I grew up rock climbing.

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

How far would you go to protect your family? I'm a father, I'm a son, I'm a grandson, and I'm a husband. If someone were to hurt the women in my life and the law didn't take care of it, what would I do? Pretty awful things.

A lot of people don't know enough about me. When I meet people who freak out about Game of Thrones, they don't even know that I can speak English.

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 grew up with artists.

People who know me, know who I am.
