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.
