There are a lot of great athletes who stop working out, and they get out of shape like everybody else in their 30s and 40s.

The interesting thing about TV drama that's kind of nice is, I'm just an actor. I'm doing my role.

When I started studying acting in New York, I didn't plan to be an action hero. I just wanted to learn acting because I felt it was something I needed to try to do for myself, to express something, my inner pain, or something I couldn't get out.

I discovered martial arts, first judo and then karate.

My sensei was a British karate champion named Brian Fitkin. He was my mentor and because I had a hard relationship with my dad, he became a father figure to me.

Jackie Chan, I've known him, he's a great guy. I know he's very watchable and fun. He's perfect, actually.

Nicolas Cage is a great actor and he's done some good action movies too.
