ing something together, and then at
the end of the thing we are both on
either sides of our bed and there’s
a line in between, so it’s like a divide
sign, which was really interesting.
So it’s like a very... interesting kinda
film and I think one of the most artistic
things I had done when I was
a kid, and I understood it all. I really
gravitated towards it and understood
it for some reason, and that
was a thing that has always stuck
with me because it was so artistic
and so let field and not the average
thing and I pulled a lot from
that. I pulled a lot from the lady who
played our mother, her name’s Sarah
Clarke. She played the mom in
Twilight and she’s done a bunch of
other stuff. But she was great and
we just learned so much at such a
young age, and that’s another thing.
We got to play such specific, interesting
characters at a young age,
which is quite a treat. You usually
get one dimensional characters
when you’re a kid. It’s hard to find
really good characters. Anyway, I
could keep going on about that.
P: That’s fine. That’s the problem
with independent films. They come
out and you can see them for a little
while and then they just disappear.
D: Exactly, but they’re so worth it
to find. If you can find the film festivals
or figure out a way to watch
them they’re so interesting. It’s hard
because the mass majority of people...
not people that are invested in
all movies, people who just want to
see something that’s going to wow
them or have them escape, it’s like
space stuff, it like the big stuff right
now, super hero films which is all
great, but independent films just
don’t get the light of day because
they get so serious and close to
real life that it’s like... people are trying
to watch movies cos they wanna
escape from what’s going on in
their life and see something fantasy
and wonderful, or just something
to get them out of their space. So
that’s why the mass majority of
films are what they are. That’s why
those genres are kinda popular,
whereas independent films can get
into touchy subjects, they get into
things you don’t want to watch after
a bad day at work and that kind
stuff. So that’s why they don’t really
get the time of day, but you can
still find them, and it’s about finding
them, so I understand that as well.
That’s just the way that it is.
P: Which kinda leads me to my last
question. Would you return to the
DC universe? A lot of actors who
were in DC, Adam West, he came
back, guest starring in different
things like Lois and Clarke. Brandon
Routh is currently in a DC universe
TV show. Would you come back?
D: Yeah, definitely. I always really
liked Teen Titans, so I would love
to do something for Teen Titans so
hopefully one day they do something
with that. I don’t know if they
plan on it, but that would be a cool
thing to do. I guess the answer’s
yes, and I also thought, the series
Batman Beyond, with the red and
black suit. What’s the character’s
name?
P: Not sure off the top of my head.
D: I can’t remember either, but I
would love to do a live action version
of that cos that cartoon was so
cool to me when I was a kid, cos I always
liked seeing when people took
super heroes and they changed.
They took a turn from the classic.
P: So an evolution?
D: Yeah, an evolution. All sorts of
stuff like that is interesting, like I
watched Ben 10 when I was a kid.
In Ben 10 you could go on and you
could create your own alien and
that was your super power. That
was so cool to me.
P: Did you watch Ryan (Kelley) in
the Ben 10 movie?
D: I just found out like, yesterday
he was in Ben 10! *laughs* I didn’t
even know. Now I gotta go back and
watch it because I really am interested
to see. Because I remember
watching it when I was little but I
had no idea. And also Ryan’s way
more buff then he probably was on
Ben 10.
Ryan (in the background): I was
skinny as F#$* *laughs*
P: Well, thank you very much for
your time Dylan, it’s been a pleasure.
D: Thank you so much, I really appreciate
it.
