Invisible Boy was fun. Everybody else's character, they knew where they were at already as a superhero. But invisible boy's character, you kind of grow up with him within the movie.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
He felt like the invisible boy. When he got to be part of the mystery Men he felt like he had a purpose.
I was always a fan of Spider-Man and most superheroes. There aren't a whole lot of little boys out there that aren't.
I've always loved movies and animation. When I was little, I was always pretending to be some alter ego superhero. For years it was Ultraman, ninjas, Spiderman and other cool super heroes.
The comics I read as a kid were much more influenced by TV and movies. Encountering superheroes as an adult without that kind of childhood sentimentality, it just doesn't allow you, or in my case at least, it wouldn't let me take the characters seriously.
I haven't done a lot of things in my career that my kids can watch, because they are 8, 6 and 3, and they are pretty young; so given the concepts that the film was about a superhero, it was a black superhero, and it was a father and son type partnership.
Playing a superhero was an acting challenge for me. It was fun.
I always aspire to that, where it feels like the film was made by the characters as opposed to the filmmakers. I try to be invisible.
I've always loved superheroes, and I'm sure every single kid out there is gonna love these superheroes and want to see 'Shark Boy and Lava Girl'... and the fact that it's in 3-D.
As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.
I've never done a superhero movie. It's very nice to you as an actor in several worlds to go and to experiment.
