In an exclusive interview with MEAWW, Colm Feore talks about why his character on the show tends to keep his kids at a distance.

'The Umbrella Academy' is releasing tomorrow and fans are absolutely ecstatic about the portrayal of this off-beat bunch of superheroes. MEAWW spoke to Colm Feore, who plays the adoptive father of a superhero family. Colm's brilliant portrayal of the ever-distant Hargreeves is akin to the graphic novels, and the billionaire industrialist provides everything for his children to grow into the superheroes that they're meant to be. 

When asked about whether his character, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, loves his kids, Colm tells us that "the short answer is yes", and goes on to say "the complicated answer is, in his own way".

Colm elaborates saying that "his job was to make them realize their potential, and be the very best super kids they could be to save the world". Speaking on his character's need to keep his children at bay, and talking about raising a superhero family, Colm says that "there's not a lot of time for birthday parties with your school friends or I'm sorry, did I not kiss you before you went to bed? I'm sorry, did you go to bed? Just sleep. I need you to sleep. I need you to eat and I need you to work hard".
