I like the fact that I can do stunts, but I don't think of myself as a stunt guy. Those guys are really good at what they do.

I wasn't a huge fan of the comic book, but I definitely was of the cartoon series. I wasn't much for sitting around and reading as a kid, I preferred to be outside running around and playing sports, but I was absolutely thrilled to get the role of Colossus.
