Cute, very talented teen actor Freddie Highmore will be 16 on Valentine's Day...the day his film The Spiderwick Chronicles hits theaters. At his young age, Freddie has already gotten to act with mega-star Johnny Depp... twice.. in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and again in Finding Neverland. Working with Johnny is a dream for most actors, including Freddie's fellow teen Saoirse Ronan of the Oscar-nominated Atonement. The young Brit actor has worked with Russell Crowe in A Good Year and hot Jonathan Rhys Meyers in August Rush. You can also throw in respected actors like Kate Winslet and Dustin Hoffman. Not a bad co-star roster!

We interviewed Freddie in Beverly Hills to learn about the new film based upon the popular novels and what his future holds (he's got some big school tests coming up!). In "Spiderwick", Freddie takes on the challenge of playing twins trying to adjust to a broken family and life in a new, magical and kinda spooky old house. Each boy has a totally different personality; one is an angry rebel and the other a more bookish, quiet type. We wondered how difficult it was to portray two roles in one film....

TeenHollywood: Would you say you're more like twin Simon or more like Jared?

Freddie: Maybe somewhere in between the two.

TeenHollywood: Which was easier for you to play?
