Curious about the actor whose name was inspired by a superhero? At just 15, he pleaded with his famous uncle, a leading Hollywood filmmaker, for a role in one of his acclaimed movies.
“Give me a screen test, I’ll show you acting,” he recalled, only to be met with silence.
By 17, he forged his own path, landing a minor role in the 1982 cult classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High, marking the start of his uniquely eccentric career.
