Thank goodness for me this technology exists, because it's the only way that his story would get told like this.
That's why Ged is perfect for an actor because he's the hero, but not a classic hero in the sense that he does good all the time.
Getting to play superheros is a pretty good job.
I would love to be able to pursue music as a career but honestly, I'm just not good enough.
Why would people spend good money to have my pants?
We were out in the country running for a lot of the shoot,
Some people talk about screen kisses being strange or uncomfortable. But I think that I got along with Anna well enough that it just happened; it was a fun day of shooting.
I didn't discover Terry until I was 10 years old, he was a legend by that time,
Obviously I think Vancouver definitely enjoyed our time there, a lot of money was brought into the city, and it was just exciting.
Right now I'm looking for the next thing, I'm taking my time finding something that really fits for me, I want to try something different from X-Men.
One of the things I was really concerned about was having enough time to train and get the physical aspects of the character down. For Canadians especially, it's such an important image to all of us, it's something that's very recognized. I just wanted to make sure that I had time to do that properly, because if that wasn't right, then people would not necessarily be able to connect.
So it wasn't actually that bad, it took a couple of weeks to sort of get used to uh, you know, standing around and pretending to have ice shoot out of your hand, but once you got used to that it uh, it was actually not that hard.
It doesn't get more iconic than Terry Fox.
I think Ian McKellen made it all happen, because he used to throw dinner parties and invite everyone over.
