Maybe that's my lot in life as an actor, to be the guy who gets crapped on everywhere he goes. Oh God...
I don't know if child actors are necessarily more screwed up than most people.
I'd much rather do one or two takes of one thing and then see how it goes.
I spent four days and four nights just covered in blood, falling in the water.
To have an opportunity to make a movie like Cabin Fever, you have to get stuff thrown on you or you have to fall into a pit of water. It brings you that much closer to your mindset as a character.
Maybe that's the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot.
