My parents told me how I studied in dark rooms and hid. into the barn and patiently await Sir Sam's commands on the radio. Growing up with these stories and then having the opportunity to play him on screen is a huge responsibility. It was very frustrating, but I was lucky to be in the strong hands of Magna Golzar.

"Five months ago you thought you were my father," he explained. "But that's the biggest compliment to me," Vicky said with a laugh. That's it, this is what I do.
