Actor Rhys Ifans has said he was shocked when he was cast in The Amazing Spider-Man because he never expected to land the job.The 44-year-old actor, who plays the role of The Lizard in the re-boot of the popular Spider-Man film franchise, admitted he felt he had to audition because of how big it could be, reported Contactmusic."Well I was being invited to make this. This is the story of any actor's life. You go for 100 auditions a month and very few of them come to fruition. But with Spider-Man, you think, Oh yeah, I'm familiar with that franchise! I think I better go for this one!" said Ifans."So off I went, not expecting - I never expect to get a gig - and you weren't sent a script because it was all very secretive," he added.Ifans had to use a lot of CGI technology to get into character, and he admits it felt like he was going clubbing."I was participant in a technology I have absolutely no understanding of, but a willing participant. This was crazy, Why am I sitting in a room with these blue lights, with a million dots on my face? It was like going clubbing or something!" he said.
