Leif gantvoort biography sample
•
For a math whiz who spent high school avoiding farm chores by participating in school theater productions, the chance to play any role in a major comic book spelfilm is pretty cool. But for Leif Gantvoort, an actor with serious creds as both a comic book fan and geeky dad, the opportunity to play a part in the newly released The Amazing Spider-Man was, well, amazing.
While Leif's character, "Glasses," is the villainous thug who murders Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, Leif han själv couldn't be more different from his role in the rulle. I interviewed Leif after he gave a talk about his career and his role in the movie at the annual gathering of Mensa, the high-IQ society.
Charming and self-deprecating, Leif happily answered questions from Mensans ranging from the highlights of the red carpet premiere to how he spent his college days.
Still enthusiastic, Leif answered even more geeky questions from me about his role in the movie, life as a dad, and Mensan.
