I'm a huge movie buff, so I'm a fan of a lot of actors and actresses.
You're not allowed to mess up in theater, and if you do, it is going to be embarrassing. But in film, if you make a mistake you just do it over again. You can just do another take.
I was always a very indoor videogame nerd movie buff... Now I've come to appreciate Scouts and the outdoors.
I don't think I'd ever really survive the outdoors.
Before 'Moonrise,' I never thought I would be in a movie where I would be struck by lightning.
I am really indoors-y. I am a video game and movie buff, and this keeps me in my little boy cave.
I got a manager, and I thought, since I was going out on auditions, I should do this for a living. Then there was this moment on set when I realized I was having a lot of fun, and I really wanted to do this forever. I want to do different stuff, but I want it all to be just as good as this film. I want to be consistent.
I discovered I loved acting at a Summer Camp. That's when I really realised that I enjoyed it and that I wanted to try it.Collection: Summer

I started taking lessons in third grade because I thought it was a fun thing to do. Through my acting teacher, I got my manager. That was about 5th grade. So once that happened it kind of clicked that I probably should pursue acting as a career.Collection: Teacher
I think the technology today is so much more advanced that it gives kids a lot more freedom... Back then it was a lot different.Collection: Kids
I think kids are fairly similar. It's just really the technology. Like, you won't find kids in the 60s, or anyone for that matter, having mobile phones, texting, watching YouTube, and being absorbed in their technology.Collection: Kids
When I was just about to leave, and when I realised that I wasn't going to wake up in the morning and do this again - that was probably the hardest thing for me. Leaving this family that I'd created on set, with all the cast and the crew was very sad for me.Collection: Morning
It's funny how much you attach yourself to everyone around you when you film.Collection: Film
When I was taking my canoeing lessons I was given this oar to practice with, and I decided to have everyone sign it. All the cast and crew signed it and now I'm going to frame it.Collection: Practice
