Robbie Amell has quite an exciting lineup of past and present roles, from high school jock and wacky teenage detective to war hero and a literal superhero. Unsurprisingly, this year sees the Canadian actor gracing cinema screens in a lively comedy called “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=the+duff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Duff</a>” as well as a heartwarming family drama “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=max" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Max</a>,” even as anticipation is building up following his debut on TV series “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=the+flash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Flash</a>.”
&nbsp;
DA MAN: Hi Robbie, where are you right now and what are you currently busy working on? 
Robbie Amell: I’m currently on my front porch in Burbank. I’ve been shooting “The Flash,” doing additional shooting for “Max” and starting press for “The Duff.”

DA: You have a number of films premiering this year. Let’s start with “The Duff.” Do you really think that the “Designated Ugly Fat Friend” label actually exists? 
RA: I actually don’t. It’s weird and I might sound like I’m an idiot, but I think there are either no Duffs at all or everyone is a Duff. Chew on that.
DA: While the movie is basically a comedy, do you think there’s some moral lesson for the audience to take in? 
RA: Absolutely. The movie is much less about Mae’s character getting a makeover and more about our characters finding ourselves and learning that we shouldn’t change for anyone and be happy with who we are.

DA: Is playing a role in a comedy easier than in other genres? 
RA: It’s different. Not easier or harder. It’s more black and white though. People either laugh or they don’t. You just put it all on the line and hope people laugh.
DA: How did you get the chemistry with <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=mae+whitman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mae Whitman</a> going? 
RA: Mae is incredible. She’s so funny and smart—very intimidating when you first get to know her.

&nbsp;
DA: You also have another movie titled “Max” coming up soon. Could you tell us about your role and the plot of the movie? 
RA: I play a marine named Kyle. I’m stationed in Afghanistan and I’m the handler of an IED-sniffing dog named Max. The story is heavily based around my death and the Max going back the U.S. to be with my family.
DA: The movie very much highlights the relationship between humans and dogs. What do you think of dogs as man’s best friend? Are you a dog person yourself? 
RA: I do. My fiancé and I have two beautiful little pups at home.

&nbsp;
DA: You also act as Firestorm in TV series “The Flash.” How did you manage the role in the first place? 
RA: I was very lucky and was offered the role of Firestorm. <a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=greg+berlanti" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greg Berlanti</a> who produced “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=the+tomorrow+people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Tomorrow People</a>” is also a producer on “The Flash.” We have a great relationship and he was kind enough to offer me the role.
DA: Before acting, you were very much into hockey. What made you switch from sports to showbiz back then? 
RA: I actually just fell into acting. After booking my first movie “<a href="http://daman.co.id/?s=cheaper+by+the+dozen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cheaper by the Dozen 2</a>” and, having such an amazing time, I quit hockey to start acting lessons.
