For some reason, I struggle seeing myself as a leading man.

It's really a great luxury to have, to be able to go from big films to indie films, too. Because I'm on the job learning as an actor, and independent films is where I'm learning to act.

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

My ultimate goal is actually to direct and develop projects. I don't want them to be big projects with a lot of special effects because that's not really what appeals to me.

The acting stuff is more important to me than actually being a big star.

I'm not a leading man. I'm a character actor. That's what I want to be.

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.
