"I started to see similarities between Buster and myself over the years," he said. "Like he's from a single‑parent family, I'm from a single‑parent family. He loves sci‑fi and anything kind of science‑fiction wise. I am a huge sci‑fi buff. He has asthma; I have asthma. So it was blurring the lines there a little bit between reality and cartoon."
