As a Polynesian, our gods are tied to water, so this means something special.

A wolf is not bad for eating and tearing apart something, if it's for survival. It doesn't do it to be menacing.

I don't really have any limitations for what I want to do, as an actor.

I was on Stargate: Atlantis for four years, playing a similar character called Ronon, who was an alien that didn't say much and grunted. I've been there and done that. Whether people have seen it or not, you want to stretch. And then, while I waited, I got The Red Road, and I'd never gotten anything like that.

I made a conscious choice to turn down some movies that were action-based, so that I could direct Road to Paloma and show that side.

I'm not a big fan of just doing weights. Anything more physical is infinitely better.

Like it or not, I'm the new f***ing Aquaman buddy.
