I came from a huge extended family of musicians.

If you'd ever told me that my Broadway debut would be playing Spider-Man, I would have laughed in your face.

I really love young Tom Hanks. He's just one of my favorites. He's a great, quirky every-man. I also love Zach Braff. I really love actors that are quirky and interesting, that sort of try to portray 'normal' people.

I wanted to be a soccer player. And then I wanted to be a rabbi.

I'm at the National Theatre School, which is like the Juilliard of Canada.

For those that don't know much about 'American Idiot' or Green Day, just know that it's my generation's The Who's 'Tommy' or Pink Floyd's 'The Wall.' It was an album that really spoke to a generation. The theatrical show encapsulates that feeling and brings it to an even wider audience.

I grew up in Canada and was a huge Spider-Man fan, and never thought of Spider-Man as an American hero.
