2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the release of the first Sharknado, and so far celebrations have included a screening on legendary movie host Joe Bob Briggs’ Shudder series The Last Drive-In and an all-day Sharknado franchise marathon on Syfy. If that wasn’t enough, The Asylum has now announced that they’ll be giving the movie a two-day theatrical re-release on August 15th and 16th! A new, Barbie-inspired poster has been created to promote this theatrical re-release, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article. The Hollywood Reporter got the exclusive first look at the poster.
Sharknado has been “fully remastered with hundreds of new special effects” for this event. The trailer for the re-release, which you can watch in the embed above, promises this version of the movie will deliver new kills, new thrills, more sharks, and more ‘nado.

Exclusive: Vertical Entertainment has acquired North American rights to Chris Naoki Lee’s feature directorial debut, Dinner Party, in which he stars alongside Kara Wang (Top Gun: Maverick), Imani Hakim (Mythic Quest) and Kausar Mohammed (The Flash). The global indie distributor has slated the pic for a day-and-date release on August 19.
Inspired by Lee’s own experiences growing up in a diverse community outside of Los Angeles, the indie ensemble drama follows Izzy (Hakim) and boyfriend Cal (Lee) as they go to a casual reunion dinner party amongst Cal’s childhood friends 10 years after high school. The friends navigate socially sensitive topics, though some fall on deaf ears when it comes to the hyper-masculine Miles (Charles Hittinger). It doesn’t take long for Izzy to notice that Shannon (Wang), co-host and childhood friend to the boys, seems uncomfortable around Miles, as the film simmers into a slow burn that erupts in the final act.

Actor Christopher Naoki Lee, whose credits include AMC’s The Terror and Fox’s Deputy, is set to make his feature directorial debut with the socially-minded pic Dinner Party which he co-wrote with Greek alum Daniel Weaver.
Lee also stars in the film which, as the title suggests, centers on a dinner party with a group of diverse Millennials. As they dine and converse, a verdict arrives for a controversial trial regarding sexual misconduct that has captivated the nation — a very timely topic considering the recent Weinstein verdict. As a result the dinner party turns into a moment for all the attendees to look at their own histories and determine whether the friendship that binds them can withstand their differences, especially when they realize one of their own is guilty of a past transgression.

HollywoodLife.com got the scoop on Lifetime’s latest ‘Nightmare,’ from the movie’s bright young star, Peyton List.
Fans of Peyton List, 15, are used to seeing her as bubbly fashionista Emma on Disney Channel’s Jessie – but there’s no laugh track attached to her latest project, the Lifetime original movie A Sister’s Nightmare, premiering Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. HollywoodLife.com spoke with Peyton about taking on such a dramatic role, including what it was like learning how to drown!

>> Viewers are used to seeing you on Jessie, which is much lighter than this movie. Did you enjoy getting to take on a more dramatic role?
Before I started Jessie, I was on a more dramatic route. So it was sort of weird for me, doing Wimpy Kid and then Jessie. I had a lot of fun doing A Sister’s Nightmare.

It's the movie everybody's talking about. Since premiering on SyFy on July 11, Asylum's Sharknado has quickly transcended its B-movie schlock-horror roots and become a bonafide cultural phenomenon. Ratings have soared on repeat viewings, it's heading to cinemas for special midnight screenings and celebrities from Mia Farrow to Wil Wheaton joined in as it became a social media phenomenon.
Tara Reid is at the centre of the mayhem as April Wexler, who reunites with her estranged husband Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) as a freak tornado sends sharks hurtling through Los Angeles. As the film gets ready for its Us cinema debut and UK broadcast on SyFy, Digital Spy got on the phone with Tara to talk fear of fins, John and Edward's almost-cameo and taking Sharknado 2 to New York.

We’ve I’ve seen it all—Dinoshark, Sharktopus, Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus, Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus. But to all Syfy television leeches’ delights, The Asylum managed to plug new variables into its inexplicably successful science-fiction-monster-attack formula. Thursday’s premiere was simply disaster times three: a natural disaster, an oceanic creature capable of disaster, and a Hollywood disaster (but you’ll always hold a special place in our hearts, Tara Reid).

Chuck gives HollywoodLife.com the scoop on 'Stalked At 17,' premiering Saturday, Oct. 27, at 8 p.m. Forget everything you thought you knew about Chuck Hittinger. He may have gotten your attention as Hanna's squeaky-clean boyfriend Sean on Pretty Little Liars, but "pretty" isn't a word I'd used to describe his new role in the upcoming Lifetime movie Stalked At 17. "[Chad is] a charming young man in his early twenties who's had a lot of issues in his past," Chuck tells HollywoodLife.com. "He's dealing with those issues throughout the movie, which leads him to kidnap a young girl and impregnate her." Like I said, not pretty. "He desperately wants to start a family because he didn't have one growing up," Chuck explains. ABC Family fans will feel extra uncomfortable while they watch, because Chad's girlfriend — slash unwitting victim — is played by Melissa and Joey star Taylor Spreitler. And even though the part...

Tell us which Rosewood resident is making the biggest blips on your 'A'-dar! Of all the many, Many questions posed by Pretty Little Liars over the years, the biggest one of all has always been the most simple: Who the f@$* is "A?" And it turns out we won't have to wait too much longer, as executive producer Marlene King tells Entertainment Weekly that his/her/their identity will be revealed on the March 19 season finale.

I never had to go through an entire semester or term of sex ed. In fact all I had to learn about sex came from me sneaking into a theater to watch American Pie. You know movie hopping. And I remember the poster for American Pie as much as the movie itself. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the American Reunion poster looks vaguely similar to the first movie poster for American Pie.
While the first American Pie poster had a lot of skin and boob, this one doesn’t Look at the American Reunion title blocking Tara Reid’s chest, now look at the America Pie poster, see the difference? The American Reunion poster also shows the history that has happened between this movie and the first one.

[1] Since so much of the appeal of American Reunion lies in whatever lingering affection you have for 1999's American Pie, it's only natural that the marketing folks would try at every turn to remind you of how much you loved the first movie. That tactic is especially evident in the film's just-released poster, which recreates the one from the original. Sure, Jim (Jason Biggs) has clothes on, Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) is holding a baby bottle instead of a flute, Oz (Chris Klein) has way less hair, and the gang is apparently eating pies now instead of fucking them -- but the overall picture looks very familiar. Check it out after the jump. Here's the American Reunion poster: [2] And for comparison, the American Pie one: [3][both posters via Movies.com [4]] I'm really hoping that the substitution of a baby bottle for the flute doesn't imply that Michelle will be doing to the former in this installment...

[1] Tough as it is to believe, it's been over a decade since we first met the American Pie cast in 1999. If that made you pause and think "Wow, that makes me feel old," you're just where Universal Pictures wants you to be. The marketing team behind American Reunion has been pushing the nostalgia angle (not surprisingly), and I, for one, have found it totally effective. Their latest effort is a montage of the core cast goofing off inside a photobooth -- a simple idea that might nevertheless have you going "awww" as each familiar face flashes by. Hit the jump to see the slideshow, plus a promo image of the Class of 1999. And here's a small still of the old gang: [2] [via Vulture [3]] Seeing everyone together again, it's striking how some of the actors look exactly the same while others have changed considerably. Kind of like at a real high school reunion,...

Universal Pictures have released an early teaser poster for the eagerly-awaited (at least by me) sequel, American Reunion, aka American Pie 4, which comes from the writer/director duo of Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg and sees original series stars Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Chris Klein, Eugene Levy, Tara Reid, Shannon Elizabeth, Mena Suvari, and Natasha Lyonne all return, alongside franchise newcomers Chuck Hittinger, Jay Harrington, Ali Cobrin, Dania Ramirez, and Katrina Bowden.
In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed,...

The alumni of East Great Falls are heading home for their 10 year high school reunion in the next (and possibly final) installment of the American Pie film franchise from Universal Pictures. The original trilogy -- that ended in 2003 with American Wedding -- is a franchise which spawned the resurgence of teen sex comedies. Although many original cast members were absent from even the third film, Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Chris Klein, Eugene Levy, Tara Reid, Shannon Elizabeth, Mena Suvari, Natasha Lyonne, Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jennifer Coolidge are all tapped to return for American Reunion. Newcomers Chuck Hittinger, Jay Harrington, Ali Cobrin, Dania Ramirez, and Katrina Bowden will also star. Aside from the cast listing, the film's official...

[1] We're already aware of many of the plot points that'll be covered in American Reunion, the forthcoming eighth(!) installment of the American Pie franchise. Basically, the new film will see the whole gang from the first film come together once more for their high school reunion. Some things will have changed; other things not so much. (I'm going to guess that the gross, raunchy humor will be part of the "not so much" category.) Now a new synopsis has been revealed, and it reveals just one more tidbit: Apparently, one of the characters is still pining for a certain lusty lady whom he bedded in the original American Pie. (Um, spoilers for a twelve-year-old movie.) Read the studio-approved official plot details after the jump.

[1] Inglourious Basterds and Beginners actress Melanie Laurent is set to star opposite Jesse Eisenberg in Louis Leterrier's magician heist movie Now You See Me. The story revolves around FBI agents hunting down a group of world-famous bank-robbing magicians (sorry, illusionists [2]) who shower their audiences with the stolen cash. Jake Gyllenhaal, who was previously offered [3] a role, has since passed. No news has been announced regarding either Philip Seymour Hoffman or Olivia Wilde, who were also circling parts in the film. The involvement of Laurent and Eisenberg seems like a good sign, though -- both actors have good track records, and are probably big and respected enough to help draw in other high-quality talent.

With Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Chris Klein, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nichols, Eugene Levy and the rest of the American Pie regulars set to return, the cast of American Reunion, the fourth installment in the American Pie franchise, is expanding.
Deadline reports that Jay Harrington (Better Off Ted) and Ali Cobrin (The Hole) have joined the cast. Harrington will play the doctor boyfriend of Mena Suvari's character and Cobrin will play a high school senior looking to give away her virginity to the perfect guy. While we're sure that Stifler (Scott) will try his best to prove his worth, so might Chuck Hittinger.
Variety reports Hittinger (Pretty Little Liars) has been cast as Marco, a high school jock and bully who doesn't treat his girlfriend well. Could Hittinger's girlfriend be Cobrin? It's likely, but unconfirmed.
Katrina Bowden (30 Rock, the upcoming Piranha 3Dd) has also joined the cast, Variety reports separately.

First thought upon hearing the plot for the just-announced comedy Save the Date: "another goddamn wedding movie?" First thought after seeing the cast: "I can't believe I'm going to be excited to see another goddamn wedding movie!" The script focuses on two sisters and their approaches to life and marriage: "one who's happy with the status quo and doesn't see any reason to marry her musician boyfriend while the other's obsessed with planning her upcoming wedding." (Melancholia much?) But the cast is already impressive: Alison Brie (Community, Mad Men) and Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls, Party Down) play the sisters and Marin Starr (Adventureland, Party Down), Geoffrey Arend (Super Troopers) and Mark Weber (Scott Pilgrim) are the supporting cast we've got so far. And I don't need any more than that -- ticket sold. The script is by graphic novelist Jeffrey Brown, and Mike Mohan will direct the film in July in La.

Our ‘Pll’ special correspondant makes her case for Caleb — but which brooding bachelor is Your favorite?
Pretty Little Liars‘ Tyler Blackburn is so much more than just the elusive, troubled “bad boy” love interest of Ashley Benson’s Hanna. He’s scruffy, but cute; a delinquent, yet keenly intelligent. It’s hard not to fall for him, and personally, I can’t wait for him to be back in Rosewood next season!
So what makes Tyler’s Caleb so desirable? His looks are definitely part of the appeal. Unlike some of the more boyish actors on the show, he’s a little rougher looking, less styled, less pretty. He’s a nice change of pace from Ian Harding’s Ezra, who is almost too gorgeous with his whitened teeth and perfectly coiffed ‘uncoiffed’ hair.
What drew me to Caleb was his rebellious nature and personality. He matched Hanna’s wit...

So some of you "Pretty Little Liars" fans may have recently found yourselves asking, "Where have they been hiding Sean (Chuck Hittinger) and Lucas (Brendan Robinson)? They've been gone for awhile now." Well, guess what? We have the answer -- they've been drinking with Zap2it!
We caught up with Chuck and Brendan over drinks at The Spanish Kitchen in L.A. -- Drinking With The Stars style -- where we talked about many things, including fake-fighting, destroying memorials (Sorry, Alison -- Lucas' blunder!) and who is the best guy for Hanna.
But first, we had to find out what they think their respective characters have been up to off-screen (you know, besides developing crushes on possible lesbians). Brendan says Lucas is "pouting, probably. Brooding, planning his attack on the world. No, no, sorry. I meant like, taking over the world. That did not sound good."
Chuck, however, thinks Sean...

Hanna put the ‘Is Jenna really blind?’ rumor to bed with a mighty slap in the ladies room.
This might seem kind of insensitive, but I’ve always felt that the girls don’t take advantage of Jenna’s (Tammin Sursok) blindness nearly as much as they should. She’s evil, so it’s kind of merited. Well, I got my potentially offensive wish on the March 7 episode when Hanna (Ashley Benson) cornered the visually-challenged vixen in the bathroom and slapped her around. She did it for revenge, but I think it was also for all that creepy flute playing.
No, here’s why Hanna was really pissed: She found an owl pendant in Caleb’s (Tyler Blackburn) bag and assumed it was a gift for her, but she soon realized it was actually a flash drive he was giving to Jenna. And when the girls overheard Caleb talking to another girl about Hanna,...

With only three episodes left until the season finale of ‘Pretty Little Liars,’ things are more intense than ever in Rosewood — and a lot more confusing.
The March 7 episode begins with poor Hana (Ashley Benson) gushing about what a great relationship she has with Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) — but her tune quickly changes when the girls tell her they heard Caleb on the phone with another girl!
And just when you thought Sean (Chuck Hittinger) couldn’t get any more clueless — he’s back, by the way — he asks Emily (Shay Mitchell) if Paige (Lindsey Shaw) is single! Her clever response: “We swim for the same team, but I don’t know her very well.”
Meanwhile, Spencer (Troian Bellisario) remains one of the police’s biggest suspects in Alison’s (Sasha Pieterse) murder. Can Toby (Keegan Allen) and his washboard abs help her clear her name?

I hope you all like Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) on Pretty Little Liars, because you’re about to see a lot more of him — literally.

So will Caleb get his eye-full of Hanna anytime soon? “Maybe eventually…” Tyler teases to HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “Kind of a ‘You show me yours, I’ll show you mine’ kind of deal.”
And who better than Tyler, himself, to explain what makes Hanna and Caleb (Haleb?) work so well:

Lindsey dishes on Paige & Emily’s definite future — and last week’s big (‘awkward’) kiss!
If you thought Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Paige’s (Lindsey Shaw) surprise kiss on the Feb. 14 episode of Pretty Little Liars was intense, just wait — it’s only getting better from here! “She’s going to explore this avenue with Emily, sometimes voluntarily and other times with a lot of resistance and fear,” Lindsey tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
“She goes back and forth between opening herself up to the experience and then reverting back to ‘How can I do this? This isn’t who I am.’ We get to watch her struggle with that. … You’re going to feel how deep the emotion is and how much they grow to care for each other.”
Now that viewers know Emily is just tortured, rather than crazy — I’ve already forgiven her for attempting to drown Emily...

Rosewood’s resident ‘Liars’ have all found themselves in forbidden romances — just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Aria (Lucy Hale) finally ended her cold war with Hanna (Ashley Benson) on the Feb. 14 episode of Pretty Little Liars, forgiving her for nearly exposing her affair. And their re-friendship couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time, as the mystery behind Alison’s murder is only getting more intense! This week’s clue came in the form of a Braille message, spelling out the numbers 2-1-4. We later learn it’s the number of a specific room at a shady motel in Rosewood, but the question is… what happened there?
Unfortunately, not every feud was squashed this week. The rivalry between Emily (Shay Mitchell) and Paige (Lindsey Shaw) intensified when Paige’s dad accused the school of giving Emily preferential treatment on the swim team because she’s a lesbian.

Forget Noel Kahn — the real threat to Ezria’s relationship may be none other than Aria’s mom, Ella!
Aria’s (Lucy Hale) forbidden relationship with English teacher Ezra (Ian Harding) has always had obstacles to face on Pretty Little Liars, but it might just be hitting its most bizarre hurdle yet — her mom, Ella (Holly Marie Combs!) “Byron recognizes Ezra is a very enigmatic person, and perhaps his wife has taken a shine to him,” Chad Lowe tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
Chad continues: “He needs to have a ‘how come and what for’ with Ezra to make sure he understands that Ella is a married woman.”

The Feb. 7 episode was all about enemies becoming friends… and friends becoming enemies!
Everyone on Pretty Little Liars is forced to keep up a charade at one point or another, but one of our girls couldn’t maintain hers any longer: Hanna (Ashley Benson) finally came clean to Aria (Lucy Hale) about giving her mom (Holly Marie Combs) the museum ticket, nearly exposing her and Mr. Fitz’s (Ian Harding) relationship! And as you might expect, it ended in a fiery argument, complete with death-glares and hair-flips But the question is: Whose side are You on?
It also appears that Aria isn’t the only Montgomery hiding a secret relationship. During a late-night stakeout at school, Aria and Hanna caught her mom and dad (Chad Lowe) making out… in the library! But that’s not the only discovery the girls made at school that night; they also learned that Caleb...

Plus, ‘The Facts Of Life’ legend Mrs. Garrett returns as an insane bead lady on the Jan. 31 episode of ‘Pretty Little Liars!’
Desperate to figure out the identity of the mysterious “shadow” who was photographed chasing Alison (Sasha Pieterse) the night she disappeared, the Liars turned to none other than Alison’s brother, Jason (Parker Bagley.) And in the end, the girls found the answers to all the questions they’d been looking for…
But the biggest bombshell of all didn’t come from Jason. All he did was reveal Ian’s (Ryan Merriman) “big secret”: He’s a stoner, which in the grand scheme of things is no big deal. No, the big reveal came from Spencer (Troian Bellisario), who told the girls that She was the shadow in the photograph, chasing Alison to apologize after a fight.

It was a night of breakups, breakdowns and two new (highly suspicious) characters. Tell us what you thought of tonight’s episode!
When Spencer’s (Troian Bellisario) laptop went missing on the Jan. 24 episode of Pretty Little Liars, all fingers pointed at possible-murderer Ian (Ryan Merriman) — and why wouldn’t they? The girls know he was with Alison the night she died, and they’ve got pretty solid evidence that he may have killed her himself. Personally, I’m not exactly scared of Ian — but that’s only because I can’t stop picturing him as the tiny leprechaun in that Disney Channel movie. Who else remember that?
But all merriment aside, Ian’s not the only guy in Rosewood I’m worried about. This week we met Caleb (Tyler Blackburn), a know-it-all loner in a wool-knit cap. He had a run-in of sorts with all of the Liars, but...

"Careful What U Wish 4" was a big episode for "Pretty Little Liars" stars Chuck Hittinger and Brendan Robinson. "A" decided to cause some major trouble for Hanna (Ashley Benson) by making her toy with both Lucas and Sean's affections.
"I think both of us think it's something different than it actually is," says Robinson. "I don't think Hanna knows where it's gonna go either. She is clearly a confused mess."
"And who knew that 'A' would stir up so much trouble?" asks Hittinger.
"And we're totally oblivious to the whole thing," adds Robinson
"Lucas thinks he's got a chance," says Hittinger. "He's like, 'Alright, I'm in' and she's like, 'I'm leaving.'"
"It's really unfortunate," Robinson laughs.
"And I'm ditched, yet again, at a dance ... I think I might have to [stop going with Hanna], I should just go by myself," laughs Hittinger.

Who do You think Hanna belongs with: Sean, Lucas, or someone new? Chuck Hittinger (Sean) weighs in.
While the Pretty Little Liars spend most of their free time gasping, texting, and cowering in fear of their mysterious blackmailer(s) “A,” let’s not forget — these girls have love lives, too! And the murder-mystery drama has seriously taken its toll on Hanna’s (Ashley Benson) hot-and-cold relationship with her Knight in Virginal Armor, Sean (Chuck Hittinger.) So is there any hope for the future of this perilous pair?
“As much as I want Sean to tune in and realize how she’s feeling, he has a lot of difficulty doing that,” Chuck tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. ”Think about everything Hanna’s going through — the last thing she needs is a boyfriend that is just not getting it.”
For those of you who have screamed at your TVs during the show, furious...

Zap2it dropped by the set of "Pretty Little Liars" a few months ago and we were lucky enough to join stars Chuck Hittinger and Brendan Robinson in Chuck's trailer for a quick Q&A. They tell us that things get pretty juicy when the show returns from its midseason hiatus.
"I can say that while Hanna's in the hospital, Lucas does pay a visit. We'll see what happens with that. It gets interesting," teases Robinson.
"And I can say that Sean doesn't like it very much," adds Hittinger.
While Robinson and Hittinger are friends in real life, the pair tells us that the tension between their characters keeps escalating.
"For Sean and Lucas, there is a confrontation," says Robinson. "They do cross paths at some point and it gets really juicy."
Intriguing! And they also tease a bit about some new information and new characters we're going to get when the show returns.

"Pretty Little Liars" comes back in January 2011, but production is already going full steam ahead on the second half of Season 1. Check out this official production still from the first episode when the show returns, titled "Moments Later."
Hanna (Ashley Benson) is in the hospital after her hit-and-run. We're sure nobody thought they'd kill her off, but it's nice to get confirmation. It does look like she broke her leg, though. More intriguing is the fact that Alison (Sasha Pieterse) is with her, dressed as a candy striper. A dream on Hanna's part? Or something else?
So far, based on tweets from the actors, we know that Keegan Allen, Brant Daugherty, Brendan Robinson and Chuck Hittinger are all returning to the show, which is very exciting. Are you guys ready for "Pretty Little Liars" to come back?

"Pretty Little Liars" penultimate episode, "The Perfect Storm," traps everyone at school. Ashley Benson tells Zap2it that it will not end well for one of the girls.
"A huge secret gets out for one of the main girls," says Benson. "We all have to take our SATs, so everybody's stuck at school. There's certain people that come into the school where we're all stuck. Detective Wilden, anytime he's around ... there's just a lot of things that happen that shouldn't ... It kind of destroys somebody."
Detective Wilden (Bryce Johnson) isn't the only problem in Hanna's life, though. She has a budding love triangle with her boyfriend Sean (Chuck Hittinger) and friend Lucas (Brendan Robinson).
"Right now [Hanna and Lucas are] trying their friendship. They know what it was like to be the outcasts ... she saw what Alison did to him, she's a huge support system for him," Benson explains. "I know a lot of...

In Part Two of Chuck Hittinger's cherry-popping interview on the set of "Pretty Little Liars," the guy who plays Homecoming Hottie Sean Ackard spills all about his favorite summertime activities.
Chuck tells Zap2it that he's definitely a beach guy and his swimwear of choice is board shorts. But he's not a surfer. Instead -- "I do yak boarding. It's basically like a kayak and you'll take it out past the break and you can ride a wave in. It's pretty much the easy man's surfing. Less risk involved," he laughs.
He also says that playing Frisbee and tossing the ol' pigskin around are fun, but his favorite summertime activities are hiking and "just driving around." And while Chuck is doing his fun-in-the-sun activities, his treats of choice are "beer. Definitely beer." and "ice cream. Double chocolate."

He also says that playing Frisbee and tossing the ol' pigskin around are fun, but his favorite summertime activities are hiking and "just driving around." And while Chuck is doing his fun-in-the-sun activities, his treats of choice are "beer. Definitely beer." and "ice cream. Double chocolate."

Honestly, it's one of those things where I think the right part came around at the right time ... I'm really thankful that I had the opportunity to embody him and bring him to life."
"There's a lot of Lucas that is in me," he continues. "I think probably 75% of Lucas is straight-up...
