Honestly, I don't aspire to be a huge movie star. I really just fell in love with acting... Everything I do on-screen is very subtle.

I never excelled at one sport or had a very strong passion for anything other than wrestling and bodybuilding.

I really feel like indie films are where I learn to be a better actor, especially because they always give you a bit more freedom to collaborate.

It's never boring in makeup.

The worst injury I have ever suffered in the ring was a torn triceps; they had to take a piece of my hamstring to repair the tear. It was brutal; I was out for 6 months.

It's much easier when you have your co-workers who are just, they're there in the moment. If you were out of the moment, you would feel odd.

People look at me, and they have a certain perception, and they slap a label on me. The guy you saw in a wrestling ring is not who I am.
