Andrew Garfield has always been a Spider-man fan, ever since his mother dressed him up as Spider-man for Halloween when he was three, but I bet he didn't know he would be putting on a skin tight Spider-man costume and swing from rooftop to rooftop in New York city.
Garfield says that as a kid he could really understand the troubles that Peter Parker could when reading comics. He could really connect and understand what he was going through, but he thought of Parker as being the Underdog and thought well of him whenever he stood up for himself and others (those moments still send shivers down my spine). Andrew Garfield always thought of Peter as a symbol of good and also an idol.
In early 2010, Andrew Garfield heard about plans for an Amazing Spider-man movie and when could you ever actually play your idol? Marc Webb was directing this even though he wasn't very well known and had to carry out the franchise which had three Summer blockbusters from before!
To make sure that Andrew got the role, he sent a picture of himself when he was three years old in the Spider-man costume to the producers of the film and put them in a position where they just couldn't say no.
Amazing Spider-man will hit theaters in July 3rd.
