In 'Pacific Rim' I had to have a haircut I wouldn't usually rock. However, the moustache I had in the film - that might have to come out again. It was a good moustache. Good times.

I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.

I'm not interested in making all-black films - I come from a very diverse culture, I want to work with every type of person. I work a lot with women executives because they seem to be a lot more open minded about that and a lot more progressive in that way.

What really excites me in a project is when it goes in a way you haven't been before.

One of my first jobs was in a soap opera, five days a week. And what I found is, although there are different directors coming in and different crews, you just lived in your character. It's the nature of the story, the ongoing story, and it can get deeper and deeper.

I try to fit in workouts whenever I can.

I was in The Wire for three years, and I left at the highlight of that.
