Very busy young actor still makes time for fun, food and friends.

The next time the Walt Disney Co. “wishes upon a star,” that star just might be this busy 15-year-old who fills roles in three Disney productions. He’s Eddie in the sitcom “That’s So Raven,” the voice of Sticky on “The Proud Family” (both on the Disney Channel) and the lead voice actor on “Fillmore!,” the Saturday morning animated series on Disney-owned ABC-TV.

The way we roll

I’ve got four best friends -- Marcus, Marcus, Marquis and Curtis -- so we usually roll together. It’s either in my boy Curtis’ [Williams, “The Parent Hood”] burgundy Tahoe, with his mom in the passenger seat, or we roll in with Marcus [Paulk, “Moesha”] -- he’s got a black Explorer and a 500 Benz. Either way, we just roll so deadly we always have a good time.

Cruising the mall

We usually kick it around at the mall. Go to a movie. We go to South Bay Galleria, where we can see the movies then kick it with the girls.

But first we eat. You know, the Panda Express there has this beef and broccoli and chicken with peanut sauce that I get, with shrimp-fried rice and chow mein on the side. Oh yeah, it’s this big tray. I like to leave there fat and full.

Now, we get there in the afternoon and eat, then about 5:30 or 6, the girls start coming in, and I love it. They have my billboard in there for the “Raven” show so I get mobbed--”Oh, he’s the one on ‘Raven!’ ”

But I like that I get that much love. You know, I’m blessed.

Teen nights

Sometimes we go to the clubs -- there are some teen nightclubs, like Soda Pop on Crenshaw in Los Angeles and the Cadillac in Moreno Valley -- but I don’t really like to club. I like to keep it real.

And all day Sundays

Sunday is a mental day. I love to write my own music. And, yeah, on that music video for “Raven,” that’s really me rapping and singing. It’s all me -- now, I didn’t write the lyrics, but it’s my voice.

I’m working on a demo right now. I’m going to be shopping it around to [Disney-owned] Hollywood Records and other labels.

In fact, I want to start my own label, so I’m looking for artists and everything, but it’ll happen real soon.

Rap sampler

Here’s a little bit of my rap:

I’ll even sing butt naked, outside in the rain,

doing back flips like I can’t maintain.

Break a leg, kill the main vein to my brain,

and the moral is, I’ll die to entertain.

That’s real. I got one chance to show my lyrical skills,

and prove that I’m a Gotti

and I’m going to show you

the approximate rawness of this body.

Nobody in the game right now is as real as me

because I float like I’m beautiful

and sting like a killer bee.

-- Carolyn Patricia Scott
