A period film, where you, for example, where you have a traditional wardrobes, you are bound to act a certain way. But in a modern film, a lot of body gesture.

When audiences look at an action actor like myself, sometimes we are very easily stereotyped or characterized as one type. They forget that we are actors, too.

I think film, to me, as a director, is about telling a story.

For me, the challenge of a period film is that, unlike a contemporary film where the character can be very free-form when it comes to the acting, there's a burden to acting in a period film because you have to stay within the character's historical background and the gestures of certain periods.

I think every actor wants to try out different things.

From my experience as an actor, choreographer, action director, and producer, I understand the elements and the dynamics of being a film maker.

I always tell younger filmmakers, it's not just about the acting or the art itself. It's about how big of an audience watches your film.
