On How He Feels About The Movie As The Release Date Draws Closer:

"I’m excited for everybody to see the work that Joe Kosinski put into this, and Digital Domain and Darren Gilford, the production designer, and Disney. It’s a long one in the making. For everybody to get to see Joseph Kosinski’s directorial debut, and have it be Tron: Legacy, I feel really fortunate to be a part of that, and I’m really proud of Joe and everybody involved."


On How He Prepared For The Role Of Sam Flynn:

"There was a lot of training, in terms of the kapawara and parkour, the choreography for the fight sequences, the training for the suits, getting scanned into the computer and riding the motorcycle. All these qualities lent themselves to that. Then, you’ve just gotta think of a kid that’s really affected by the disappearance of his father and the abandonment issues that brings, and arriving in a world of complete unknown, now trying to find his father and get out, and everything that’s along the way in that."


On Whether He Got To Keep Anything From His Time On The Movie:

"I think I kept Sam’s jacket."


On The Challenges Of Training For The Role:

" They all are acquired over time, as long as you’re patient. They were all challenging just because, like with anything else, in terms of abilities, it takes time. That’s just inevitable. With the parkour, it took time to acquire the little mysterious muscles to have yourself leap over something with just your arms."


On How Director Joe Kosinski Helped The Actors To Envision The World Of Tron:

"That’s where Joe is such an incredible director. He was always 10 steps ahead of us. He would explain what you were looking at with such detail that you were actually seeing it. That’s where Joe deserves his grand applause. He just had such a great vision. He knew exactly what he was going to do. I giggle about it now. If you have stress, it’s the self-imposed stress that you put on yourself, over what you want to accomplish. I laugh, thinking that he knew, all this time, what he was doing, so I don’t know why I put so much stress on myself about it."


Tron: Legacy is set to be released in IMAX 3D on December 17, later this year. To hear more from the actor, follow the link below.
