Meet the star of the new sci-fi drama series Krypton, Cameron Cuffe, who graces the cover of LaPalme Magazine‘s Spring 2018 Young Hollywood Issue, available now!
Here’s what the actor, who portrays Superman’s grandfather, had to say:
On one of his earliest acting jobs that paid him 100 pounds: “I never realized people got paid to act until then and I never thought I will play such an inspiring role in my life.”
On his character Seg-El: “‘Focus on yourself to change the world for the better’ is kind of a requirement when your grandson is Superman. Seg’s lifestyle is pretty rough. He has to fight to survive, literally.”
From Creative Director Derek Warburton: “Cameron is the perfect choice to be the cover of LaPalme‘s Young Hollywood issue. I chose him because he is fresh, a great acting talent and his brand new show Krypton is going to take the world by storm. I grew up watching Superman and I am very excited to follow the prequel. LaPalme prides itself on knowing what is next and who is going to become a great success. I look forward to seeing Cameron‘s star grow.”
