like four.

My first impression meeting Oprah was funny,

'cause we were doing stunt training.

She was eating my popcorn,

'cause I put special cheddar on it

and I put so much butter,

and she was like, Whose popcorn is this?

I'm like, Oh, it's mine.

And then I got really sad 'cause

there went my popcorn.

My first audition was with the casting director named Aisha.

All I knew was that I'm playing an intelligent boy.

My first favorite school subject is lunch.

My first best friend was a kid named Milo.

We played tag.

Not to cuss when I'm doing Nicki Minaj,

'cause I didn't know that it was bad words.

They're like, Don't do that, don't say that.

I'm like, Why?

First impression meeting Storm was at a chemistry read,

and I didn't even recognize her,

'cause I thought she was just there.

It was really, really fun, 'cause we got super close

and I thought of her as an actual sister.

I thought she was a casting director,

'cause I didn't know who she was.

She always gets so involved, and she'd explain to me

what's happening in the scene.

Bacon, 'cause I had so many things in front of me.

Do I eat bacon, do I eat eggs, do I eat the pancakes?

Yeah, it was bacon.

Wow, that's hard.

Every summer I go to Montana to see my grandparents.

That was my first visitation with them.

I swim, I jump on their trampoline.

When I learned how to swim,

and ride a bike, yeah.

I was like seven, only like two years ago.
