It started with him saying some racist remarks about The Rock. He said he never wanted to be in a film with a person of color. Then he proceeded to remove his shirt whilst chanting 'WE ARE INFINITE!' Then after that he sexually assaulted the interviewer by grabbing his neck and pinching it.

Everyone can makes jokes about this dude, heck even I am not sold on him being Lex but something tells me Zack saw something in maybe some test reels or audition tapes.

MrCBM56 - 3/25/2014, 2:38 PM
I hope he doesn't start off directly with a shave head. Make it Happen later in the film.

@ ShadowPimp

I am sure he was just joking around or maybe you are right and he is locked in for the next six years. More than likely he is just joking around.

Watching the video, I can't see why people say he looks like a child. He actually sounds and look mature. It's really just the hairstyle. And if he can just build a bit more mass....

Still love this casting.

He will own it! I never doubted Zack's Casting. I may have doubted the screenwriter though, but I think we're good now.
