I will be catching up on the huge flood of Kaboom updates and reviews that have been generated by the US release and Sundance Film Festival shortly, as well as on the Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 coverage. For now though, Just Jared has posted an excerpt from a great article featuring Thomas and photos by Gregg Araki.

Thomas Dekker poses for his Kaboom director Gregg Araki in VMAN’s “The Thrill of the Game Issue,” on newsstands Tuesday (February 8).

The 23-year-old is featured in the mag’s “Fearless: Both Sides of the Lens” spread, where top directors photographed their leading men.

“Thomas is a fearless and brave individual who marches to his own drummer. He’s part of a bold new generation of actors who are really passionate about taking on new challenges and pushing themselves and their art to a whole new level,” Gregg shared.

“He was excited to go to the sometimes tricky and dangerous places that [his Kaboom] role required, and really seems to thrive on taking those kinds of risks,” he added.
