Josh Sundquist, Logan Marmino & Matt Fleckenstein On Apple TV+ Series “Best Foot Forward” & More

Based on the book Just Don’t Fall by real-life Paralympic athlete, author, motivational speaker and comedian Josh Sundquist, Best Foot Forward follows 12-year-old Josh Dubin (played by Logan Marmino) as he goes from homeschool to public school, eager to experience everything life has to offer. But along the way, Josh also faces a brand-new set of challenges, including how to get an entire school of kids to see past his prosthetic leg and get to know him for who he is. With the support of his parents and the help of his friends, Josh learns, laughs and grows, eager to come back every day for more. All 10 episodes of the highly-anticipated Apple TV+ series are set to debut on Friday, July 22, 2022.

Best Foot Forward was developed for television by Matt Fleckenstein (iCarly, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn) with 4 episodes directed and executive produced by Victor Nelli Jr. (The Wonder Years, Mr. Show With Bob & David). Best Foot Forward stars Logan Marmino, Stephen Schneider (Players), Joy Suprano (Fleishman Is In Trouble, Hightown), Peyton Jackson (American Refugee) and Trinity Jo-Li Bliss (Avatar: The Way Of Water). Josh Sundquist serves as an executive producer and writer, alongside Muse Entertainment’s Joel S. Rice (Single All The Way) and Meghan Mathes Jacobs (Fixer Upper Mysteries).

On June 21, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with Josh Sundquist, Logan Marmino and Matt Fleckenstein via Zoom, as embedded below. More on the Apple TV+ series is here, here and here.
