00:00Voilà une chose qui est extrêmement clapped, avec un défi acturé.

00:14Mais j'avais l'adamnité du capacité de favoriser et les droits de surprise.

00:21Très bon, ça fait 19 reasons.

00:27I stood up on my hands, and my hands served at its feet, basically.

00:31And E.T.'s arms just kind of hung down.

00:33They were static.

00:34They didn't have any articulation or anything like that when I was walking.

00:38The big scene that I had was the drunk scene, the kitchen scene.

00:42They were concerned about me, that I would be able to take the falls without getting hurt.

00:47I think on the third take, Stephen said cut in print, and everybody laughed.

00:52We knew that it was going to be one of the funniest scenes in the film.

00:54They never called me Stunt E.T. in the credits.

00:58In the credits, I'm just under a special E.T. movement.

01:05So anyway, so back in the day, I'm pretty lucky to be directed by Spielberg,

01:09even though I was part, officially part of the effects crew, not the cast.

01:16My mom said that I moved around as soon as I could sit up with my hands.

01:22He wasn't quite sure how that was going to work out in the real world.

01:26By that time, I borrowed my brother's skateboard, and it was determined that I would get around on my skateboard.

01:33I don't know if it was bravery or just a real option that I had.

01:37It was the funnest option.

01:38It was the fastest option.

01:39He'd come in and borrow it without asking.

01:45He pretty much had a go-for-it attitude.

01:50Any opportunities he had to get out of his box, he would take advantage of that.

01:55So no, I didn't have a problem with it at all.

01:57And he's no different than anybody else.

02:00Whatever he can't do, he's going to figure out a way to do it.

02:03It was a nice treat to see him on a big screen.

02:08Character fit perfect with his situation.

02:12It really did.

02:13Do you remember when we went to the premiere?

02:14I do.

02:15Yeah.

02:16It was a limo.

02:16First limo we've ever been in.

02:20Yes, big smile, yes.

02:23That's great.

02:23Grab safe, buddy.

02:24I love it.
