At 11 years old, Ty Simpkins already has quite a few credits on his resume. Simpkins has been in movies since he was barely 3 months old, and has roles in flicks such as Insidious, The Next Three Days, and Little Children. Maybe even more interesting is how many times he's been cast in films with his real life sister Ryan Simpkins - they play siblings in Revolutionary Road, Pride and Glory and Arcadia, among others.
But for Iron Man 3, Ty's first action movie, he goes it alone. Ty plays Harley Keener, an intelligent kid who has a run-in with Iron Man and actually helps him save the day.
Ty's favorite part of working on Iron Man 3 was being able to spend time with its star Robert Downey Jr. "Robert's really fun to work with. He's a really nice guy."
Like many kids his age, Ty is a huge Iron Man fan. "My favorite superhero is Iron Man and I'm not just saying that because I worked on the Iron Man movie. It actually is Iron Man," he says very emphatically....

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) is reteaming with his Potter-castmate Alan Rickman (Prof. Severus Snape) in CBGB about New York City's legendary night club. Grint will play Cheetah Chrome of the punk band The Dead Boys, who played a crucial role in the night club's rise into the 1980s. Rickman will play CBGB owner Hilly Kristal and the film will reflect the impact the club had on the underground music scene. Here's the bad part: if the movie is true to its punk roots at all, it's DEFINITELY getting an R rating.
