Tye Sheridan

I'd say James Dean is someone that's really inspired me. Just the fact that he did only three movies before he died at such a young age, and yet everyone knows who he is. It really blows my mind.

I just randomly fell into acting. I was so young at the time that I never really thought about acting... After I was into it, I had a feeling that I was going to end up doing this anyway somehow.

Drama is something I'm good at, I guess.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
