LOS ANGELES -- Just look and act like George Clooney, only much younger. How hard can it be?
When you're 12 and in a huge movie like Disney's Tomorrowland, the world is your oyster. At least, it should be, unless you're tasked with being the kid version of one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
So it's a good thing that job fell to Thomas Robinson, who is bright, engaging and full of humility -- just like Clooney, right? Tomorrowland is easily the biggest role yet for Robinson, who's had bit roles on TV shows How to Get Away with Murder and the reboot of Arrested Development.
Not only is he great in the movie, but he looks the part:

Mashable was on the blue carpet for the Saturday world premiere of Tomorrowland, held at Downtown Disney, where Robinson stopped to chat about what it was like to play a kid version of the 54-year-old leading man.
Ah, to be 12 and look like a young George Clooney again.
Tomorrowland hits theaters on May 22.
