I can now shed the child-actor thing, like the fat, and start a new career, because no one sees me as Dudley.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do look a bit different because Dudley was a very piggish character and about three years ago I lost quite a considerable amount of weight. It means that I can lead a normal life without the baggage of people running after me and shouting things at me.
I didn't want to be a former child actor for the rest of my life, although in some ways I suppose I am. I am going to be that.
After an 18-year career, I left the film industry, not wanting to become one of those child-actor cautionary tales.
I am not sure how much Dudley will feature just because of the grand scale of the film and the fact that there are so many stories and characters to tie up. I haven't seen the film yet but I think it will be a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but it was nice just to round it off and give it some closure.
I have changed so much as an actor over the years.
Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.
I've never really felt like I was a child actor. Just an actor who happened to be quite young.
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
I've wanted to be an actor ever since I was a little boy.
I have a career I am proud of as a child actor. I'm not running away from it or embarassed with anything I did.
