Beyond acting, Bo Mitchell\u2019s<\/a> entrepreneurial spirit runs deep. At just eight years old, he used his earnings from acting to invest in a snow cone business, eventually expanding it to two locations and a food truck.<\/h2>\n

By 17, he had launched his own skate park, transforming a 20,000-square-foot warehouse into a community hub for young skaters. His passion for creating safe spaces for underprivileged youth led him to establish a nonprofit in 2016, offering scholarships and equipment to kids in need. Despite setbacks \u2014 including the closure of his skate park due to a hurricane \u2014 Mitchell remains committed to giving back, with new parks already in development.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career, Mitchell has cultivated a strong network in the entertainment industry, often landing roles straight from audition tapes. With early mentorship from industry veterans like James Franco, he\u2019s become a respected presence on screen \u2014 even starring in an Oscar-nominated short film for Best Live Action in 2018.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Mitchell shined in the film THE LINE, which premiered in theaters this past October. Starring alongside Alex Wolff and Lewis Pullman, Bo portrayed \u201cMitch\u201d\u2014a young man caught between privilege, family expectations, and the toxic culture of fraternity life. He also returned as \u2018Brucks\u2019 for the final season of Netflix\u2019s Cobra Kai, appearing in Part 2, which premiered November 15.<\/p>\n

We caught up with Bo to talk projects, downtime, and, of course, his favorite drinks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tell us about the projects you are working on.<\/h3>\n

I have a few projects that are developing screenplays I\u2019m attached to with talented casts and directors. I also run a non profit organization and two other businesses outside of my film work as well!<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With your busy schedule, what do you like to do with your downtime?<\/h3>\n

Shoot! Good question. Spending time with friends and family, walks in nature, travel, rock climbing, and of course skateboarding. The goal is to take breaks from decision making and the creative process to refresh.\u00a0 I like to clear my head and sort out my thoughts.<\/p>\n

When you go out to eat, where do you like to dine?<\/h3>\n

I honestly love to cook with friends and fam so I\u2019m not eating out that often, but let me think\u2026 I usually seek out good BBQ and local institutions. (Shout out to Bobby\u2019s BBQ in Aiken and Rodney Scott\u2019s in Charleston!)<\/em> I\u2019m passionate about the culinary arts. Places like the small town sandwich shop that serves food prepared with love are the spots I seek.<\/p>\n

What types of dishes do you typically order?<\/h3>\n

Ohhhh man! I am a sampler type of guy. If it\u2019s a new place, I want to try 2-3 of the staples. I suppose otherwise I\u2019m usually seeking a blue plate type of situation.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Any favorite bars?<\/h3>\n

Whoa good question! I gotta think\u2026 so many good ones. Let\u2019s throw some out there!\u00a0 No Name Pub in Big Pine Key, FL. If you can find it, you\u2019ll have a good time. Also, Loosies in the Bowery NYC. I think you\u2019re four stories deep, like below the subway, it\u2019s wild in there. Holy City Brewing and Revelry Brewing in Charleston, SC have the most amazing views of my favorite city and great pub fare. BLACK LBC is a fun bar to hit after skating. Good people, music and pool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

What drinks do you order when out? Favorite drink?<\/h3>\n

I usually go for beers. Modelo Especial or a local craft beer. I also love hazy IPAs, ranch waters, and am a huge fan of craft cocktails. When in need, I go for maybe a vodka Red Bull or an espresso martini. My little trick is after a few drinks or if I\u2019m DD I hit a cola\/dark soda in a whiskey glass with a lime. It keeps you in the social groove but also saves you from over indulging.<\/p>\n

Do you prepare drinks at home?<\/h3>\n

Honestly no! I wish I was more into mixology, but I respect the art. Maybe someone can show me some tricks. When I\u2019m at home it\u2019s usually a beer or wine with dinner.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tell us about your home bar. What is it stocked with?<\/h3>\n

A couple basics. I try to keep things available for friends to mix their own thing. Usually someone will bring by a bottle and leave it. I have fresh fruits, some sodas, juices, tequila, gin, vodka, and whiskey stocked. I\u2019m a fan of moonshine and like to get it pure then mix and age it myself. Apple pie is a go to, peach cobbler, grape, and the degen mix is dill pickles moonshine! Also a straight swig or two of pure (180+ proof\/white lightning)<\/em> with a beer is the best pregame!<\/p>\n

Have you ever been a bartender?<\/h3>\n

No but I have practiced while rehearsing for roles. I think it\u2019s an amazing skill. Something you\u2019ll have anywhere you go. I need a mentor.<\/p>\n

If you could share a drink with anyone, who would it be?<\/h3>\n

Geez, banger for the last question. Hmmm. Anyone! Dude I don\u2019t know. There are some amazing people that sharing a drink with would probably be legendary but I\u2019m going to have to go with my grandpa. He passed away when I was a kid. I\u2019d love to ask him a few questions over a beer. Thanks for having me!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
