Dimension Films is releasing a new movie, Spy
Kids, this March. Teen interviewer, Eve Richer, talked
to one of the young stars in the picture, Daryl Sabara,
about his acting career and what it was like to make a movie
with Antonio Banderas, Teri Hatcher and other well-known
stars. Here's what Daryl had to say.
Q: What made you want to start acting?
A: It's really fun and you get to meet a lot of new people
all the time.
Q: When did you start acting?
A: The first time I was ever on TV I was a baby. I was
on Murphy Brown.
Q: What was your favorite part about being in the movie
Spy Kids?
A: Everything. The stunts, gadgets, new experiences.
Q: How did it feel working with all those famous actors?
A: Awesome. Antonio Banderas was really nice. Alan Cumming
was great. I could sit hours watching them and learn a
lot. Carla Gugino was extraordinary. Alexa Vega was awesome
to work with.
Q: Do you plan on pursuing acting when you are older?
A: Maybe, but I'm not really sure what I want to be.
Q: How do you think your character on Spy Kids compares
to your personality?
A: Some of it is the same. For example Juni tries really
hard to be like Carmen. She can climb a jungle gym up
really high and not fall down. But Juni can only make
it half way.
Q: What kinds of things do you like to do for fun?
A: I like to go to the movies, play with my friends,
ride on my scooter. I go to school and I like to play
handball.
Q: What is your all-time favorite movie?
A: I really like Fantasy/Adventure movies. My favorites
are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Neverending Story,
Hook, and X-men.
Q: How did you get schooled while you were doing the
movie?
A: We had a studio teacher, and on breaks we would play
football. When we had a day out we would go tubing in
the river or go swimming.
Q: Does anyone act differently around you knowing that
you are in a big feature film?
A: Not really. I go to school and I still have to make
my bed and share my room with my brother and everything.
