NEW YORK (CNN/WABC) - He might have been the star of the Super Bowl even though he's never played football.

Max Page is a child actor from California. During a Super Bowl commercial, Max dressed up as Darth Vader and used "The Force" to start a car.

That commercial has now landed the 6-year-old on Broadway. He and his family traveled to New York to meet actor James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" movies.

"It's all about pretend. That's the fun part of being an actor. Fun part of being a child," said Jones.

"Yeah, it hurts your hands, but I never get tired of it. It's fun," said Max.

Jones is now performing on Broadway in "Driving Miss Daisy."

Max has become an overnight sensation from the commercial. He was also born with a heart condition. At three months old, he underwent open heart surgery, and he had a pacemaker implanted.
