Every  once in a while, we get presented with amazing stories of geekery that  must be told.  During your daily travels around the Internet, you may  have seen the picture on the right.  With all of the attention that 
The Avengers  movie is receiving, seeing a picture of a young boy wielding a Captain  America toy shield on the shoulders of Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston,  is a very cool thing.
The image has reached a viral level of  popularity, with people all over the country sharing it on Twitter,  Facebook, and every other form of social media imaginable. While the  Internet loved the picture, a very simple question started to arise:  “Who is the kid on Loki’s shoulders?”
 Some had speculated that it was the son of  Mark Ruffalo, who portrayed Bruce Banner (aka The Hulk) in the film.   Others thought it might be the son of one of the crew members who worked  on the film.  Conspiracy theories started to form, with some believing  that Loki might have gone back in time and captured Captain America as a  child.
 The truth of it all?  The boy on Loki’s shoulders is none other than Edison, son of our good friend Erin, who directs 
the web series, CASTERS. The  story of how Edison got his picture taken with Tom Hiddleston is a  great case of “right place, right time” that Erin was kind enough to  write about for us.
