A long time ago, in a country not so far away, I was eight years old, doing my best Darth Vader imitation.

I have read articles about me where a reporter has exaggerated something that I communicated, but I wouldn't say there's ever been a lie told about me.

Look, I'm just this kid from Toronto who got his start in school plays. I still live with my folks who make me mow the grass and take the garbage out. Then one day, I'm on this multimillion dollar set surrounded by R2D2 and C3PO. Every nuance was surreal. The saber. A thrill. The outfit and cloak? Mind-boggling. Meeting R2D2. An out-of-body experience.

I wish they taught green screen acting classes.

I don't see how you can give someone who lied to the extent that he did a second chance in the same line of work.

Between takes I find it difficult to switch off and then try and re-emerge myself in the part, so I try to stay in that frame of mine all day. It can be exhausting and you lose a sense of self, but it is the method that works best for me.

I try to stay away from the L.A. scene as much as possible. I feel it helps me to better prepare for my roles if I am not too involved in that whole thing.
