To portray an iconic character has been brilliant in itself, and to be able to do that on a show like 'Once Upon a Time' enhances that because the show puts a spin on characters and makes them very different and puts core values that are very different that aren't in the original fairy tales a lot of people relate to.
To be honest, Peter Pan was one of those fairy tales that I sort of related to, and I think that's the case with a lot of kids. The whole idea of escapism really resonates with a lot of kids.
Some people become so immersed an a show, they have an image that the actor is not too dissimilar, but fortunately I've never had that experience.
There are a lot of similarities with film and TV, but also a lot of differences, especially in the way they film stuff.
To be honest, Peter Pan was one of those fairy tales that I sort of related to, and I think that's the case with a lot of kids.
