Another movie that I loved being in was Nim's Island. The location was excellent. I loved spending time on the island. However, my most favorite part would have to be the fact that I did my own stunts. It was AMAZING. There was one point in the movie that I got to literally fly through the air. It was such a rush. Here's my favorite action shot.
My role in the 2003 movie "Holes" was one of my favorites. When Andrew Davis first discussed the part with me, he told me he'd love for me to play five poisonous lizards. But five deadly lizards quickly turned into 165 — even though it looks like there are tons of them, they are all me. I did each one individually. For example, in this scene there are about ten poisonous lizards. I acted out each one. Andrew would come and watch me play each part (we'd bring in stand-in lizards because I couldn't play them all at once). Andrew would watch me perform and then I would switch and do each of the separate roles. He told me I was the hardest working performer he knew in showbiz.
It was a great experience. I loved working with the cast, especially Sigourney Weaver (whom I have had a long time crush on ever since I saw her incredible performance in Alien) and Shia LaBeouf, who is an exceptional actor, very professional, and excellent to work with.
I have been sought after to star in a number of films. Sometimes the role speaks to me, but sometimes it doesn't. Quite often I am offered roles solely based on my looks, which is one of the pluses of being so terribly good looking.
One director saw the following picture of me (which clearly showcases my vast versatility as an actor), and offered me the starring role in Godzillla on the spot. Certainly I was flattered to be selected in such a way, but unfortunately, due to some scheduling conflicts I was unable to accept the part.
They were very set on me as the main actor and were devastated when I had to turn them down. As a compromise, I relented and allowed them to use portions of me as the model for the basis of their Godzilla monster design. I'm sure that you'll see the similarities.
In Sweden, I'm really famous. I was honored as a National Hero last time I was there. Check out the news coverage of that visit here.
One of the most common questions I get asked is, "How did you break into modeling?"
I have to respond that it all started the first time I was basking on my box in my new tank. I caught my reflection in the glass while I was sunning, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career." I knew from that point on that it was my calling to be professionally good looking.
I know some of you have felt like I've been holding out on you a little bit, so here are some full body shots of my earliest years modeling.
I have been modeling from a young age. I excelled at modeling even while asleep. Here is a photo of me as a young little tyke, sleeping on some blankets. I've been told I was so cute and small that everyone who saw me was afraid the crickets would eat me instead of the other way around!
robably hoping I'll grace you with a closeup of my childhood visage, so I won't disappoint you! Here is a picture of me in my sweet, innocent youth.
