Today's action hero, his skills are through technology. He can fly, he can throw a bolt of lightning, he can freeze people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just thought, 'I want to be an action hero.'
I like superheroes who are very human and underdog. That's why I relate to my character in 'A Flying Jatt': because he is a very normal person and very human. He was very unsure about his super powers; he didn't know how to use them. He is scared of heights, speed. Especially he is scared of his mom, but he has to listen to her.
Another hero was Tom Swift, in the books. What he stood for, the freedom, the scientific knowledge and being and engineer gave him the ability to invent solutions to problems. He's always been a hero to me. I buy old Tom Swift books now and read them to my own children.
What really helps a guy to become an action hero today is the directing of the movie. All those fast cuts.
I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
That's part of what always fascinated me about the Flash. Yes, he had superpowers, but he wasn't superhuman. He was vulnerable. He could be hurt or killed. He's not getting in a jet. He actually is the jet. So he had this gift, but with it came this risk. And I think that's what makes the character relatable.
The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference.
From when I was young, I wanted to be an action hero. I always dreamed about being an action star. So finally, I made it.
A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer.
A hero is a man who does what he can.
