'The Umbrella Academy' star Aidan Gallagher talks comic books and his character in Netflix's superhero series
Even though 'The Umbrella Academy' boasts an all-star cast, with big names like Ellen Page and Tom Hopper, Aidan Gallagher's role as Number Five is what really brings the show together. With his unparalleled skills in hand-to-hand combat, along with his ability to time-travel, 15-year-old Aidan's take on the time-traveling quinquagenarian is really something to look out for!
Despite his busy schedule (acting apart, Aidan made history last year by becoming the youngest United Nations Ambassador of all time after five years of working as an Ambassador to numerous environmental organizations), Aidan was kind enough to spare some time to speak to MEA WorldWide about his role on the show together with what inspires him, and just why he loves playing the role of the assassin.
