Loveday started shooting commercials for the Bank of Clovis after he became the youngest winner in a kids search audition with three other students that all eventually relocated. He enjoyed doing the commercials so much that he would continue to shoot commercials for eight years. Loveday wrapped up his final commercial on Aug. 4.

He and his family will move to be closer to family this summer.

What has been one of your most memorable moments shooting commercials for the Bank of Clovis?

There was one commercial where I was working at the bank at my desk and my mom told me to ask Randy Harris about their summer fun plan. I thought she bought a boat or 4-wheeler but it turned out to be a minivan. It was the only commercial with my sister in it so it’s my favorite.

What’s your idea of a perfect day?

If I had a perfect day I would probably be watching TV and playing video games all day. I’d maybe go outside — which is a small possibility — and play with my sister.

Do you have a favorite joke? If so, tell it.

My dad told me this one: Why did the cowboy get a wiener dog? Answer: Because his friend told him to “get along little doggie.”

What’s your favorite TV show?

“Running Wild with Bear Grylls” It’s a survival show where famous celebrities are taken out of their luxurious lives and cast into the wilderness for 2 days with no tents or anything. They have to hunt ford food and everything.

Do you remember ever being nervous doing the commercials?

Yes, I was very nervous. I had never been on TV before. I would like to do more in television. I’d like to do more commercials and star on TV shows.

What is your favorite song?

“Push It to the Limit” by Corbin Bleu.

Tell us about your pet(s).

I have 3 dogs. Raider is a Beagle, Susie is a Golden Retriever mix and Padme is a German Shepherd mix. Oh, and I have a turtle named Flash. Padme is the most hyper and jumps a lot.

What is the best gift you ever received?

My Christmas gift from the Bank of Clovis last year. I received a drone. I’ve had a lot of great gifts in my life but the drone is one favorite.

What’s your favorite taste?

The taste of bacon.

What’s your favorite smell?

The smell of bacon frying.

What do you think you’ll be when you grow up?

I want to be a chef at my own Italian restaurant …pure Italian food and nothing else.
