"I basically did a somersault into frame and a somersault out of frame and I was like, 'They may never see this but if they do I need them to know that I've got some gymnastics abilities and stuff,'" the theater actor said. He added that he sent a few tapes to the production and every time, the "Billy Elliot" star would add a few acrobatics to increase his chances of playing Spider-Man.
