Callan McAuliffe blows a whistle in the newest issue of HF Magazine.

The 16-year-old actor dished to the mag about his favorite moment in his career, the best life lesson he learned and admiring Johnny Depp. Check it:

On his favorite career moment: “My favorite moment in my career so far would definitely be the sword training I’m going through at the moment for Paradise Lost.”

Best life lesson given by a fellow actor: “‘Don’t do drugs’ – as generic as that sounds.”

Performances that have stuck in his mind: “I recall the performance of Thomas the Tank Engine the most of any show from my childhood. It had an enormous impact on my life. Now whenever I see a classic steam-train, I imagine it has an enormous grey face on the front of it. I’m also a huge fan of Johnny Depp, and the different characters he plays. I suppose an ultimate goal of mine would be to have his versatility and range.”
