“I remember going to Bob Preston's dressing room because I was losing a laugh - as you do in a long run. He said, 'Give me the script. That's where you're going off the road.' That's comedy.

“It took me three, four years, to get from my first film to my second film, banging on doors, trying to get people to give me a chance.

“I think a lot of times it just looks like Hollywood actors in Halloween costumes, you know? And I think what we’re going to do with Fantastic Four is going to be very grounded and it made sense to me. When I read the script, I didn’t feel like I was reading this larger-than-life, incredible superhero tale. These are all very human people that end up having to become I guess what is known as the Fantastic Four. So for me it was just a really good story and gives me an opportunity to play something different from my own skin. It’s a proper character and that’s my favorite stuff to do.” PeopleThinkingKnowsGivingFeelsHumansLooksMadeDifferentEndsPlayCharacterStoriesReadingActorsOpportunityStuffMy OwnKnownFourHollywoodSkinsGive MeIncrediblesMy FavoriteScriptsTalesFantasticHalloweenGroundedCostumesSuperheroGood StoryLarger Than LifeHalloween CostumeFantastic Four Author:Miles Teller
