Aaron: (Favorite childhood TV show) Mr. Dressup If you talk to anybody who grew up in Canada, that's what they watched. He had puppets who lived in a tree house. He was like the Canadian Mr. Rodgers.
Aaron: (Can't make it through the day without) Coffee. I'm a caffeine junkie, which helps for playing Jimmy. He has that nervous-energy thing going on.
Aaron Ashmore: (about filming with special effects on the "Smallville" episode 'Wither') He did all that green screen stuff and said it was fun. He told me, 'The realer you make it, the better it works.' People dig it because there's heart to it.
Aaron Ashmore: I decided I should take the roles because school will always be there.
Aaron Ashmore: People confused us all the time in high school. We were in the same classes and teachers were always mixing us up. We've dated some of the same girls -- we did have the same taste once or twice -- but we never traded places. We fought, just like brothers, and now we're really close and best friends.
Aaron: When I went to accept my diploma when I graduated high school, I definitely did a trip on the way up so that was one of those things where I wished I could take that back. But nobody noticed.
Aaron Ashmore: I try to keep my mind occupied, reading and I play guitar but I just spend time with my friends. That’s the luxury of doing what we do. You have a lot of time off to travel too. This year I went to Hong Kong and Vietnam for fourteen days. I had a friend going to school in Hong Kong so I stayed with her there and that wasn’t tough but it got a little rougher when we got to Vietnam.
Aaron Ashmore: I love Canada, and I love Toronto. As long as I can work here, I will.
Aaron Ashmore: Shawn always gets cast as the nice guy, and I usually get the jock, the bad guy, or the jerk.
After high school, Aaron worked as a sous chef while not acting.
