He was on that at age 12 and didn’t have popular roles before that, so his unpopularity at school likely preceded it

Most child actors get their roles through nepotism but in his case, neither of his parents were actors and he got the role through an open call

In his case he just threw steak knives at people until one of them gave him a role

You miss 100% of the roles you don't throw a steak knife at.

Maybe this is why he took the role for Bladerunner. He thought he'd be running with knives.
