Jake Lloyd's Awkward Interview...

You remember Jake. He was young Anakin Skywalker in the Phantom Menace. Not the best actor in the world, but he did alright I guess for a little kid. But now it's 10 years later and he seems a bit bitter about the whole thing. Check this video out.

Wow, he does seem bitter. I guess of all the characters, he got the least respect. Probably still gets paid quite a bit for conventions.

I think he wound up being the punching bag for all those that hated the film. Him and Jar Jar of course. There isn't really that many young kids that are such good actors that they can carry a film which is what he was asked to do basically once they got to Tatooine. The main problem was that he really didn't have the chemistry with the other cast and always seemed out of place. The same could be said for the older Anakin (Hayden) in my opinion.
