Questions and Answers with Lucas Till
(Justin in The Lost & Found Family)
Q: How did you get your start in acting?
A: I started taking acting classes when I was 10. I met my agent through the school, and then I got my first acting job in between elementary and middle school.
Q: Were you able to keep active when you were living in Atlanta? How do you like Los Angeles now that you live there?
A: I liked that I was able to keep active enough working in Atlanta while still remaining a normal kid. Living in L.A. is definitely a culture shock, but I find I like it a little more every day.
Q: How did the part in Hannah Montana: The Movie come about? How has the success of that film impacted your life and career?
A: Hannah Montana was definitely a surprise. My agent in Atlanta put me on tape, then a few days later I got a callback in Nashville. The next day I got a call saying that they wanted me to fly to L.A. to screen test with Miley Cyrus. Hannah Montana definitely has opened doors for future work.
Q: What drew you to The Lost & Found Family?
A: I think what drew me to the movie was that it was a feel-good movie and that we shot it in Georgia near where I lived.
Q: What did you like most about your character? What did you find challenging about playing him?
A: I liked my character because I could relate somewhat to him, so I knew I could pull it off; however he was also very different from me, which made it challenging and fun.
Q: What are some of your memories from shooting The Lost & Found Family?
A: I wasn't able to skateboard very well, so they needed to hire a stunt double for those scenes!
Q: Has this film changed the way you look at foster families and kids in the foster-care system?
A: This has definitely changed my perspective on kids in the foster-care system. Now I feel like I know some kids like the ones portrayed in this movie.
Q: What's next for you?
A: I just finished filming a Jackie Chan movie, and hopefully there are more projects are on the horizon.
