The American actor Dante Basco has admitted that he was the only one who could scare Hollywood veteran director Steven Spielberg.

The 'Blood and Bone' actor said that he was just 16 when he first met the 68-year-old filmmaker and after auditioning for his blockbuster film 'Hook' starring late Robin Williams, Spielberg told the budding actor that he was the only one who "scared" him which was why he was chosen among all others who auditioned, News.com.au reported.

The 39-year-old actor also gushed about his co-star Williams in a recent interview sharing that he first met the late American actor during fencing practice, adding that he was amazing and a bundle of energy, but also very serious about his work.

Basco is currently busy doing voice-overs for a few animated series and has been working on writing and producing film.
