Quotes by Elden Henson

I just remember Freddie Prinze, Jr. being the nicest guy in the world. To the point where at first I thought, 'Hmm - there's no way anyone could be this nice.' But he really is one of the coolest dudes I've ever met.

I had the good fortune to be in some movies when I was younger that, for whatever reason, people identified with or related with.

'Hunger Games' was an awesome job. I never had to learn any lines. I never had to do any ADR.

When I was a kid, I was in all 'The Mighty Ducks' movies, and that sort of created this weird thing when I was very young. And luckily, I had a lot of really good friends and family that kept me from, I guess, going down a more negative path that actors can go down.

I think the great thing about working for Marvel is no matter who is in the driver's seat, they seem to be making good stuff.

When I go home, I got a kid; I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about the character or anything that may or may not happen.

That's one of the cool things about being on a Marvel show: there's the possibility for all of these characters to collide.
