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.

It's not that demanding. It's fun. That's one of the great things about being an actor. You get to learn all these things normal people don't get to learn.
