As a fighter, you have a weight cut, and if there's a weigh-in scene you want to look way smaller and depleted. You want there to be a noticeable difference between that and the fight day. You don't drink water, except for tiny sips, and you're not really eating anything, except for a tiny slice of sweet potato every hour.

I feel as though I've been very fortunate in my career, which is not all that long, so far.

That's where everything starts, as an actor: you've gotta have great writing and great character development, and then you have really great materials to work from.

What so many actors are chasing after is an opportunity to evolve and dive into roles that present unique challenges and give you an opportunity to dig your teeth into something unknown, and therefore risky and exciting.

I have this wholesome disposition in a lot of my characters. A certain earnestness.

I did bully somebody. I was insecure.
