Still a Kid at Heart

Few actors might jump at the chance to play a character that has almost no lines and requires hours of heavy makeup application. But Cole Sprouse, who stars in the new film Lisa Frankenstein as a reanimated corpse known as "the Creature," wasn't just up for the task, he reveled in it. "I'm a big geek for practical effects," the 31-year-old says with a grin. Even when talking about the "tomblike experience" of getting a prosthetic cast of his face, he can't contain his enthusiasm. "They cover your head in silicone except for one nostril to allow you to breathe out of," he explains. "Full sensory deprivation. You do your Zen work and try as best you can to not have a panic attack."
