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.

Cabin Fever was murder. There was a lot of psychological stress, like not knowing if we were going to finish the movie. The day we arrived to start rehearsals, our main investors pulled out.

Maybe that's the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot.

Maybe that's my lot in life as an actor, to be the guy who gets crapped on everywhere he goes. Oh God...

I spent four days and four nights just covered in blood, falling in the water.

I hope to always be doing some low budget things.

I don't know if child actors are necessarily more screwed up than most people.
