In the first book of my Discworld series published more than 26 years ago I introduced Death as a character there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.
I hate the stereotype of the pitfalls of the child actor. There are so many amazing examples - Natalie Portman Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jodie Foster Drew Barrymore - of people who have made it through.
