Basketballs dont hold grudges!

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

In wrestling there are so many people inside and outside the ring, and it's so live, and it's this whole adrenaline thing. Whereas you move it into this more intimate thing, everything gets all quiet, someone says action, and you have to say the lines and make the words your own. It couldn't be any more different and it's weird sometimes trying to explain that to people. When I tell people that acting is much more terrifying to me than going out in front of ten thousand people, they don't quite believe it because for some reason that intimacy is just terrifying to me.

I'm more a fan of old-school films with really interesting stories and good performances. That's what I'd like to do.

I want to play the regular guy who's had a bit of a jaded past or a bit of a tortured soul because I think they're interesting.

I was an amateur wrestler, which I loved. It was my passion, but I started really late; I was a junior in high school when I began.

I didn't want to take the typical action roles that everybody was expecting me to take, because I was going to get typecast as that guy, the action guy who didn't have anything really bright to say and who just kicked in doors and punched people in the face and shot people and drove off in a cool car. I didn't want to be that guy.
