Aaron Ashmore (Smallville, Killjoys) joins us this week to share his shared experience in this industry working on a hit series like Smallville, while also diving into the very unique experience of what it’s like to navigate Hollywood with an identify twin sibling (Shawn Ashmore). Aaron talks about the surprise of landing the role as Jimmy Olsen on Smallville despite his brother appearing in the show during its inception; plus he gets into what rubbed him the wrong way with how they dealt with the canon of his DC character. We also talk about the trauma that helped him unknowingly develop as an actor, having back bone, and rivalries that come with growing up as an adolescent twin.
