It's nice to be playing a character who's never had a live-action version before.

I'm a little worried about a Batman versus Superman movie just because it's... I just think it's really tough to pull off. I'm very excited about seeing it, but I think it's really tough to balance those two characters in the same movie.

I like to do my research, get in the right mental state for the person I'll be portraying. A lot of time, it's just incorporating a lot of what that person would be into, into my daily routine.

I grew up watching Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, Batman. You name it, I was a huge fan. And that's what I used to play with my friends. We would have the masks and the swords and pretend we had super powers.

It's a really incredible time to be working in television.

A lot of my inspiration comes from the movies and TV, watching other people doing things that I one day hope to have the opportunity to do. The other sides would be my friends and family, people who have supported me and always been there for me. I want to do a good job for them and show them they were right for believing in me.

My friends and family definitely helped me with the biggest obstacle in my life, which was just staying in L.A. long enough to really give it a shot.

Every actor needs someone to take a chance on them.

Just being the first person to bring the character to life is really fun and exciting.
