“I didn’t even grow up with comic books. I grew up in Communism. I think that’s the bigger coincidence—that I ended up playing somebody that has a red star on their shoulder. [The move] was a long time ago, but at the same time I feel like it was the right age because I adapted pretty quickly. I had an accent and I was also so self-conscious—some people feel I still have an accent. But it got me to where I am today, and I’m happy it happened the way it happened.”
