I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.

I have very happy memories of fairy tales. My mother used to take me to the library in Toronto to check out the fairy tales. And she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales.
