years wasn't it absolutely I had one  of the best years in my life I can't

complain tell us about your last movie please  how did you react when they called you for the

movie well first I had to audition at a  casting it wasn't easy but I finally got  

the job all right but how do you know  about this movie who told you about

it my manager he told me there was a great  opportunity to be the main character in this

movie and I am fan of superheroes so I love  the idea that's why I decided to go to this  

casting you said you liked superheroes where  does this love for superheroes come from since  

I was a kid I loved Spider-Man Superman  all of them I was a huge fan I used to  

have a lot of toys with their faces my bed  in my room was decorated with superheroes  

and when Sam my manager told me there was  a chance to be Captain English I was so

happy Captain English without any doubt that is  your most famous character am I right actually  

you're right I acted in many movies but this  one was the most important for me excellent  

now now let's talk about yourself as an actor  what Productions did you act in before I was  

in Rhino man before it was also superhero  but not a famous one I didn't like it much  

I had the chance to participate in some  series too here in Hollywood and also in

Europe 5 years ago I acted in a famous  movie I played the role of a man with a  

terminal illness it was not the best movie  but I liked it much I could work with many  

famous actors and actresses very good I  want to know something did you attend a

conservatory you want to know if I  studied or not in an Institute um well

yeah I started acting and art in one  of the most famous universities in my  

country I loved it oh that's great  so do you have any formal dance

training sure I also took dancing lessons  there at the University it was very difficult  

but I made it I mean I am not the best  dancer but I can dance anything I am a

professional that's what I wanted to  hear and why did you want to become an

actor it is a fun story when I was  starting at this school I hated acting

seriously every time there was a contest I  refused to participate in it I didn't want to

act I can't believe it and how's that  possible how did you become an actor

then well I was very shy when I was in  the school I didn't use to talk to anyone

never I just stayed in the classroom when  I was on my break anyway my mother never  

liked it so one day she just decided  I had to go to one of these summer

workshops I wanted to go to Computing but  she refused so I had to go to the acting

class I felt so nervous the first time I  went there but when I had to act I did it  

very well or that's what the teacher  told me now I guess maybe he lied to

me anyway I liked it that was my  first experience acting and I loved  

it so I decided I was going to learn  everything about acting and now here I

am that's a nice story I  understand that you speak seven

languages yes that's true I can speak French  English Italian Portuguese Spanish ger and  

thigh wow that's impressive how did you manage  to learn so many languages I can't believe

it well that was all thanks to the acting thing  I participated in many plays and movies so we  

usually traveled to different countries  to show the movie or to play in a theater

I met a lot of people during these experiences  and thanks to that I can now speak many

languages you are impressive can you describe a  particularly difficult scene and how you prepared  

for it well there are many sins which were  difficult to perform but there is one I remember

I had to act in the middle of the snow  in South America yeah we travel there for

dine it was very difficult because I had to  train a lot before being able to work in those  

conditions we had a special training we went to  the gym strict diet I had to work hard to get it

wow I suppose so so being an actor is  not only about Fame and money isn't

it no of course not you have to work  hard dance speak many languages train

hard it's not easy to be an actor you know  but it is an amazing experience I must say
